The sales pitch:
BLACK PANTHER: WORLD OF WAKANDA #1
(SEP160917) Written by ROXANE GAY, YONA HARVEY, and TA-NEHISI COATES
Art by ALITHA E. MARTINEZ and AFUA RICHARDSON
Cover by AFUA RICHARDSON
Variant Covers by BRIAN STELFREEZE (SEP160918) and SKOTTIE YOUNG (SEP160919)

“YOU DESERVED SO MUCH MORE, LITTLE FLOWER. YOU DESERVED A WAKANDA THAT CHERISHED YOU.” Writer ROXANE GAY (Bad Feminst, Hunger) spins a Wakandan love story — its tenderness matched only by its 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 at all costs. What happens when your nation needs your hearts and minds, but you already gave them to each other? Illustrated by industry veteran ALITHA E. MARTINEZ (Iron Man, Black Panther). And in a special backup story, acclaimed poet YONA HARVEY (Hemming the Water) explores 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… Illustrated by rising star AFUA RICHARDSON (Genius). 40 PGS./Rated T …$4.99

Stelfreeze is such a badass...
I love the way Natacha Bustos's cover composition uses flat color and blackspotting  to frame Shuri's face.  Like something I would do...
Koi Pham's art style is like a cross between Travis Charest, N. Steven Harris, and John Romita Jr.  I'd love to see Koi bring more of this to some story pages, especially if the goddess Ororo was gonna make an appearance...

Comics about black women, written and drawn by black women?  CRAZY TALK, you say?  Well, that's my kind of crazy, fam!  I loved the character Zenzi from the moment I saw her in the main Black Panther comic, so I'm really excited to see Afua draw her!  And the Midnight Angels are blossoming into a great anti-hero dynamic duo.
World of Wakanda hits stores November 9th.

Have great day!
