IDW Collect Cult YA Webcomic ‘Codex Black’ This April

IDW are collaborating with writer/creator Camilo Moncada Lozano (with colours by Angel DeSantiago) to collect the cult webcomic, Codex Black, coming out Wednesday April 14th.

The first collection will be entitled Codex Black: (Book One): A Fire Among Clouds, and ahead of a preview, here’s the synopsis:

“Donají is a fearless Zapotec girl who, even though she’s only fifteen, is heralded as a hero by her village. In Codex Black, Donají sets out on an adventure–accompanied by the god that lives inside of her poncho–to find her missing father. Along the way, she meets a 17-year-old winged Mexica warrior named Itzcacalotl, and over time their temporary partnership blooms into an incredible friendship. The search brings the young pair closer to danger and deeper into mystery than either could have predicted. What exactly was Donají’s father involved with? And how did a simple search for a missing relative lead Donají and Itzcacalotl into a fight with a terrifying bat monster to defend an entire village?”

As well as the collected webcomic, the back-up material includes meticulously researched background materials that contextualize everything within the narrative about Mesoamerican mythology, history and culture.
