Uneven series as a whole. The Sam Spratt covers early were fantastic. I enjoyed Rachel Stott's art in the later issues. Other than that the story was fine. Nothing world changing. The power set Shuri possesses at the close of this issue, and her role moving forward, better suits her character. So that was an achievement of this series.
The artwork is starting to break down in some panels, particularly with faces. I like the ending because it tries something a bit different from the typical 'giant monster threat' approach and it retains Muti as a new potential support character (he really needs a better name thought).
At the end, this series loops back to the promising status quo Ta-Nehisi Coates established for Shuri. It feels like a lap run in the wrong direction, though; it broke Shuri down and put her back together instead of actually using that status quo. There was some daring storytelling along the way, but this wasn't really the Shuri story anybody wanted -- not even, it seems from the adios letter in the back, the author.
A solid enough ending.
Pretty okay ending. Won't miss this title much, but it was better than I ever suspected it would be.
