Yasha

In 2023, Panini Deutschland launched Yasha, a six-issue German comic series that reimagines Slavic folklore through a modern, dark fantasy lens. The series follows a young woman named Yasha, who is drawn into a hidden world of ancient spirits and dangerous magic after a mysterious encounter. Written by creator and artist Thomas von Kummant, known for his work on The Walking Dead and Judge Dredd, Yasha stands out for its lush, atmospheric artwork and its nuanced exploration of identity and heritage. Though brief, the series earned critical praise for its ambitious world-building and emotional depth, marking a notable addition to Panini’s original graphic novel lineup.
