Marvel editor Wil Moss announced Wakanda Forever on Twitter, a collection of one-shot comics featuring the Dora Milaje teaming up with various Marvel superheroes, including Spider-Man. The three-part story is written by Nnedi Okorafor with art by Alberto Alburquerque.

First is June's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: WAKANDA FOREVER, with art by @ajalburquerque. pic.twitter.com/WVKfkerhnE

The first issue, Amazing Spider-Man: Wakanda Forever, comes out in June and will be followed by X-Men: Wakanda Forever in July and Avengers: Wakanda Forever in August. The first issue will focus on the Dora Milaje helping Spider-Man investigate a threat to national security, according to Okorafor.
Fans of the movie shouldn’t expect to see Nakia in these issues, at the very least as a hero. Although the film presented Lupita Nyong’o‘s Nakia as a heroine, in the comics, her character turned turned against T’Challa and the Dora Milaje several years ago.
