    This was a fun, enjoyable read that didn't take anything away from the Dora with the introduction of Spider-Man and has some great moments for fans of the characters. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke

    A good issue that properly puts in place how flipping awesome the Dora Milaje can be. Without a doubt, this story is making a statement about this group of warrior women being not only an entertaining facet of the MCU but also an important one. Unfortunately, it's done in a way that is light on purpose, giving the book a fun crossover feel but not much more. Read Full Review

    Black Nerd Problems - Brandon Lawrence

    Reading Amazing Spider-Man: Wakanda Forever was the first time in a long while that I was surprised by the difference between the adaptation of a character in a show or movie vs the comic book. The last instance of this I remember was learning that the Venom Symbiote was not brought to earth on a space shuttle piloted by J. Jonah Jameson's son (Why would you lie to me, 90's Spider-Man cartoon?) Read Full Review

    Continuing with the Wakandan characters she began to write in Black Panther: Long Live the King last year, Nnedi Okorafor's ability to write Okoye and her Dora Milaje compatriots is uncanny. Read Full Review

    This is a fun read but definitely should not be priced at 5 dollars. It is a fun story that kicks off this tale nicely. I don't think Nnedi Okorafor is a comic book writer yet. The story just is not a smooth but there is some humor and fun to be had.

    Malice is bouncing around New York causing mayhem to try and attract T'Challa's attention, so the Dora Milaje come after her. This first chapter involves a FN Spider-Man team-up. This comic dishes out an admirable amount of setup and plot development. Character development lags a bit. The art is impressively polished. It gives the Dora a nice visual edge and adroitly keeps three very similar characters from actually getting confused.

    I had so much hope. That was awful. I hurt myself trying to go through this. And I solicited all third issue. It was ship and not even funny. Cover - The variant. It's not seem that connect to anything at all. Does the regular are the connecting one ? Nice & related 2/2 Writing - I find it dumb ! 1/3 Arts - I like the art even if I don't like this Nakia (But I pretty shure that was deliberated). 2.5/3 Feeling - I didn't like it a bit. 0/2

    Gets better as the issue unfolds, including the art and dialogue. The first half is so clunky that it weighs the issue down.
