Iyanu: Child of Wonder

In Iyanu: Child of Wonder (2021–present, Dark Horse), writer Roye Okupe and artist Godwin Akpan blend Yoruba mythology with a coming-of-age superhero story set in the magical land of Yorubaland. The series follows a young orphan who discovers she possesses extraordinary powers, drawing her into a hidden conflict against ancient, destructive forces. This four-issue debut, published under Dark Horse's YouNeek Studios imprint, stands out for its vibrant, culturally rooted world-building and its introduction of a fresh, West African-inspired pantheon to the comic landscape.
