*4.5* I enjoyed this collection of comics and definitely will be continuing on with the series. Shuri is a complex character, and the comic does a great job exploring her complicated relationship with her brother, even when he’s only present for the first two pages. Shuri has always been second fiddle to her brother, who was first a future king and then a king; her entire existence has been shadowed by and in service of her brother. Even in his absence, she is expected to pick up the mantle he held and be the leader he was; this doesn’t vibe with Shuri, who would rather serve her people technologically and from the sidelines. Plus, she has her own trauma with the role of Black Panther that no one seems to either know about or take into consideration. There’s interesting themes of duty before self and technology/science vs. spirituality.
