By THE HIGH CHANCELLOR: Hadiyah
Help Us! Great Warrior, by Madeleine Flores
The second in our catalogue of Muslim girls in comics is another from indie press Boom! Box, featuring another badass, complex weirdo who isn’t defined by her hijab or her skin color. Madeleine Flores’ Help Us! Great Warrior is a cute, funny and bright all-ages comic about the incomparable Great Warrior (a blobby green demonslayer who loves pizza and cute boys) and her best friend Leo (a mace-wielding pink haired heroine making a name for herself) fighting demons at the behest of Hadiyah, the High Chancellor.
Hadiyah is a supremely powerful being with the ability to project images, teleport people and objects, and create shields to protect others. She has very soft hands, and HATES demons.
Help Us! Great Warrior is light on dialogue, but Flores’ manages to create unique and dynamic characters in the six-issue arc. The collected trade paperback featuring all six issues is available for purchase now.
