sci-fi author nnedi okorafor to write dora milaje spin-off for marvel #blackpanther

Black Sci-fi author Nnedi Okorafor is the latest in black storyteller to join the Marvel Universe, this time in the form of a wicked Dora Milage comic book spin-off! Inspired by the global obsessions over Dandai Gurira’s fierce as hell portrayal of Dora Milage general Okoye, the story will follow her, Ayo and Aneka as they venture to New York to investigate a national security threat with the help of Spider-Man.

“Typically when you see them, they’re with T’Challa, representing and protecting him,” Okorafor tells Vogue. “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.”

Well, the cat's out of the bag now. 😊!! Glad I don't have to politely smile and say "Maybe" when people ask me if I'm doing more stuff with Marvel. https://t.co/q0dELEq5tg
