the first issue of which debuted in November, with a second on the way. “I am a huge fan of fantasy and when I was younger, all I did was read fantasy books,” she says of the inspiration behind the series. “I wanted to create something like that except I wanted a black female character as the lead. I think fantasy captures this theme that I’m obsessed with, which is just this dark magic.” ’s clever Instagram layout reveals what the character’s individual letter assignments spell: ‘Liars.’ Amandla was drawn to Sarah because, “I recognized her experience as a black girl in a primarily white environment, but also I was really drawn to the script and the director. Miles is really an incredible person. He’s really passionate about filmmaking and telling these really sincere, genuine stories. I feel like his way of looking at film is really beautiful and I was super inspired by it.” I would like to point out that it is very important and appreciative to see the Asian-American community representation in this series. I hope to see more POC representation in the future as it is very important for individuals to see people like them on screen. To all of the incredible fans, I would like to thank you all, because it is your love and support that helped Lucas and the rest of these amazing characters have the impact they have today. You guys are amazing. The cast and I couldn’t have done any of this without you all. THANK YOU!
