Book Review: Octavia Butler's Kindred (graphic novel) by Damian Duffy and John Jennings

Octavia Butler’s Kindred
adapted from the novel by Octavia Butler by Damian Duffy and John Jennings (Butler)

A time travel story following a young woman from the 1970s back to the plantation run by her ancestors. Powerful and emotional.

 

(Note: A TV series adaptation of this story appeared in December 2022 on the Hulu streaming platform — it adapts the first three chapters of the novel into 8 episodes, with some changes from the original source material. Additional seasons are planned, continuing the adaptation of the original story.)
