Hautipua Rererangi

A vibrant New Zealand comic from Huia Publishers, Hautipua Rererangi (2012–present) blends Māori mythology with contemporary storytelling. Created by artist and writer Rangi Kipa, the series follows a young Māori hero who discovers his connection to ancient oceanic guardians. Though only one issue has been released so far, it stands as a landmark in indigenous comics, offering a fresh, culturally rooted take on the superhero genre. Its bold visual style and use of te reo Māori make it a distinctive and meaningful addition to the medium.
