Murewa Ayodele● Active

Murewa Ayodele, born 15 June 1994 in Nigeria, is a comics writer who has made a notable leap from small-press work to major assignments at Marvel Comics. He is best known for his collaborations with Nigerian artist Dotun Akande, with whom he co-founded Collectible Comics NG, a Nigerian comic book studio. Their early independent project, *New Men*, earned a Nommo Award nomination for Best Graphic Novel, bringing attention to their storytelling within the African speculative fiction community.

Ayodele’s path into comics began with this grassroots publishing effort, and his partnership with Akande has remained a defining creative throughline. At Marvel, he has written several titles centered on Storm, including *Storm: Earth’s Mightiest Mutant*, *Storm*, and *Rogue Storm*, as well as contributions to *I Am Iron Man* and the *X-Manhunt Omega* event. His work often blends superhero action with a perspective rooted in his Nigerian heritage, offering fresh takes on established characters.

Ayodele is still in the early stages of his career, with his Marvel credits spanning 2023 to 2026. His trajectory—from co-founding a Nigerian studio to scripting major X-Men storylines—marks him as a rising voice in mainstream comics, carrying forward the collaborative spirit and cultural specificity that first defined his work.
