Now Wax and his crew must master the intergalactic musical martial artof Sci-Fu to fight the power and save Earth. Word to your mother.
"A lighthearted tale with black and brown characters, matter-of-fact Brooklyn bilingualism, and a solid message of creating through failure and love." * Kirkus *
"[...] it's Mercado’s artwork that truly puts a fresh spin on this tale; his heavy outlining and bright colorization make his cartoon characters jump off the page, which makes the many action sequences all that more impressive." * BookList *
"His caricatured figures and dynamic layouts, coupled with a neon palette and graffiti flourishes, make for an entertaining story with a little something for everyone: hip-hop, tech-driven action, and romance." * Publisher's Weekly *
"A must have for libraries nationwide." * School Library Journal *
"Yehudi Mercado blends science fiction, kung fu, and hip-hop in Sci-Fu, a unique and entertaining graphic-novel adventure." * Foreword Reviews *
"Old school hip hop meets old school science fiction in this fun comic." * Polygon *
