Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods

by Murewa Ayodele, Dotun Akande (Illustrator)

Overview

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 and Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Thor, rising stars Murewa Ayodele and Dotun Akande—the iron-forged, writer-artist team behind Marvel’s 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!

Witness a rage-fueled tale of bloody vengeance as Akogun seeks to avenge the tragic loss of everything he ever held dear. All that stands in his way is the disgraced, fallen god Ogun, who seeks to be restored to his former glory!

Collecting Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods #1–3.
