I'm not much of a Marvel fan; I read this because of the authors. And unfortunately, I just don't know enough about the world to be able to follow it. I'm sure that there are good reasons that each episode focused on a different part of the Marvel canon, with the Dora Milaje as the common thread, but it really jarred -- that to have a story about black women as both heroes and villains, it couldn't happen without other people. Particularly given that the first one is spider man, and I failed to read the title as cross over, but rather as "Wakanda Forever: Amazing Spider-man" -- lets talk about African women through the lens of a white man. So basically -- I wasn't able to get enough into the story to enjoy it; I don't have the background to have easily got in to the story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"It's Wakanda's best warriors--Okoye, Ayo and Aneka--on a globe-trotting mission to protect the realm at any cost. When they discover a threat from their homeland causing trouble in New York, they'll leap into action--with or without their king. And that brings them to Spider-Man's friendly neighborhood. But former Dora Milaje member Nakia, A.K.A. Malice, has set a trap to lure the Black Panther into her obsessive clutches--beginning by taking out his one true love, Storm of the X-Men. And when T'Challa joins the fight, he brings a few mighty friends with him--and that means Okoye, Ayo and Aneka will assemble alongside the Avengers."--back cover.

As always with Okorafor the character writing is strong and the arc actually ties into the wonderful Christopher priest run on Black Panther. In particular, this comic finishes Malice (Nakia) story arc.
In a desperate attempt to lure the Black Panther to her before she dies, Nakia tracked down a long forgotten Dora Milaje weapon called the Mimic-27 which can create power-duplicating doppelgangers. Nakia eventually decided to send Mimic-27 after T'Challa's ex-wife, Ororo Monroe aka Storm of the X-Men, but the weapon broke free of Nakia's control and attacked her, too. To stop it, the Dora Milaje need Nakia's help, but she refused to act until she could see her king again. This comic is basically about the Dora Milaje alongside of various X-Men and Avengers attempting to stop Malice (Nakia) from destroying Brooklyn with the Mimic-27. It is also about the redemption of Nakia.
It made me want to go back and read Christopher Priest's legendary run on Black Panther, which I think I'll do. ( )
