Malaika

There is another world beneath the surface. Magic and mad science. Cults and conspiracies. Gods and monsters. My name is Malaika Alice Malter and I’ve taken it upon myself to study these phenomena… because it’s the only way I can change my fate. And it beats having to get a real job.

—Malaika Alice Malter
Alice and Jenny in front of a conspiracy-themed background. Jenny is a tan-skinned woman with a red streak in her short black hair and a mischievous smile. Alice is a Black and Ashkenazi Jewish woman with fully red hair in a bob, wearing a Star of David necklace and grinning ear to ear.

Praise?

Like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen but, like, way gayer.

If Tintin and Hellboy sloppily made out, it would almost as good as Malaika.

You don’t even know who I am, do you?
