About the series
In Wayward (2014–2018, Image Comics), writer Jim Zub and artist Steven Cummings crafted a 30-issue supernatural action series that blends Japanese folklore with a modern teen drama. When a troubled Irish-Japanese high schooler moves to Tokyo, she discovers her own burgeoning powers and a hidden world of yokai, spirits, and ancient conflict. The series stands out for its vibrant, manga-influenced visuals and its thoughtful, character-driven exploration of identity and cultural heritage within a sprawling urban fantasy epic.
