Marvel announced Friday that the Dora Milaje, AKA the badass female warriors from “Black Panther,” are getting a new comic miniseries, starting with the book Wakanda Forever: The Amazing Spider-Man. The comic, which will be released in June, will be followed up with Wakanda Forever: X-Men in July and Wakanda Forever: Avengers! Black Panther: World of Wakanda, written by New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay, was cancelled after only six issues in 2017 — just a few days after the trailer for the “Black Panther” film was released. In the film, Ayo (Florence Kasumba) plays a minor role and no details about her sexuality are showcased. So, it will be interesting to see how Ayo’s characterization develops in “Black Panther” movie sequels and in Okorafor’s comic series.
