Featured on CNN, The Guardian, NBC & more, E.X.O. The Legend of Wale Williams Part Two is a sci fi, superhero graphic novel about redemption, set in a futuristic 2025 Africa. Part Two continues to chronicle the journey of Wale Williams a.k.a EXO, who was last seen hanging on for dear life after his first encounter with the incredibly powerful and sinister Oniku, leader of the extremist group, The CREED. After his shocking revelation, Oniku now has all he needs to launch a crippling attack at the heart of Lagoon City, an attack that would be felt across the entire nation of Nigeria. Can Wale finally become the hero he has always avoided but was always meant to be in time to stop the inevitable? And what role does the wild card Fury play in Lagoon City s uprising? Only time will tell. This graphic novel's story takes place in the same universe (the YouNeek YouNiverse - A universe of African science fiction, fantasy and superhero stories) as the Malika comic book series.

About this title

About the Author:

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Roye Okupe is a veteran creative specialist who holds both a Bachelor s and Master s in computer science from The George Washington University. His passion for animation led him to found YouNeek Studios in 2012, an avenue that would allow him pursue his dream of creating a diverse library of superheroes. Under that umbrella, Roye wrote and produced several animated productions including, but not limited to, 2D/3D animated short films, TV commercials, show openers, music videos and much more. Roye is no stranger to wearing multiple hats. He was part of a team (as a producer, assistant director and editor) of filmmakers who retold the Biblical story of King David in a contemporary movie titled D Comeback, which premiered in the US in March 2010. With the superhero genre currently at the height of popularity, Roye has made it a goal to create a connected universe of heroes, with origins from locations that are currently neglected and/or ignored. In April 2015, Roye released chapter 1 of his debut, superhero graphic novel titled: E.X.O. The Legend of Wale Williams, a superhero story set in a futuristic Nigeria. E.X.O. was received with critical acclaim and has since been featured on CNN, Forbes, New York Times, NBC, The Guardian, BBC, The Huffington Post, Mashabe and more!

Review:

Bout time! --Jamie Foxx

Fans of comic books, graphic novels, & animation no longer have to look beyond the shores of the continent (Africa) for superhero characters that they can idolize. Rather they can look to E.X.O. --#5 of 42 African Innovators to Watch (Ventures Africa)

To be commended for producing such an exciting page-turner and for breaking new ground. --Brittle Paper
