This is a strange, but ambitious issue. Essentially, T'Challa, Monica, and Kevin Trublood are hanging out with Mr. and Mrs. Lynn on their porch while Mrs. Lynn tells a story. The story is of their ancestor, Caleb, who was freed after the Civil War but still stuck in poverty as a sharecropper. The left side of the page is Mrs. Lynn telling the story as it was. The right side of the page has the story as Monica imagines it with everyone in a much less sad state and T'Challa involved as well.
Essentially, Caleb is threatened by the Klan. He goes to the Freedmen's Bureau, but the Republican politicians who work there only make empty promises. In Monica's vision, T'Challa jumps in and beats them up too and he and Caleb agree to make their stand against the Klan.
In the real story, Caleb and his family hurry home, trying to get their before dark. They never make it. They were confronted by one Klansman in particular, who called himself the Soul Strangler and pretended to be a Confederate soldier who died at the Battle of Shiloh. He shoots Caleb in the shoulder, ties a rope around his neck, and hangs him while his his wife and kids are forced to watch. It's a powerful image - one that McGregor doesn't sugarcoat at all. And it's one that, frankly, Monica's fantasy, where T'Challa saves the day and rescues Caleb, feels hollow.
Still, I feel the story has a message about the role of fantasy. Monica isn't completely escaping from the reality of the world she lives in, but she still finds value in the fake version she imagines where people can be heroic and justice can actually happen. In many ways, it's calling attention to itself that this is a comic and it's possible to have heroism and, just maybe, a happy ending that might not be possible in real life.

[QUOTE=MindofShadow;3812562]she is fine with the sci-fi elements. I don't feel like she gets any of the characters though.[/QUOTE]
I was good with how she did the xmen. I don't care about Ayo and Aneka so they don't matter to me.
Okoye should have been fiercer.
I felt a few thing Nakia said were off base, but I can chop that up to her talking trash. lol

I only skimmed the latest world of Wakanda, but still, blah.
All this effort to ruin an old villain, when all they had to do was change her damn name!
And who wants to bet she'll be killed in a hard to bring back manner next issue?

Yeah, I think the tone of this story is far too light for Malice to be killed. T'Challa will save her. Who knows... maybe he might actually steer her in the right direction too.

I agree I see this happening especially with the dora mentioning they need her help to beat the mimic weapon.

This isn't the best evidence. The way Storm is talking seems like Marvel is hedging in case they decide to end it again. Similar to how Tchalla spoke in Xmen Red.
Why the second image?

no one knows what the future may bring beloved but what is obvious now is that they are together.
the second image is a reminder that tchalla ain't checking for nakia at all.

Yeah it’s been working sometimes for me and at other times the connection stops working.
