Issue 1 presents the origin of the White Princess of the Jungle, Taanda.[2]

The comic has been cited as an example of paternalistic white savior narratives, describing a story in which "'fierce fighters' who were 'such simple children' begged the forgiveness of white Princess Taanda for having been hoodwinked by an unscrupulous white man who paraded as their god and had them doing vile things."[3]
