Black Panther: World of Wakanda #4
The Most Annoying Things In Ebony Panther #4 (Mostly Me Reading Into The Social Commentary Being Offered and Being Frustrated by the Patriarchy)
1. Aneka. She'll probably rank on this list again, but my god. The angst. I just can't take it. There's no way you could have saved Shuri, Aneka. No need to be such a b-word to Ayo.
2. Ayo. Why does she grab this? Is this actually love? This woman must have the patience of a saint. I would have already been done with Aneka by now.
3. Folami. Folami will definitely make this list more than once. First, why did she uncover everything to Mistress Zola? Why did she believe this was going to work? This girl clearly has the cunning of a rock.
4. Do the women of Wakanda own no recourse for sexual assault or abuse? Act police exist in this universe? I get the social commentary offered here, but it is still infuriating. Thanks for not pro
Who Is Roxane Gay? Receive To Know The Feminist Critic Who Just Became One Of Marvel’s First Black Women Writers [SDCC 2016]
At San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, Marvel plans to declare a new series spinning out of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze's Black Panther series, Black Panther: World of Wakanda. An anthology series, the lead story features Ayo and Aneka, two lovers who defected from Wakanda's all-woman security drive to form the vigilante Midnight Angels. The story is co-written by Coates and feminist essayist and critic Roxane Gay, with art by Alitha Martinez.
The first issue of World of Wakanda will also feature a 10-page backup story written by poet Yona Harvey, with art by Afua Richardson. Harvey's story stars Zenzi, a female revolutionary who has also been introduced in Coates' Black Panther.
The announcement is notable for a couple of very significant reasons. Barring further announcements, World of Wakanda will be Marvel's only series with unambiguously queer characters in the
Black Panther: World of Wakanda
What I wasn't ready for was seeing Roxane Gay credited as the author, right there on the front cover. I squeaked, internally, "NO WAY! She writes comics now?"
I should have learned my lesson with Margaret Atwood. The answer to my verb is, "No. No, she doesn't write comics. She lends credibility to the work with her label and that's about it."
Coates was a consultant for this one since t
World of Wakanda #1
As both a poet and an avid comic reader, when I heard Ta-Nehisi Coates, Roxane Gay, and Yona Harvey were teaming up for Black Panther: World of Wakanda, I was thrilled. I went into my local comic shop and buzzed about it with the staff, also occupied of anticipation. Coates's Black Panther run has been incredibly successful, and each brand-new issue sat at the top of my stack, but World of Wakanda was even more exciting. I've been a Bad Feminist devotee since its release and an active Twitter follower of Roxane Gay. Yona Harvey's poetry teaches me a distillation and gravitas that few poets can. Rarely have my nerd-self and my academic-literary-self both been so fed at the same time. Gay and Harvey are the first black female team at Marvel (and indeed, the first black female writers at Marvel), and World of Wakanda is centered on the black female experience in the fictional nation.
Set before the events of Black Panther, Gay's story explores the Dora Milaje, trained warriors who protect the Black Panther and the royal family. Aneka and Ayo's lovey-dovey relations
