Barstow #1-3 (2024-2025)

In the land of the pyramid sun, a single step of the Badimu is a thousand Muntu life times. This is the land of NDAWO, home to the first Muntu. A thousand years after the great war between the Badimu that brought darkness to the land and birthed a new kind of Muntu - one that wants, owns, and is never sated - Ndawo remains divided. And recently, numerous young girls have gone missing from their villages, a trail of carnage left in their wake. In the empire of Monomotapa, Queen Nyameka commands the greatest warriors in all of Ndawo, the IMBOKODO. Here, a nameless woman will fight to secure her place amongst the Imbokodo - to stand for the Queen, the Empire, and for the freedom of all Muntu. • Adds to the greatly needed representation of Black heroes in the world of comics and fantasy. • Afrofuturism at its best.
