The world building of Wakanda continues in a love story where tenderness is matched only by brutality! You know them now as the Midnight Angels, but in this story they are just Ayo and Aneka, young women recruited to become Dora Milaje, an elite task force trained to protect the crown of Wakanda at all costs. Their first assignment will be to protect Queen Shuri... but what happens when your nation needs your hearts and minds, but you already gave them to each other? Meanwhile, former king T'Challa lies with bedfellows so dark, disgrace is inevitable. Plus, explore the true origins of the People's mysterious leader, Zenzi. Black Panther thinks he knows who Zenzi is and how she got her powers - but he only knows part of the story! COLLECTING: BLACK PANTHER: WORLD OF WAKANDA 1-6

whispers I thought the first volume of TNC's Black Panther was really confusing and hard to follow
normal volume But I subscribed to this anyway, because Roxane Gay. And I was correct to do so! I loved this book, and Ayo and Aneka's romance was so fun and beautiful.
I think a person (a person who is not a die-hard Black Panther fan but is interested!) could pick this up without reading the Black Panther series that this is technically a prequel to, since honestly....that series had left me with more questions. But finishing World of Wakanda made me want to go back and revisit Black Panther. PLEASE, ROXANE GAY WRITE MORE COMICS.
I enjoyed our queer black protagonists. I was excited about them, and I might pick me up some Black Panther now. On the whole, though, this was choppy, highlighting very briefly, important events in their progression. Though I think it might have made more sense to me if I actually read Black Panther. I'm just not really into superheroes, but I'm always willing to give them a shot.
