EarthGang has never been content staying in one lane, and ‘Wheel of Fate’ makes that clearer than ever. The Grammy-nominated, ARIA Music Award-winning Atlanta duo has just launched their first comic project through Zero Zero Entertainment, and it hits differently than anything they’ve put out before. This isn’t a side project. It’s a full creative expansion, built from the same instincts that shaped ‘Mirrorland’ and ‘Ghetto Gods.’
Written by Olu and WowGr8 and illustrated by Julianne Grieppe and Alex Heywood, the story drops EarthGang into Tokyo, where a recording session inside a centuries-old temple pulls them toward something ancient and destabilizing. Reality fractures. A sentient AI, built from humanity’s worst impulses, has the cosmic Wheel of Fate in its grip. Their music becomes the weapon. Olu summed up the experience simply: “Man, this is the greatest animation storytelling we’ve been a part of.”
The visual language is sharp, the stakes are genuinely cosmic, and the Afrofuturist world-building is exactly what you’d expect from a duo who’ve spent nearly two decades building interconnected creative universes. The comic moves like one of their records, fluid, layered, and never quite where you expect it to land. It’s a genuinely exciting read for fans and new readers alike.
The release rolls out across several tiers. Issue #1 comes bundled with a patch and pin, a signed variant cover is limited to 500 copies, and a premium vinyl variant bundle caps at 150. A discounted four-issue subscription is also available for anyone following the full series. EarthGang are co-founders of Spillage Village alongside JID, Hollywood JB, JordxnBryant, 6lack, Mereba, and Benji, and ‘Wheel of Fate’ adds another dimension to one of hip-hop’s most ambitious creative collectives.
‘EARTHGANG: Wheel of Fate’ Issue #1 is out now through Zero Zero Entertainment. The merch drop is live and the limited runs won’t last.
