Nnedi Okorafor's story of Chioma, a young Nigerian-American woman
whose destiny is revealed during a furious rainstorm-now in
paperback, with bonus content including Q&As with the creative
team and never-before-seen art and designs! After the Rain is an
adaptation of Nnedi Okorafor's short story, "On the Road." The
adaptation, written by John Jennings and illustrated by David
Brame, begins in Nigeria during a powerful and unexpected storm.
While visiting her grandmother, a young Nigerian-American woman
named Chioma answers a knock at the door and is horrified by what
she sees-a young boy with a severe head wound is standing on the
doorstep. When he touches Chioma, his hand burns like fire and just
as suddenly as he arrived, he disappears. Her grandmother comes
down to see what is wrong and chastises Chioma for opening the door
for a stranger. Outside there are only footprints in the mud which
vanish in the same manner as their owner. This event sets off a
chain of mysterious occurrences that become more and more
terrifying. Chioma knows that something is wrong, and that the boy
has "marked" her in some way. . . . Haunted and hunted, Chioma must
embrace her heritage in order to survive.
