INANNA VOL. 1: THE NAME SHE LOST

From writer, director, and actress, Inanna Sarkis, and Eisner-nominated and New York Times bestselling writer Tim Seeley, with art by Ademir Leal, comes a modern reimagining of the ancient Assyrian goddess of love and war. Once the home of the love and peace movement, San Francisco is now a city at war with itself. Mayor and presidential hopeful Tim Teller promises to fix the problems, but he has a new issue. On a brisk September evening, Inanna emerges from the Bay, wearing nothing but a lapis necklace. She remembers little save her name…and that she’s pissed. Possessed of immense strength and unwavering charisma, Inanna becomes a champion of the people. But her immortal life as a goddess of love and war is coming back to haunt her. Ancient myths and modern enemies collide as love and war clash in a battle for the soul of humanity—and Inanna herself.
