Editorial Reviews

Not content with leaving the void of African-American characters in comics to be filled by the mainstream, Jiba Anderson didn't just create a team of African-American superheroes (The Horsemen)–he created Griot Enterprises to bring them and other characters of color to readers himself. A grand, mature scale seems to be the common thread in this work. In scope, The Horsemen reminds me of Grant Morrison's and Warren Ellis' team-based work. Very global.
