Rodney Barnes, Xzibit & Jonathan Wayshak's Florence & Normandie OGN
From Zombie Love Studios comes a new tale of monsters and mayhem! Down on his luck, Malik, an intelligent, young black man with an engineering degree—delivers fast food just to make ends meet. His girlfriend left him, his grandmother thinks he's a disappointment, and his ambitions and hope are slipping away. He doesn't think his life could get any worse…until an APB of a suspected criminal that matches Malik's description puts him in direct odds with Officer Brown, a cop with a chip on his shoulder who is looking for any excuse to escalate the situation. Now, Florence and Normandie – the cross-street infamous as the flashpoint of the 1992 LA Riots – may just be the last thing Malik sees if he makes one wrong move…but little does he know that this landmark corner is about to find itself at the center of another seminal moment of American history: The world's first alien invasion. Can these two men, from polar opposite backgrounds, put aside their differences and stop fighting each other long enough to find a way to save Los Angeles… or will they kill each other first? The story comes from legendary Rapper/Actor @xzibit and myself, with art from @wayshak and @margalotto. Florence & Normandie will be available this Fall and will be a 5 chapter graphic novel.
And it looks a bit like this…
