Posted on by

Dark Horse and YouNeek Studios are back with an all new epic science fantasy adventure in The Asiri Volume 1. This brand-new space saga is by the talented team of Nigerian creators at YouNeek Studios. The 128-page graphic novel features writing by YouNeek founder Roye Okupe, interior art by Samuel Iwunze, colors by Toyin Ajetunmobi, letters by Spoof Animation, and cover art by Sunkanmi Akinboye and Etubi Onucheyo.

The Asiri Volume 1 begins an epic science fantasy about an ancient, advanced West African civilization of space explorers that once colonized Mars and strove for galactic stability. Enhanced by an inner power called “Inkra,” the Asiri can manipulate technology in ways never seen. However, their golden age comes to a devastating halt after a mysterious enemy invades from deep space. Now, a once-thriving civilization is thrust into chaos as loyalty quickly becomes a liability. A story that’s X-Men meets Attack on Titan (infused with a heavy dose of West African mythology) from the creators at YouNeek Studios!

The Asiri Volume 1 trade paperback will be available in bookstores March 5, 2024 and in comic shops March 6, 2024. The 128-page graphic novel measures 6.625×10.1875”. It is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and at your local comic shop and bookstore and will retail for $19.99.

Dark Horse Books and YouNeek Studios team up once again to present an epic YouNiverse crossover in The Oloris: Heroes Will Unite Volume 1! The continent of Africa becomes ground zero for a devastating extraterrestrial invasion from the Moon, forcing a group of heroes to band together in this new graphic novel from the massively talented team of Nigerian creators at YouNeek Studios. The newest graphic novel in the YouNeek line is written by Roye Okupe, with interior art and cover art by Sunkanmi Akinboye, colors by Etubi Onucheyo, and lettering by Spoof Animation.

The heroes from across YouNeek Studios’ different titles unite for the first time in this epic crossover event! When an unknown anarchist unleashes an army of extraterrestrial androids on the continent of Africa, Malika—legendary warrior queen of the 15th-century West African Empire, Azzaz—must put together a team of “unlike-minded” heroes to respond before it’s too late. Featuring appearances from other YouNeek YouNiverse heroes like EXO, Fury, and WindMaker, several YouNeek storylines finally converge. 

Dark Horse and YouNeek Studios continue to present stories in a shared universe of African fantasy and superhero tales—the YouNeek YouNiverse!
