Kugali Anthology Vol 1: Raki Edition by Keenan Kornegay, Ziki Nelson, Aiman Mimiko, Jasonas Lamy, Juni Ba, Hafeez Oluwa

3.0

I backed this volume in addition to the Regular Kugali on Kickstarter because I was curious about the different level of content being provided that was labeled 18+. Aside from one of the stories depicting a monster phallus about to rape a women, the rest of graphic violence seemed to be about the same as the regular edition. I felt like the quality of these stories were a bit better. The standout collection was Kayin and Abeni. The art was so unique, I love the mix of sci-fi with tribal huts and boats and the humor of the third issue about Slug Yassa was my favorite out of the entire book. I love everything that artist Juni Ba and writer Keenan Kornegay are doing with these characters. Overall, this volume was an improvement in dialogue, art, and storytelling.
