This is the first issue of the series. Afro Desia and her group are a musical band, and they are also pirates and smugglers. When Captain Beefheart delivers a special cargo to the Baaad Muthaz, suddenly everyone is after them and said cargo.
This is a nice and quick story. The pace is fast; after a musical number, the action starts and keeps going. There are some small flashback sequences, but they connect to the main story. I liked the story, but this being the first issue, it felt a bit short. I also note that the story here ends in a cliffhanger.
The art is not great, but it does have a nice funk sensibility to it. On a positive note, the cover art made me think of Prince. Overall I liked this light comic. I am curious to see how they follow up, but for now this was good.
3 out of 5 stars.
