Imbokodo (2024)

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.

Lieutenant Manthatisi, the Nameless Warrior, and a team of Imboko join Chief Moshe and set sail for Thaba N’chu. With war on the horizon, and the land teeming with refugees, will they find answers to the missing girls? Are Emperor Mbande and the Ngola behind the carnage and kidnapping—or are there other forces at play? • Adds to the greatly needed representation of black heroes in the world of comics and fantasy. • Four issue series.

The brutality encountered in Thaba N’chu was beyond anything the Imbokodo have faced before. Only one girl remained alive—her tongue ripped from her head. Queen Nyameka, Lieutenant Manthatisi, and the Nameless Warrior have many questions for the tongueless girl, but in order to find answers they will have to seek guidance from the dead . . . • Detailed world building, compelling storytelling, and dynamic art! • Four issue series.

The nameless warrior is revealed and Manthatisi is left feeling betrayed. In this series finale, when an important clue leads the now-broken team to the city of Khethakoni, will they have the strength-and the faith in one another-to face the enemy behind the attacks?
