Marvel Comics has decided to portray Dora Milaje in a more independent light with a 3-part spin-off series written by Nigerian American afro-futuristic writer Nnedi Okorafor.
The first part will be “Amazing Spiderman: Wakanda Forever #1” in June, followed by “X-Men: Wakanda Forever #1” in July and finally “Avengers: Wakanda Forever #1” in August.
Speaking to Vogue, Nnedi sheds more light on the series;
Typically when you see them, they’re with T’Challa, representing and protecting him. Now you’re going to see the Dora Miljae for the first time as an independent entity; they’re not under the shadow of the throne.She explains how it felt writing the piece;
It’s been amazing, and I’ve learned so much along the way. Presenting a vision of the African continent through the sci-fi lens felt completely natural. I like to write the future; the Africa I feel can be and the Africa that will be, that has always been my vision. With Wakanda, a place set in the present but with a futuristic outlook, it wasn’t a hard transition—it made a lot of sense.Nnedi says that the piece will becoming a televised series or even a major movie in the near future;
This moment has been coming for a long time. People have craved these types of characters for a while, and I don’t think that craving is going to pass; it’s something that is here to stay.
