“Typically when you see them, they’re with T’Challa, representing and protecting him,” Author Nnedi Okorafor told Vogue about the soldiers. The soldiers gained a huge fan following since the film “Black Panther” premiered in February.
“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.”
Okorafor has already started working on the miniseries. The first one entails a deadly mission to New York City featuring Okoye, Ayo and Aneka teaming up with Spiderman Peter Parker.

New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay was planning Black Panther: World of Wakanda, but it was cancelled after only six issues in 2017.
Though the Dora Milaje grabbed the spotlight after the “Black Panther” film was released, Gay’s spinoff takes us to the extended world of warriors Aneka and Ayo. They stand up to be a revolt against women’s oppression and the Wakanda monarchy, according to The Root. Aneka and Ayo were also characterized as open lesbians.
