Amazing work!” —Charlie Adlard, THE WALKING DEAD “Shobo and Shof give us an original, beautifully crafted sci-fi with NEW MASTERS. It’s an incredible debut from a distinctly African perspective. Shof’s rhythmic storytelling, palettes, and world building visuals perfectly seam with Shobo’s intriguing cast of heroes, cut throats, and politicians like only brothers can.
