Thuso Mbedu has co-authored a one-shot comic titled “Niobe: She Tribe” along with Stranger Comics’ president Sebastian A. Jones. Interior art has been beautifully done by Caanan White with Darrell May on layouts and Blond on colors. It is part of Stranger’s Tales of Asunda series featuring Niobe, the franchise’s star character.
The world of Asunda series is known within the comic industry as a beautiful and groundbreaking fantasy universe that celebrates a ceremony of Black culture with tales that reflect the human spirit.
The latest journey for Niobe is no different!
TALES OF ASUNDA, NIOBE: SHE TRIBE
When Niobe learns of a tradition that a tribal chief is decided in a fight to the death she must choose between challenging and changing an ancient custom or remaining hidden from the world and her destiny.
Niobe has always been a role model in the comic industry and has attracted some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. NIOBE: She is Life, her solo title, was the first nationally distributed comic with a Black female author (Amandla Stenberg, who is starring in The Acolyte, who penned the title with Jones), artist (Ashley A. Woods), and hero in history. BGN’s Jamie Broadnax wrote the foreword, as well as Viola Davis, who starred in The Woman King, playing Mbedu’s mother. And now, Thuso Mbedu is penning the world of Asunda’s star character alongside Jones. It must also be mentioned that Mbedu’s role in the Barry Jenkins classic Underground Railroad showed her to be a generational talent. Plus, for anime fans you can hear her as Annette in Castlevania!
