An action-packed Afrofuturist epic graphic novel about love of family, the brutality of war, and finding strength and power even in the toughest of circumstances.

In the land of the pyramid sun, Ndawo, a single step for the Badimu (Gods) is a thousand Muntu (human) lifetimes. And in the war of the Badimu, from the smallest cut shall flow rivers of Muntu blood…endless rivers of blood.

The war among the Badimu cast a darkness over Ndawo—a darkness that birthed genocide and war among the Muntu. And now, a thousand years later, Ndawo remains divided into several empires. As the brutal Muntu war reaches bloody crescendo, numerous young girls mysteriously go missing from their villages, leaving behind only a trail of carnage in their wake.

Praise for Imbokodo

“When Thabo and Thabiso from Nguniverse Studios first brought us this idea, we were so impressed with the epic scope and emotional depth of this world they created with such incredibly powerful female African warriors at the center. We knew we found a perfect home in Dark Horse when they saw the same potential in Thabo and Thabiso’s unique and special vision. As our company’s first foray into the publishing space, we couldn’t have asked for better creative partners than Thabo and Thabiso, and we can’t wait for the world to meet the indomitable warrior women of the Imbokodo.”—Charlize Theron
