Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods #2 (2024)

Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods #1

In an age thought forgotten . . . when man, monster, and the divine all strode the Earth . . . a lone warrior emerges to test the immortality of the cruel gods who would deal destruction with impunity . . .  He is a one-man reckoning that stands in defiance of his divine masters with a sword in hand and a thirst for godblood. His name: AKOGUN THE BRUTALIZER!

In the tradition of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Thor, and the best-selling God of War franchise, superstars Murewa Ayodele and Dotun Akande—the creative duo behind I Am Iron Man and Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood—usher in a new epoch of African dark fantasy on the ancient continent of Alkebulan with a mythic cycle of cosmic destiny and unrelenting warfare colliding man against god . . . and blade against blade!

Told across three powerful oversize chapters, steady your mind and spirit for a glorious new comics milestone revealing the fabled origin and battle-tested fury of . . . Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods!

Writer: Murewa Ayodele

Artist: Dotun Akande

Long ago... when the world was bigger, and mankind smaller, a hunter named Akogun wanders the Savannah in search of revenge against the gods themselves. But the gods have their own schemes in play, wheels upon wheels of revenge and war...

This is very fun and I would recommend it, with some caveats. I thought this was going to be a 3-issue story about bloody revenge against the heavens, and there is some of that here, but it's also the first episode in what's planned to be a series. What I got was very fun, using African folklore to lay the foundation of the story and play with the powers in a way that feels modern.
