I AM...SHURI?
A little Wakandan magic, a little astral projection and a very confused tree. Shuri cast her mind into the depths of space in a desperate bid to find her missing brother-and instead she landed in the mind of Groot! Who's about to become a crunchy snack for a huge, energy-sucking alien! Rocket Raccoon's best guns won't get them out of this one. Is Wakanda about to lose its only remaining heir to the throne?!
Rated T
Controlling the mind of Groot, Shuri gets sidetracked in the search of her brother to help Rocket Raccoon take down a giant alien bug. The dynamic team of writer Nnedi Okorafor with art by Leonardo Romero and colors by Jordie Bellaire continue to cement a worthy legacy for Shuri. Read Full Review
From the first issue, Shuri coming to terms that she will not take up the mantle as The Black Panther again to not be compared to her brother. The second issue a battle between the spiritual side and the logic side. Read Full Review

Leonardo Romero's art is good, but there isn't much that seems visually challenging from the story. It's pretty paint-by-numbers, but still executed well. Read Full Review
I am still interested in this series, but after the last issue, I was ready to love it. This issue spins it's wheels a bit and while I would love to see more Shuri/Groot and Rocket together, I wish the overall story here was stronger. Shout out to Aretha Franklin lovers everywhere, but if this book is going to garner any respect, Nnedi Okorafor needs to get things moving forward quickly. Read Full Review
Things become increasingly hard to follow as the issue goes on, leading to a climax that's more confusing than enjoyable. Read Full Review
Shuri's sojourn as a passenger in Groot's head is a bit of a digression from her brother-finding mission, but lordy, it's a lot of fun. Minor storytelling glitches (in words and art) are more than counterbalanced by the ambitious, inventive weirdness of the subject matter. Characterization is solid, and Nnedi Okorafor finesses the Groot language barrier with tremendous skill.
This issue was good. It wasn't bogged down in lore and continuity like the last issue, making it much more accessible, while the pacing becomes must faster.
Really fun diversion! Should have expected to see that a member of the the Elephant Trunk would be relevant to the story. Art fit this issue well, and I really liked the visualization of Shuri on a chair where Groot's brain would be.
More like “Wakanda four seconds.”
Weird issue when you describe it out loud.
The previous two issues brilliantly focused on Shuri's chipper personality and her quest to find her beloved brother.
Well, THIS issue is all about Shuri fighting a giant bug. You want more? Too bad!
