South Africa-born actress Thuso Mbedu is making waves as she partners with Stranger Comics to write a new tale in its world of Asunda.
According to i09, Mbedu will co-write Niobe: She-Tribe with the Stranger Comics president Sebastian A. Jones.
Co-writer of the comic said upon meeting Mbedu he knew he had to work with her because of her honesty and her modesty towards the telling of relatable stories.
“When we started brainstorming for the She-Tribe comic, Thuso breathed new life into Niobe and the vulnerable character relationships with such thought and care. Thuso is a rare spirit who speaks of many lives lived, here and before, and I couldn’t be more excited to share with our fans what we’ve got in store for Niobe and Asunda,” said Jones in a statement.
Niobe follows Tales of Asunda’s lead character the titular Niobe, who finds herself thrust into an ethical conflict when she encounters a tribal society that selects its new leader in a fight to the death.
The titular Niobe finds herself up against generations of traditional customs or facing the idea of keeping herself hidden away from the world of Asunda.
Niobe: She-Tribe will be released next year.
