Posted By: Robert Walker on May 11, 2024 I have always been a fan of Sci-Fi going back to the first Star Trek series in the 1960’s with Captain Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Sulu, Chekhov and of course, Uhura. As an African American child watching or reading about Sci-Fi fantasies, I was always naturally drawn to the Black characters in the comics, but few to none made it to film and television with the exception of the Black communications officer, Lt. Uhura, whose character inspired countless little black kids, especially little Black girls, to be so taken with the genre and with the prospects of Afrofuturistic stories. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the term “Afrofuturism” was introduced by scholar Mark Dery in 1993, as a way of defining existing trends that focused on Black literature and 1980s technoculture. For many of us who are not necessarily Sci-Fi comic book fans or Sci-Fi book readers, or part of the technoculture universe, the Afrofuturism (or Afrofuturistic) genre burst onto the American Pop scene with the release of the highly successful MCU film Black Panther in 2018. Now in 2024 from the mind of author Derrick Howard, comes an Afrofuturistic Sci-Fi thriller, Omnis: Last Man of Earth. Set on Intergalactic Independence Day (Earth) in the year 2050, Sledge, a reluctant, blind hero, is dragged, kicking, and screaming into a gallant struggle for survival as he tangles with celestials, transhumans, aliens, drones, and sentients in a race to save humankind.
