Writer Nnedi Okarafor and artist Leonardo Romero continue their powerhouse run on SHURI #2 defining her as an individual instead of T'challa's sister. Read Full Review
Okorafor and Romero cultivated a beautiful partnership that extends into this Wakandan paradise. By using ancestral practices as a foreground to pushing the craft forward, it not only opens up opportunities for historical appreciation but a new profound understanding of where it can take us.

Shuri isn't an incredible comic by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still a very enjoyable companion series to Black Panther. Read Full Review
This is pretty cool still.
This series pulls from a lot of threads from the various Black Panther related titles over the last few years... Not sure how welcoming that makes this issue, or if it hinders itself.
The issue was boring, but the surprise at the end was amazing.
This issue's youthful, technophiliac, all-science portrayal of Shuri put a sadness on me. I thought the last issue worked hard to blend MCU Shuri with the more spiritual Shuri from the last volume of Black Panther. Now it's all MCU all the time, and the blending seems like a wasted effort.
Leonardo Romero's art is so gorgeous and very comic booky. The book has solid writing, but I was intensely bored up until the last page. I think this may end up not being for me in the long run, but I am intrigued to see where it goes next issue.
In all honesty, this issue is pretty boring. That last page really throws me for a loop though.
