The goal of this series is to go deeper into the stories of the women of the “Black Panther” universe. The fantasy world is getting juicy characters with compelling story lines in the “World of Wakanda,” which will primarily focus on Ayo and Aneka, the two lovers who are former members of the Dora Milaje, the Black Panther’s female security force. It’s sad to report that in 2016 we are excited that the pairing of Gay and Harvey “will make history by becoming the first Black female writers in the Marvel comic universe,” but the truth is the truth, and because comic book series can make creators wealthy, it’s great news to share.Ĭreative illustrators should mark this news with a smilie icon because, as Gay stated, “Black women are also doing the cover art.”
Roxane Gay is the first Black woman to write for Marvel Comics and will be joining forces with Ta-Nehisi Coates and poet Yona Harvey to add her magic to the new Marvel comic series titled “Black Panther: World of Wakanda.”
