New Men #1, Leap of Faith by Murewa Ayodele and Dotun Akande takes a gamble in how supers are created. Warning: Major spoilers ahead. New Men is the latest comic release from Nigerian publisher, Collectible Comics. New Men Story in a Nutshell (Spoiler) New Men begins with the story of a teenage girl, the lover
I’ve been a fan of Aje since its very first issue. My love for the title has grown exponentially. The most recent issue was quite impressive to say the least. The art, though spectacular, took me a while to get used to but that ceases to be an issue once you dive into the plot.
Have you watched Black Panther? It is hands down, the biggest movie release of 2018; so far!

I’ve always been a big fan of Newborn Saga. The talents at Peda Studios make true on their promise to showcase Africa in her former majesty and glory!

Vortex Comics are serious about exporting African culture though comics. It’s not hard to see why following the release of Eternals, the newest title in their repertoire. The first issue of Eternals is a soup of Egyptian, Malian, Nigerian and Ghanaian myths. It features Anubis, Dongon (as a deity), Sango, and several gods divided into
The first thing that sucks you into the world of Visionary: Ascension is the art. The art is magnificent; the lines are crisp and the colours are joyously precise.
