This weekend, in the DC-Virginia area, the goddess of music Janelle Monáe made a special presentation at the young comic book convention Blerdcon. Like other great musical celebrities such as Prince, DMC, and Kiss, Monáe joined the ranks of musicians who challenged the world of four-color adventures in her new book, Archandroid Graphic Novel: Chapter 1.
If you weren’t in the room, she posted the news on her Instagram account. There, a copy of a graphic novel starring Monae was decorated with writing by Chuck Lightning and illustrations by Chad Weatherford.

Monae will write in that post
Archanroid Graphic Novel: Chapter 1 has arrived. This is a lot of months made and I couldn’t think of a suitable place to release the first 800 physical copies @blerdcon. As a world builder, it makes me feel like you all around the world and @Wondaland sees me the most. Thank you to all the true fundroids who have been involved with @wondaland & me since Metropolis, Cindy Mayweather and Jane 57821. Without you this is not. Thank you for your love and patience. Cindy has returned from the future with a story to tell. It’s your time to bring us back to one…
At the time of this writing, there is no summary of the book, but Monae has appeared in various science fiction shows like Stargate: Universe, with the scent of Eve Ewing, Danny Roar, Danny Roar and Shelley Rene, as the genre of Afrofuturist is self-described. Extension into this amazing storyteller toolbox.
