Inspired by the heavy metal world of Brütal Legend, and Christian and Norse Mythology, “Mkali’s Wrath” follows an African woman whose village was raided, and her people taken as slaves, by a sadistic cult called, “The Pure,” an army of white supremacists bent on “cleansing the world.” With weapons gifted to her by a Valkyrie, Mkali Bapoto must confront the cult if she wants to free her people. This story is a celebration of the strength of women and people of color, and a message about the ridiculous idea that any one type of people is superior to another.
