IYANU FACES HER DESTINY IN “IYANU: CHILD OF WONDER” VOLUME 4
Dark Horse Books and YouNeek Studios present Iyanu: Child of Wonder Volume 4, continuing the epic fantasy saga. This new volume expands the lore of African fantasy and superhero stories from the shared YouNeek YouNiverse. Iyanu: Child of Wonder Volume 4 is written by Roye Okupe, illustrated by Sunkanmi Akinboye, colored by Toyin Ajetunmobi, lettered by Spoof Animation, with cover art by Akinboye and cover art colors by Godwin Akpan. The epic graphic novel saga of Iyanu is now set to be an animated series, coming soon to HBO MAX/Cartoon Network.
In this series suited for readers age 12 and up, Iyanu must face her destiny and save all of Yorubaland with help from her friends. Among them are Biyi, a carefree adventurer; Toye, the bookworm; and Ekun, the magical and opinionated giant leopard. Together, all four, known as Team Chosen, will embark on an epic adventure full of twists, turns, and laughter that will change their lives forever!
“This graphic novel isn’t just our best work in the Iyanu series but our best work, period,” says writer Roye Okupe. “I can’t wait for people to see the conclusion to the first arc (don’t worry, there are plenty more Iyanu arcs to come) in the Iyanu series—The Journey to The Source. And, oh yeah, this would be a perfect primer before the show airs on Cartoon Network/Max.”
Iyanu: Child of Wonder Volume 4 (152 pages, 6.625 x 10.1875”, paperback) will be available in bookstores on March 4, 2025, and in comic shops on March 5, 2025. The book is available for pre-order now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, TFAW, and wherever books and comics are sold. It will retail for $19.99.
