Comic Republic: Building Nigerian icons for a global audience through Comics

                         
What if you had someone watching the very move of our “heros”to ensure they are doing right by you? Someone just as tough... Someone who fights for all the right reasons? Such is the story of Jade Waziri in Comic Republic's new comic: Vanguards Rising. 

                                     
Comic Republic fondly called The Comic Republic of Nigeriaare the creators offree Nigerian super hero comics: #GuardianPrime#Avonome#Eru#Aje#Ireti and #HeroGeneration designed to tell stories of our current realities.

In Vanguards rising, you get to meet Jade Waziria Commander in Chief who now watches the activities of the “heros” and this terrifies them. This fictional character even goes ahead to join them on Facebook and Instagram!
