Yes. It was supposed to continue into an Empyre tie-in, Invasion of Wakanda - but that's been cancelled.

Ends at issue 9, #10 was an Empyre tie-in that's been scrapped.
And they didn't finish Invasion of Wakanda, so we'll never get to see it.

It was so Avenger-y cause I think they wanted to stay from too many "brown bodies" at one time, in one book. Instead of just using a uniquely Wakandian agents with a combo of superhumans and trained human operatives. Just write good stories if it's canceled then well what did you lose?
Yup, the book was hardly anything great and should’ve been used to prop up Wakanda’s many superhumans and spies. The best they could do for a Wakandan SHIELD was a bunch of D-listers so I’m not too torn up about it and the Empyre tie-in being cancelled. Especially with all the “A king will fall” garbage from the trailer, which I have no interest in seeing for Black Panther.
Fat Cobra and Gorilla Man were great.
The parts without Fat Cobra and Gorilla Man, not so much.
It doesn't take away from the fact that it was a lame grouping that robbed a great opportunity. If the book was going to struggle with reception anyway then I say go ham with it! Commit to show a cutting edge, advanced spy agency to make our mouths water!!!! Naw, we got apes, aliens and Africans??? No this was lack of meaningful execution I just don't see Groo as a good stand in for true Wakandians. This could have been a hella good 10 issues before downing out.
