Adventures in New America is the first sci-fi, political satire, Afrofuturistic buddy comedy, serialized for New Americans in a new and desperate time.
Inspired by the celestial teachings of Sun Ra, Sanford and Son, the poetic fiction of Octavia Butler, and the underground comic Cerebus the Aardvark, Adventures in New America is a veritable stew of stark horror, kitchen-sink melodrama, slamming door sex comedy, and phantasmagoric fantasy.
Set a few years in the future, Adventures in New America follows the escapades of two mismatched African-New-American best friends — fat, lonely, curmudgeon IA and lesbian sneak-thief Simon Carr — who take on a series of increasingly wild heists to get quick cash to pay for IA’s medical treatment while attempting to survive the wilds of New New York City — and a secret cabal of Tetchy Terrorist Vampire Zombies from outer space.
