Graphic Novels Recommended by Sci-Fu Characters!

January 9, 2018 by Mia Wenjen

Please welcome Yuhudi Mercado with a really original diversity book list! He choose books recommended by the characters of Sci-Fu!

Sci-Fu by Yuhudi Mercado

Hip-hop, sci-fi and kung fu all hit the turntables for the mash-up mix of the year! Cartoonist/force of nature Yehudi Mercado (Pantalones, TX, Rocket Salvage) sets his sights on 1980s Brooklyn and Wax, a young mix-master who scratches the perfect beat and accidentally summons a UFO that transports his family, best friend, and current crush to the robot-dominated planet of Discopia. Now Wax and his crew must master the intergalactic musical martial art of Sci-Fu to fight the power and save Earth. Word to your mother. [graphic novel, ages 9 and up]

 

Graphic Novels Recommended by Sci-Fu Characters!

1. Wax’s pick

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders by Hirohiko Araki

Wax is all about music. It’s the life force that flows through him. I imagine he would really tear into an action-packed manga about a troubled kid who thinks he’s possessed with a demon, but it turns out to be a superpower called “A Stand.” Many characters are named after famous musicians like Ronnie James Dio, Iggy Pop and Terrence Trent Darby. [graphic novel, ages 14 and up]
