Black Panther World of Wakanda Vol. 1: Dawn of the Midnight Angels
Black Panther World of Wakanda Vol. 1: Dawn of the Midnight Angels | Roxane Gay, Yona Harvey
17 posts | 14 read | 11 to read
Ayo and Aneka are 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!

I'll be using this for #lesotho next year for #ReadingAfrica2022, as Wakanda is based there, and it's going to be difficult to find one for.

@Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB I guess I will be reading this one too ☺️Lesotho seems very difficult! 3y
jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB there is a number 1 ladies detective agency book partly set there too, but don't know which one. 3y
Librarybelle Thanks for posting this! 3y

#MayCharacters - Motivates: There‘s something badass about a female warrior. There‘s something inspirational about a group of women only serving as the elite Special Forces Team in protection of their country. There‘s something motivational about Okoye, the General of the Dora Milaje in the Marvel Comic, Black Panther. She was fearless in her duties as commander, protector, loyal citizen and faithful friend.👇🏽

Nute Fictional female characters depicted as brave, strong, intelligent and capable surely motivates me.
I cheered out loud when she came on screen in the theater. 🎥 🎞
BTW- I was definitely about to pick Samwise Gamgee of LOTR, because he‘s my go to character for all things wonderful in human tendencies, but today feels like a GO GIRL POWER / FEMALE MAGNIFICENCE Day!💥💫

Nute @Eggs There were so many cool photos of her online. This one had the most fierce badass female presence. She is a warrior with a capital ‘W‘...oh, yes! 4y
Nute @vivastory No, I hadn‘t heard of this. Nikki Giovanni is involved in the writing. That‘s interesting! 4y

Roxane Gay makes her graphic novel debut with this tale of the women that largely live and run the land of Wakanda while Black Panther/T'Challa is with the Avengers and saving the larger world. Strong characters set this story of love and vengeance apart. I would look forward to further adventures but I read it‘s been canceled: http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/black-panther-world-wakanda-cancelled-im-reason-sup...

I loved this! Aneka and Ayo are wonderful characters that I couldn't help but root for, as individuals and as a couple. The art is everything I could have wanted. I just wish there was going to be more of the series.

#femmeuary #ReadHarderChallenge8 #booked2018 #unconventionalRomance this is written by Roxane Gay building on Ta-Nehisi Coates‘ Black Panther series the backstory of the Midnight Angels Ayo and Aneka is also their love story. I enjoyed this even though I only picked it up for the challenges- and Roxane Gay!

Booksnchill @cinfen that is certainly the reason I do them- I really never read any graphics before litsy and these challenges! 7y

A really fun read. It was great to read a Marvel comic that was so diverse and representative- it really felt like a story for the modern age.

One of the most exciting days of the year! The 2018 #readharder list is out and I'm as pumped as ever...my weekend ahead is definitely going to be spent planning

Redheadrambles @ClairesReads Absolutely I saw this very late last night and immediately spotted some problem tasks ! But now have some time to sit and plan as well so will discuss with you ! Slightly easier than last year ? 7y
ClairesReads @Redheadrambles I think so! The difficulty I sense is more about my natural interests or narrowing down to one choice- rather than trying to find something. I look forward to the goodreads group setting up individual task boards to gather some ideas 7y
Redheadrambles @ClairesReads I kind of enjoy that stage where I discover heaps of new books to read just by doing the research for these prompts 😀 Also waiting to see the GR group for more suggestions. Re comics I guess I allow myself to use Graphic novels just because I enjoy them more than traditional comics ... 7y

ClairesReads @Redheadrambles I agree- it all gets a bit easier if you interpret it that way- and I think it fulfils the spirit of the challenge enough 7y
ClairesReads @Redheadrambles what are you thinking for posthumously? I'm still struggling with female protagonist over 60- maybe... 7y
Redheadrambles Well I was pondering for Our Souls at Night for that task ? Can‘t recall if I have seen you read it ? It gets very good reviews and there is a film ;) (edited) 7y
Redheadrambles @ClairesReads be so good if there was someway we could share a list of ideas ? Google Spreadsheet or not sure if you can share a shelf on GRs ? 7y
ClairesReads @Redheadrambles oooo that's a nice idea for that task too- I was thinking google might be a good way- or a small goodreads group and we could make a group shelf? 7y
Redheadrambles @ClairesReads yip going the GR small group idea and we can add others in that we interact with online and throw ideas around in this early stage ? Weeheee (edited) 7y
Redheadrambles @ClairesReads all set up to discuss / add lists or whatever;) 7y
ClairesReads @Redheadrambles yes! Thank you for doing that! 7y
MemoirsForMe Yay! 🙌🏻 7y

And look what Nephew got. Personally autographed by My Lady though she wasn't personalizing books other than Hunger. She was a BOSS. Best night!

My surgery was this AM. Surprisingly I don't feel too poorly though I expect this means tomorrow will be worse. I've actually been able to read a bit here and there and have had lots of cat snuggles.

This was at the back of my Black Panther comic. Roxane Gay making a comic?! Sign me up! It says June release date; summer cannot come fast enough. 😁😬
