Called Niobe: She Is Life, the new comic centers on a young woman named Niobe who is "the would-be savior of the vast and volatile fantasy world of Asunda."

"I was drawn to give voice to Niobe and co-write her story because her journey is my journey," Stenberg told The Huffington Post. "I connect to her mixed racial background and quest to discover her innate powers and strengths, to learn who she truly is."
