The Dora Milaje head to New York City in this Wakanda Forever exclusive
The Dora Milaje are a household name after the massive success of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. Now, Wakanda’s group of elite warrior women is stepping into the spotlight in a Wakanda Forever trio of one-shots teaming these female fighters with Marvel’s most popular heroes. Writer Nnedi Okorafor wrote a fantastic exploration of Wakanda in the Black Panther: Long Live The King miniseries, so it’s exciting to see her get an opportunity to venture into different aspects of the Marvel universe and tackle characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers. She’s working with a different artist for each one-shot, partnering with Alberto Alburquerque and colorist Erick Arciniega for next week’s Wakanda Forever: Amazing Spider-Man. One of the best things about Okorafor’s previous Black Panther story was the sense of humor she brought to T’Challa’s interactions with his colleagues, and she gets to push those comedic muscles even further as she tackles Spider-Man, Marvel’s quippiest hero.
