🌈READ ACADEMIA ALTAGRACIA ON TUMBLR NOW! 🌀

Now also on PATREON!

Academia Altagracia is a magitech/scifantasy webcomic following a co-ed school and its eccentric staff. In charge of it is Principal Efraín, a hi-tech stone robot, the only one of her kind. A strict and workaholic yet caring matron, who knows too much about the dangers of this world. Her recent newest hire is art teacher Professor Keshet: a cheerful human woman, who has the magic ability to create acrylic paint out of thin air.

Her arrival creates a crack in the school staff's routine - because despite everything, Keshet wants to believe that things can turn out alright.

If you adore the nostalgic aesthetic of 80s-90s cartoons, like whimsical cartoony characters, colorful worlds and emotional plots spiced with crazy humor, and lesbian robot x human romance... THEN CHECK IT OUT! (Disclaimer: occassional darker themes about trauma and mental health, drug use, slight suggestive content. Target audience is adults)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I am Levi (he/him), a 3D animator and comic artist. I am mixed and half Nicaráguan - and yes, this comic heavily features Nica culture based on both my own and my family's experiences :] I am also a polyamorous sapphic butch!

🖤🤍 Careem "Khalil" Kanaan by our talented collaborator @jesncin for the @sonofalkhalilzine 💚❤️

hard to summarize 150+ pages of worldbuilding in one post, but here’s the core of my Superman reinterpretation:

this is not just “Superman but in Palestine.”

the project exists to re-center what Superman actually means by placing him somewhere where oppression is not abstract, neutrality is not an option and doing good has real consequences

if Superman is supposed to represent hope, protection, and moral clarity, then i wanted to ask:

what happens when those ideals exist inside systems built around occupation, surveillance, displacement, and narrative control?

“The Last Son of Krypton is also the son of the holiest of lands.”

Khalil is Palestinian–Kryptonian and raised in Al-Khalil, Palestine. He was raised by a Palestinian family after the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre, grew up through the Second Intifada and the partition of Al-Khalil, and first became Superboy in response to the intensifying blockade on Gaza.

his relationship to Palestine isn’t symbolic. it’s lived.

the core contradiction of the story is that he has the power to save people in moments, but not the power to dismantle the systems hurting them overnight.

every intervention has consequences. every act of protection creates escalation. visibility itself becomes dangerous.

so the story stops being: “is Superman good?”

and becomes: how does someone stay good in a world that punishes people for protecting others?

a huge part of the project is also about belonging.

Khalil belongs through love, language, memory, and lived experience. His relationship to homeland is emotional, cultural, and lived.

Mama Mariam tells him: “Resistance, habibi. It’s fertile. Like the soil of your homeland.”

a lot of the emotional core of the project comes from the fact that Khalil was not raised by people who taught him power mattered more than humanity.

he was raised by people who taught him dignity, care, homeland, and responsibility.

the project is heavily focused on:

protection vs consequences

truth vs narrative control

survival vs dignity

resistance vs assimilation

hope as an active choice rather than passive optimism

another major character is Layla Loai, a Lebanese-American investigative journalist who moves to Al-Khalil as a correspondent.

where Khalil’s conflict is: “how do i protect people without making things worse?”

Layla’s conflict is: “what happens if the truth stays hidden?”

she believes silence protects systems more than people.

one of my favorite things about Layla is that she isn’t written as “the journalist love interest.” she’s someone whose worldview is built around the belief that if truth is buried, harm continues unchecked.

she lost her sense of permanence very young, grew up Arab in post-9/11 America, and became someone who refuses imposed narratives even when the truth isolates her from others.

where Khalil fears the consequences of visibility, Layla fears what happens when people look away.

a lot of her storyline deals with visibility vs safety, diaspora and belonging, as well as grief and disconnection

truth as responsibility rather than neutrality

one of the things i care about most in this project is that the people around Khalil are not props for his story. they embody different responses to systems of control, survival, fear, and resistance.

i also spent a ridiculous amount of time building the systems, symbolism, relationship architecture, and political logic of the world because i wanted it to feel structurally coherent rather than aesthetic.

||UPDATES||

Well, I wanted to share a few things with you guys!! :D

First, I've been busy studying for some tests I'm taking in a few days lately, but after those tests are over, I'll finally be working on the official Sunlight Force comic. By the end of this year, I promise the first chapter will be ready!! (Being very very optimistic, maybe two chapters?)

Another thing, I'm going to make another intro, since the other one doesn't look so good... Here's the previous intro if you want to check it out.

I'm also going to make another Sunlight Force masterpost, but I'd like your help... Like, send me questions, things you want to know about the SF story/universe, please. Lately, I've been doing everything I can to make it more interesting. I try to make the drawings more detailed, and I think you've noticed that I'm doing more digital art than before?

I love my project and I wanted this to be interesting for you too🥺❤️

Feel free to send me questions about SF and I'll try to answer them all in the masterpost I'll make.

You can also tell me if you'd like me to do something different from what I'm doing, like if I'm doing something wrong or annoying, please let me know...

So, going back to the first topic, since I'll be working more on the comic, I probably won't post as many varied things as I usually do. Of course, I'll still be here and interacting normally. I still have some drawings and animations to finish (looking directly at you @lucytsukii (*｀▽´*)✨️)

So, I hope you all enjoy what I'm trying to do...
