The wait is finally over! Nigerian comic book mogul and storyteller, Ayodele Elegba, has just announced that his long-anticipated fantasy novel, BLOOD WARS, will officially debut at the upcoming Comic Con on September 13th.
But that’s not all, Elegba also revealed that every fan who preorders the book online will receive a signed copy, making this release an even hotter ticket for lovers of epic fantasy.
The 250-page novel introduces readers to Jubah, a character caught between worlds as part-god and part-man, battling not just enemies but also the mystery of his own identity. The story promises a sweeping tale of destiny, loyalty, and betrayal set against the backdrop of a world tearing itself apart.
Described by early readers as the “Game of Thrones of Nigerian literature”, Blood Wars blends rich world-building with explosive drama, setting a new benchmark for homegrown fantasy epics.
Elegba, who is widely recognized as the founder of Lagos Comic Con and a pioneer in Nigeria’s comic industry, is now aiming to extend his storytelling legacy beyond panels and into the realm of fantasy novels.
Fans attending Lagos Comic Con should brace themselves for an unforgettable launch, and maybe even walk away with the most talked-about book in African fantasy this year.
Preorders are open now. Signed copies await the fastest fingers.
