Esu: The Most Misunderstood Entity in the Universe is a masterwork. Wondrously written and illustrated by Darren Lopez and Eddaviel, this immersive work eloquently colors the many shades of the great Yoruba orisha, Esu. One of the more revered and sometimes feared orishas in the pantheon, Lopez and Eddaviel artfully illustrate how this swank trickster of the crossroads, whose powers have captivated West Africa and the Americas, is here to help us be our better selves. Shared simply, artfully, with Esu's trademark humor and irony, this amalgamation of stories and morality tales are ideal for the newcomer and the elder alike.-Ytasha L.

Forma creativa y distinta para sumergirse en el conocimiento de Orisa y tradiciĆ³n Yoruba. Definitivamente, este libro es una experiencia.- Amazon Review
I absolutely loved reading this! The illustrations are really well done, and are the perfect complement to bringing the stories shared in the book to life. As someone who is a bit familiar with Yoruba folklore, the tales told here bring such a refreshing take, and do a great job at translating deep texts and profound life lessons in simple and easy to digest text. I look forward to more stories and publications like these and highly recommend to any followers of Yoruba folklore as well as fans of graphic novels! -Amazon Review
