[QUOTE=MoneySpider;166160] I also think Achebe needs to be brought back in a BIG way to cause trouble for T'Challa (and maybe also Shuri).[/QUOTE]
Achebe was/is being wasted as a villain by Marvel dudes got his own type of insanity and ties to Mephisto he should have graduated from a B.P villain to an "universal" villain. you would thin that with the Avengers and shield acting as international police that Achebe causing strife in Africa could not get a story here or there. it would also allow T'challa to feature in more comics since he is the specialist in dealing with Achebe.

It's a mix between that and Marvel Heroes.

When you see what's going on with the kidnapped girls in Nigeria you wonder what a story would be like if some of the Doras were kidnapped!
You might be offending certain fractions with a story arc like that especially once Black Panther went on the hunt to get them back and left a very high body count but just as Captain America came off of the pages for soldiers and inspired them during World War 2 something must be done to make Black Panther a relevant hero among the rest of them that have solid ideals established for decades at a time!
Hudlin touched upon that with the Hurricane Katrina arc in New Orleans where heroes were on the scene during a real life tragedy!
So instead of muslims kidnapping Doras it could be Killmonger or even Achebe trying to avoid the western educational influence on the women of Wakanda with similar aspirations to the real life kidnappers!
Of course the fact that they are Doras in training would also have them fighting for themselves because the damsel in distress angle does not necessarily fly in Wakanda... This should at least get the approval of militant feminists!
AND... So as not to make that a street level story arc there can always be a more powerful hidden hand working behind the scenes with malicious intent maybe to draw the Black Panther out or make him break international laws for political intrigue!
Note: Hunter and them need to be what Eric Bana was in the movie Munich!

The Doras should be able to save themselves so no I never thought about it.

This. They're basically special forces level bodyguards. If they didn't fuck up the Boko Haram in three days of "kidnapping" I'd be surprised.

I too agree. If anyone tried to go at the Doras, it would be the last thing they would ever do.

Mistress Aneka alone is a beast and I would love for her to be featured more if/when BP gets a solo. I think she serves as a great supporting character for both T'Challa and Shuri.

I know most folks felt nothing from Priest's run should have been changed, but I really appreciated some of the changes Hudlin made to the Dora Milaje.
Making the decision for them to have shaved heads was a good idea. No reason why Wakandans should be conforming to Western beauty standards.

It's a good game to play when you don't have anything to do.
By the way guys, please support Storm's ongoing book, if it's ok with you all. :)

On the flip side, it made it much harder to distinguish the Dora Milaje from one another, and to me that made them less individualized, which can have its drawbacks.

Yeah that's the biggest problem with the new version. The new version makes sense for warrior women but I won't lie I liked the idea of two sexy ladies following T'challa around.
They can keep the new version just bring Nakia and Okoye back :D

Not really...early in Priest's run their Okoye and Nakia looking nearly identical. What distinguished them was Priest actually giving them character development. THAT's where Hudlin failed with them.

I was talking about very young Doras in training not the grown up warriors all armed and dangerous!
If someone of Hulk level strength snatched one of them they don't have super powers to prevent this!
B-Swizzy killed a few real easily so it's not like they all are ready to fight at a moments notice and usually this takes beings with significant powers so I'm not talking your average nickel and dime kidnapers here!
Assume the kidnappers are of the super villain variety I mean this is comic books so they may as well have unique powers to pull this off!
Carry on...
The Reverend Achebe: "I'm tired of this western influence corrupting our young women! By the power of Bast I command you Erik Killmonger to seize them and save their souls from this abominable monstrosity!"
Erik Killmonger: "As you command oh great priest of priests!"
Meanwhile...
T'challa: "He did what?"
Shuri: "He kidnapped the entire first year recruiting class!"
T'challa: "All of them?"
Shuri: "He's threatening to sell them off to other nations just to spite you and your associations with outsiders... The Avengers to be exact!"
T'challa: "And the elders agreed with this?"
Shuri: "He is the acting representative of Bast so he can practically do as he pleases without impunity!"
T'challa: "I knew I should have dropped that cat god and went to church!"
Point Man: "STOP THE RANGE ROVER SIR!"
Carry on...
