Bronze Faces
BOOM! Studios · Co-created & written with Shof Coker · Art by Alexandre Tefenkgi
Bronze Faces is a Nigerian fantasy-heist series about three childhood friends — once thieves on the streets of Lagos — who reunite as adults to reclaim looted Benin Bronzes from museums across the West.
Built around the long history of colonial theft from the Kingdom of Benin and the spiritual logic of the bronzes themselves. Each museum job comes with its own crew, its own moral weight, and its own ghost from the past. Family debts. Lost faith. The cost of becoming what you stole from.
“The nonlinear timeline, fraught team dynamics, and scandal-ridden detective hot on their trail add flavor to this Robin Hood–esque adventure.”

New Masters
Image Comics · Co-created & written with Shof Coker
A future-Lagos science fiction series set under alien colonial occupation. The story follows a family caught between collaboration, resistance, and survival as Earth's resources are extracted by powers no one chose to live under.
New Masters takes the long history of colonial extraction and projects it forward: what does occupation look like when the occupiers are not human, when the city continues anyway, when ordinary people have to live and work and raise children inside a world that wasn't built for them?
“The Shobo Coker script delivers a mountain of important info, said and implied, offering deft and subtle parallels of the current post-colonial state in much of the world. ”

Buckhead
BOOM! Studios · Co-created with George Kambadais (artist)
A supernatural techno-thriller about migration, belonging, and the hidden systems of power running underneath a too-perfect suburban town. A Nigerian-American teenager moves with his family and starts to see what the adults around him refuse to.
Written for a younger readership without flattening the emotional or political stakes. Yoruba-rooted speculative elements thread through a contemporary mystery structure.
“I love the tension throughout the story and the brilliant way Shobo is able to capture the imagination of the reader with the themes and characters”
