Are you ready for some Dungeons and Dragons-inspired, action-packed Epic fight sequences, a character crew that stars an adorably kaftan-attired, snarky, vampiric Demoness, a fashion-obsessed budding male model and rising movie star, a martial-arts and battle-accomplished orphan girl whose adopted mother is the Goddess of War and and Love, and a dead soldier from the Iraq war, newly arisen through the power of an ancient stone tablet, along with his younger brother, fourteen-year old New Yorker Sikander Aziz, who wields an ancient sword named Kasusu and helps his immigrant parents run a deli on the corner of Fifteenth and Siegel?Ĭhada deftly crafts a fantastic tale that blends ancient Mesopotamian mythology -Gods, Goddesses, ancient villains and powerful artifacts- with a crisp, modern, storytelling edge, compelling epic action sequences, and a clear and unflinching exploration of obstacles and racism faced by Muslim immigrants in their pursuits of the American Dream. ![]()
