Odetari Teams Up with Zero Zero Entertainment for New Comic Book Project
In a significant crossover of the music and comic book industries, artist and producer Odetari (Taha Othman Ahmad) has announced a partnership with Zero Zero Entertainment to launch a new comic series titled Odetari: The Hidden Gate. This venture exemplifies Odetari’s innovative approach to storytelling and artistic expression beyond music.
A New Fantasy Adventure
Odetari: The Hidden Gate is set in a richly imagined fantasy world where societal norms dictate every action. The narrative follows a mid-level enforcer who uncovers a hidden truth that challenges the rigid control of his society. As he confronts the very system he once served, he embarks on a perilous journey through volcanic ruins, jungle temples, and sky-bound cities, searching for ancient keys that hold deeper revelations.
The comic tackles themes of sacrifice, awakening, and the complexity of choosing freedom over safety. It encapsulates not just an adventure story but also a personal journey of questioning and exploring reality, making it relatable to those who have ever pondered their place in the world.
Creative Team and Release Details
The comic is co-written by Odetari and Josh Frankel, with visual artistry by Rosi Kampe, dialogue crafted by Tres Dean, and coloring by Vladimir Popov. Frankel, also a co-founder of Zero Zero Entertainment, brings a wealth of experience to the project. The comics will feature two art prints that have yet to be revealed, enhancing the collectible aspect of the first issue.
In total, 621 signed editions will be available for $49.99, alongside 2,500 standard issues to cater to fans and collectors alike.
