Malika: Warrior Queen

Set in a fantastical reimagining of 15th-century West Africa, Malika: Warrior Queen follows the legendary Queen Malika as she defends her kingdom from both supernatural threats and political intrigue. Published by Dark Horse and written by Roye Okupe with art by Chima Kalu, this 2021 series expands the mythic world of the YouNeek YouNiverse. Its two issues offer a compact, visually striking introduction to a powerful heroine navigating the brutal demands of leadership and war.
