Malika: Fire and Frost #1 – Free Comic Book Day 2019 is another striking chapter in the YouNeek YouNiverse, bringing together African-inspired fantasy, political drama, and high-powered heroism in one unforgettable issue. Created by Roye Okupe and beautifully illustrated by Godwin Akpan, this special edition is both a compelling standalone tale and a powerful continuation of the legacy of Malika, West Africa’s fearless warrior queen.

Set in a richly imagined historical world filled with kingdoms, warlords, and hidden magic, this story pits Malika against a mysterious and formidable new force. As tensions rise between the Kingdom of Azzaz and the ominous Frost Guard, Malika must navigate not only the battlefield, but the politics and power plays that surround her. This issue offers a layered, emotionally resonant story that blends fantasy and history with cinematic action and depth.

Okupe’s storytelling is full of nuance, showcasing themes of honour, leadership, and sacrifice. The artwork from Akpan is stunning—pages are filled with expressive characters, sweeping action scenes, and environments that are both grounded and fantastical. The vivid colours and dynamic layouts help elevate every moment, drawing the reader into a universe unlike any other in comics today.
