Rise of the Mafu #1 is out in the world. Today. Right now.

What began as a story is now movement, sound and presence, passed from hand to hand. This reel captures that energy. Action, music and people carrying the book through Comic Con and beyond. The Mafu Universe is no longer just imagined. It’s lived.

From today, the story is available to everyone.
Want it physical? We ship worldwide, wherever you are.
Prefer digital? The full story lives on your screen, ready when you are.

This release is a milestone we celebrate with our community, the people who carried this story long before release day.

The wait is officially OVER and we can finally say it out loud:
Rise of the Mafu #1 has arrived. Fresh from the printer. Unboxed. Real. In our hands at last, after living in our minds and on our screens for so long.

The first stack looks absolutely insane: deep blacks, textures and tones exactly how we envisioned them. But what hits even harder is the feeling behind it. After months of production, fine-tuning, approvals, setbacks and late-night decisions, holding this book makes every part of the journey worth it. Seeing this become reality truly hits different.

To all our Day Ones, First Backers and early supporters: this moment is yours too. You believed in this story before you could hold it. Thank you for carrying us here.

We are now in full packing and fulfillment mode, getting every copy ready to ship straight from us to you.

🚀 Release Date: December 15
Mark it. Bookmark it. Celebrate it. The Mafu enters the world on this day for all of us.

“Black Joy is the highest form of revolution.

During the SHARED HISTORY OF THE WORLD – 1st Global Afrofuturistic Conference in Amsterdam, Yvonne Apiyo Brändle-Amolo reminded us:
‘It’s the best thing you can give the enemy when they want to kill you.’

Black Joy is not just survival - it’s creation, resilience, and celebration.
👉🏾 What does Black Joy mean to you?”
