SHURI TAKES UP THE BLACK PANTHER MANTLE ONCE AGAIN! Nnedi Okorafor returns alongside rising star artist Rachael Stott with a brand-new arc! But this is a Black Panther you’ve never seen before — one who will change Wakanda forever. Something has stolen pieces of the Djalia, the plane of Wakandan memory, and it’s up to the Princess of Wakanda to save it.

Shuri is back home in Wakanda, taking the Black Panther mantle. The Space Lubber is back too, though, it attacked important memories and invaded Mansa's mind again. Shuri and her allies have to fight it, but things don't all go as planned... Spectacular art, once again, cool story.

Back on track
Shut has become the panther on her own terms. I hope her power loss is temporary. I love how Storm is drawn.

Great pacing, great fight scene with the space lubber, and a suspenseful ending that hints that we'll learn more about Muti next issue

Nnedi returns
Good color artwork. One of three hundred comics marvel gave out on national read a book day, Sept six. These books would be easier to review if they were 32 pages long? Marvel should deliver full size books if they are in the comic industry, not skimp and deliver 70% . Shurri has been pushed into the black panther position without regard for how she died, the space lubber is getting bigger.

#readingwomenchallenge Prompt #7: #africanfuturism - Shuri Vol. 2 by Nnedi Okorafor.
Love seeing a girl scientist in action. Storylines were good. Artwork was VERY inconsistent. The second volume Shuri looked like 3 different women. I fell in love with Shuri in the Marvel movie and her personality shines through in Okorafor's writing.

My Current State of Mind With This Series In Fifteen Words
God, is it done yet? Can we get some resolution or interesting plotlines soon?

I love Nnedi’s writing but the graphic novel format leaves me cold.
