Shuri (2018-) #5
by Nnedi Okorafor
Come at me, superhero fans, but I don't give a shit about Iron Man. I really don't. So to have him turn up for a large part of this final issue doesn't thrill me. The thing is, it should. I enjoy that Shuri is a scientist - being one myself - and I should love to watch her doing science stuff with another science nerd, and yet I don't. Partly because that other nerd is Iron Man (which, see above) and partly because this mini-series has gone back to action fights over community building, except this time it's a black hole instead of a bug and it's handwavium time to fix it. My interest tanked, and only sputtered back into life when the Egungun (how I love them) turned up at the end to give Shuri some tough love.
Not gonna lie... I would absolutely read a series that was nothing but the Egungun members having a meeting in some random community centre, organising against colonialism and fundamentalism and side-eyeing the quality of the snacks. I'd be more interested in reading that than the continuing adventures of Shuri, to be honest.
