TOP 5 FICTIONAL AFRICAN LOCATIONS

I like to think that Africa has been well represented in the real world but unfortunately this has not been the case; luckily, in the realm of fiction, African has been a constant source of great stories and locales. Here are my "Top 5 Fictional African Locations".

AFRICOMICS: VIXEN

If you guys can't tell by now, I really love comic books and finding ones that have characters from Africa are always especially enjoyable. DC comics has a

AFRIFRANT: THE BLACK PANTHER

AFRICOMIC: AYA

AYA is a graphic novel series created by Marguerite Abouet, an Ivory Coast native. The comic takes place in the Ivory Coast in 1978 and centers around 19 year-old, Aya, and her interactions with people.

Shango, the African God of Thunder and Lightning, is worshiped by the Yoruba in West Africa. He was created from the union of two men: the physical manifestation of the god of reason Obtala, and Aganju, the god of fire. His godly lineage gives him great physical strength and the ability to conjure a lightning bolt at will.

Batwing is a recent addition to the the legendary DC Comics.

He later becomes a police officer and fights the criminals that plague his city, as well as  corrupt policemen.

When you think of the word “Africa“ do you think of superheroes? The answer is most likely no, but you have heard of at least one African superhero, Ororo Munroe, but you probably know her better as "Storm". Making her first appearance in “Giant-Size X-Men “#1 in 1975, Storm was born in New York City to a Kenyan tribal princess and an American photographer. After the tragic death of her parents, an orphaned Storm wandered around the streets of Cairo until a chance meeting with Professor Charles Xavier led to her joining the X-men.
