THE AGENTS OF WAKANDA #6
An old S.H.I.E.L.D. cache of experimental technology is a ticking time bomb the Agents of Wakanda need to defuse - but only if they get there before DEADPOOL! Time for a rematch between the King of Wakanda and the Merc with a Mouth! And adding more fuel to fire - the return of the Livewires!
Rated T
Scot Eaton delivers some beautiful art in this issue. The action is amazing and the characters look fantastic. There is real energy in the art and it complements the story and its tone perfectly. Read Full Review
It's not common for a sixth issue, but I would say more than any other, this issue sets the tone for the series and what to expect. Surprises, excitement, and a whole lot of fun. Read Full Review
It ends a bit anticlimactically and doesn't make full use of the guest-villains, but it's a well-written story with better-than-average art and features a super-strong goth girl robot. What's not to like? Read Full Review
Last issue's cliffhanger with Nick Fury (supposedly) coming back into the fold makes for a nice twist, and seems to be hinting at a bigger conflict down the line. Otherwise it's you standard fun team-up group with a little bit of Deadpool sprinkled in. Read Full Review
This was enjoyable to read. But I expected a little more combat fighting. Deadpool was great also.
" I sensed your frustration about this rôle and how the agents are not as militant or structured as the dora milaje you know and trust. I knew that suggesting you think of them as expendable would have the inverse effect and you would realize each is an individual worthy of respect, chosen because of their varied outlooks on the world and skill sets they bring to each mission. Nemesis told me you were willing to die before him. He was schoked, but i was not. I knew your spirit was true. "

'Nick Fury eats pizza with a fork.'
Deadpool is great.
This is fun to me. That's all!
Prelude:
It's no secret that BP & AoW has been floundering for me but it did pick up in the last issue. Let's see how Zub goes with this issue.
The Good:
Love Deadpool in this.
The Bad:
It's a bit boring.
Conclusion:
It's a bit fun but also a bit boring. Let's just cut it in the middle and say it's passable.
It's a fun story, though it's a rather embarrassing showing for the Agents, isn't it? I'm pretty sure Deadpool coulda/woulda solved this whole thing whether or not they were there.
Issue 6 is a huge step down after a great issue 5. Nick Fury decoys/LMDs have been used so much in the past few years and it’s just such an used up trope. Deadpool was hilarious and Zub did a great job of not going over the top with the Deadpool stuff. T’Challa and Okoye were great but I hope that Zub lets the rest of the team shine a little more in future issues. My main complaint is that this issue relies way to heavily on presuming the reader has read the Liveswires series from 15 years ago. I haven’t read that comic, so here we are.
I’m just like not super interested in this team and the jokes don’t work for me, I dunno.
