Shared right here at The DeMonster as a free gift courtesy of AHOY Comics and friends, you can now check out the first issue of ANCESTRAL RECALL below absolutely for free.

Created & drawn by two members of DC Entertainment’s Milestone Initiative: writer Jordan Clark (Aquaman, Star Wars Adventures) and artist Atagun Ilhan (Poison Ivy, The Shadow Cabinet), together the duo have reunited for Ancestral Recall, a comic that turns black history into a literal superpower.

Once painter Melvin Waring’s wife mysteriously disappears, he embarks on a quest to save her from the futuristic Modern Living Corporation. But he’s not alone. With him… is the uncanny ability to channel black history, both the knowledge and skills of historical black figures from the past, to bring those talents into his own present, making Waring, well, pret-ty damn superheroic.

Writer Steve Orlando loved it, describing it as “SINNERS meets QUANTUM LEAP.” But you can decide for yourself by reading the preview below!
