I tried to send you a link via a PM. You gotta clear some of your messages. LOL. Have you been storing those things since the time of Claremont? :)

Ha, exactly. It's done and not worth it.
“With the costume, I thought ‘well, she’s a diplomat as well as being the former regent of this place,’” Ayala said. “She is on friendly terms, but she’s asking a favor. Alright, well, let’s dress...
And where in the hell did Storm get the fake sword? LOL. She had time to think of a contingency plan, that involved theft and the manufacturing of a fake sword, but not enough time to wait until...
Right, Nnedi Okorafor wrote all of the Shuri mini except for #6 and #7, which Vita did pen and neither included Storm.
Exactly. I wrote in another post that Ayala wanted to have it both ways. IMO, you can't have a T'Challa who is willing to give Ororo a blade that, it's absence, based on what they wrote Shuri saying,...
While I think that Vita Ayala is the low hanging fruit in this situation, they are still the writer of this issue. If they can stand and take the glory and praise from those who loved the story then...
Honestly, what in the hell did they think would happen when this issue came out? Did Ayala think every reader would bow down and thank them for writing this mischaracterization? Sure, yes, I'm sure...
Thank you for expressing this so eloquently. I hesitated to make the same point you did in the second paragraph. But I think it needed to be said.
I returned my Ecopy to Amazon and got a refund. I will not support this trash with my hard earned money.
Welcome to the club. It's a sad club to join, though. Smh.
Yes to all of this. I don't subscribe to the idea that you have to destroy to build. Not that I can see, right now, how this action builds Ororo's character. I mean, she was so freaking extreme in...
A long time BP reader might now. But the scene with Ramonda and Shuri going through all of the legendary Wakandan swords they were willing to give Storm for the competition was heartbreaking to see....
I mean from the very beginning. There was no need for the general public, even the sword's guards, to know she had the sword. They could've allowed for a clean swap and no one would've been the...
Her mother is Kenyan and her father was an African American from New York. I have no idea what you mean by "fully african," but that has always been her biological background. Both Coates and Hudlin...

All of this, especially the bolded.
He raised good points. One of them being how Wakandans viewed Storm as a goddess under Coates. She saved them from Adversary and they literally prayed to her. The artist showed people from all over...
Thank you very much. :)
I'll shoot you a private message with a link to my Amazon page.
No, I'm a published author of over 15 books--mainly paranormal and fantasy romance.
The thing is, if we go by what Ayala had Shuri say, even if (they will) save the world, Ororo taking the...
Disgusting was a word I refrained from using in the review, but I thought it and agree with you. Sigh. This is why I write my own books with AA characters.
Thanks for taking the time to read and share your thoughts.
No, I don't mind you reproducing some of my review here. Whether Marvel or Ayala cares--they don't--I still think it's important to let our voices heard in a venue other than on these boards and on...
I'm right there with you. I bought this crap and, since I spent my money, I left a review. A one star review and the reasons why without being insulting to the author. Can't have one fully...

Stunningly said, especially the bolded. I do think this issue was ALL about breaking them up. If not, there were other ways, more sensible and less harmful ways, Ororo could've obtained the...
