Windmaker: Birth of a King

In the near-future African kingdom of Oyo, Windmaker: Birth of a King (2018–present, Youneek Studios) launches a bold new mythos, written by Roye Okupe and illustrated by Sunkanmi Akinboye. This debut issue introduces a young man destined for a throne he never sought, his path shadowed by an ancient, elemental power that could save or shatter his people. A striking entry in the Youneek Universe, it matters for its fusion of African futurism with superhero spectacle, offering a fresh origin story rooted in culture and consequence.
