Shequeta Smith

At just five years old, Rayven Johnson witnessed her parents' assassination on a Washington, D. C. commuter train. To protect her from the hitman, she was sent across the world to South Korea, where she was raised by her father's best friend - a Korean KATUSA (Korean Augmentation to the United States Army). Growing up as a Black girl in a foreign country, Rayven struggled with identity, loss, and a burning desire for answers.
Now an adult trained in martial arts and fluent in Korean, she returns to America with one goal: to uncover the truth behind her parents' murder - and take revenge on those responsible. Set between Seoul and Washington, D. C., Rayven Choi is a gripping 177-page graphic novel that blends action, espionage, and emotional depth. With cinematic pacing, international intrigue, and a fierce Black heroine at its center, this story is perfect for fans of Kill Bill, Nikita, and Atomic Blonde.
