Black AF: Widows and Orphans #1 – Wraparound Cover – 2018 opens a bold and provocative new chapter in the Black AF universe, written by the acclaimed Kwanza Osajyefo with striking artwork by Tim Smith 3. This issue introduces a gripping standalone story that expands the mythos, diving headfirst into the moral complexities surrounding powered individuals in a world deeply divided by race and privilege.

The narrative centres on Anansi, a government-backed operative tasked with confronting and dismantling rogue metahuman operations overseas. When a mission in South Sudan uncovers a dark, exploitative ring trafficking empowered children, Anansi is forced to question the very institution he serves. What begins as a tactical takedown spirals into an ethical reckoning that blends superhero action with real-world issues rarely addressed in mainstream comics.

Osajyefo continues to push boundaries with layered storytelling that doesn’t flinch, while Smith’s raw, kinetic illustrations underscore the intensity and urgency of each scene. The wraparound cover edition adds even more visual punch, making this a standout issue for collectors and new readers alike.

This is more than a superhero story—it’s a commentary on global injustice and the weaponisation of identity, all told through a tightly written, emotionally resonant lens. Fans of socially charged, indie graphic storytelling will find this issue both timely and powerful.
