This was a fun read. It reads like a fun crossover event like the good old days of Marvel Comics.

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. ( )

2635

As maiores guerreiras de Wakanda - Okoye, Ayo e Aneka - embarcam numa missão ao redor do globo para proteger seu amado reino a qualquer custo. Após descobrir que uma ameaça de sua terra natal está causando problemas em Nova York, elas decidem entrar em ação - com ou sem o rei ao seu lado!

The loosey-goosey plot of the main story is fun, and in the back-up stories I was very happy to see Priest tackle Black Panther again and was intrigued by the story set in a future world dominated by Wakanda. ( )

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. ( )
