AFAR is a coming-of age fantasy tale about two siblings. Boetema can astrally project, and her brother, Inotu, is forced to grow up when their reckless parents leave to work as salt shepherds. Boetema is tasked with figuring out why she dreams she's in other people's bodies, and in doing so, makes matters worse on a planet hundreds of light years away. Inotu struggles to become a confident and supportive brother while they've been left alone by their parents. Poor, sleep-deprived, and on the run from a cyborg, the siblings work together to overcome their own personal obstacles, making their way across the desert to the thriving metropolis, Yopan.

Review
siblings try to survive in a punishing desert culture. With her head in the stars, Boetema finds it more and more stressful to take care of her brother while also intermingling her consciousness with alien cultures halfway across the universe. It's a perfect read for those kids who are perennially daydreaming, because it's a story about what you can do when you allow your mind to wander.
BOOK RIOT -- My biggest quibble with Afar is that there's not enough of it.
AV CLUB -- This is a comic that takes full advantage of the medium's creative possibilities to craft an emotional, invigorating story, and it would be wonderful if the industry embraced it and opened the door for more original graphic novels executed with this level of care and ambition.
NPR -- Del Duca determinedly keeps her characters down-to-earth and her story small - universe-spanning though it is. ... And it works.
