Nubia: Real One

A powerful, standalone graphic novel from DC, Nubia: Real One reimagines the Amazonian warrior as a modern-day Black teenager grappling with super-strength and a secret identity. Written by L. L. McKinney with art by Robyn Smith, this 2021 release grounds Nubia’s mythic origins in the very real pressures of family, friendship, and social justice. It’s a thoughtful, character-driven story that expands the Wonder Woman mythos with a fresh, contemporary voice.
