ZEBRA COMICS BUILDING A REPUTATION FOR CONSISTENCY

  It is no doubt that when it comes to publishing comics in Africa, consistency has always been a problem.  There are tons of mobile apps for comics in Africa, but no one has been able to provide content consistently and with equal measure on quality.  However, Zebra comics since the beginning of 2023 has proven to break from that drawback. They have been releasing comics every two days , and this February, they took it up a notch to daily publications. We hope they can keep up with this pace, for the African comics space truly needs this level of consistency and dedication.  By our assertion at the Geek Chimp, Zebra Comics is currently the most reliable comic book app in Africa. Some even say it is the best so far, considering the user experience. In a later article, we shall go in depth into the functionalities of the Zebra Comics app. Download Zebra Comics from google play store. And if you use and iOS device, go to https://zebra-comics.com to be granted access to their platform.

What is Afro-futurism?


 Afrofuturism is a cultural and artistic movement that combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, and African culture. It is a way of imagining the future that is rooted in African culture and history. 

Afrofuturism explores themes such as post-colonialism, technology, the environment, and identity in order to create unique and imaginative visions of the future. It is often used as a tool for social and political commentary, and is also used to explore themes of liberation, empowerment, and resilience.

Afrofuturism is a philosophy of science and history that explores the intersection of the African diaspora culture with science and technology.

It addresses themes and concerns of the African diaspora through technoculture and speculative fiction, encompassing a range of media and artists with a shared interest in envisioning black futures that stem from Afro-diasporic experiences. The term was coined by Mark Dery, an American Cultural critic in 1993, and explored in the late 1990s through conversations led by Alondra Nelson. Ytasha L. Womack, writer of Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture, defines it as "an intersection of imagination, technology, the future and liberation".
