Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection, Volume 3 by Elizabeth LaPensée, Michael Sheyahshe
5.0
Moonshot explores Indigenous Futurisms in their latest collection, which like the first two showcases a broad range of Indigenous comics writers and artists and promises to expand readers' knowledge and imaginations. All the pieces are solid but a few are absolutely stunning, like Jeffrey Veregge's "Sisters," about women who work on a shellfish mining asteroid and "Sky People" by Richard Van Camp with art by Kyle Charles. One of my favourites was more of a sparingly illustrated story than a comic: Sean and Rachel Qitsualik-Tinsley's "Waterward" with art by Sadekaronhes Esquivel. Even though it doesn't fit a standard comics format, the pages of white text on black background do their part to build up suspense and emotion, and the illustrations pack a punch.
