Its not minor because Wakanda has a founding father named Bashenga(sp). So while the sword itself isn't an issue, saying his name is lost to history is just lack of research. Her only out is saying this is the same character who is in Aarons' 1,000,000 B.C. Avenger who is also unnamed. But I dont think Marvel would let X office develop his character before he does.

Best Storm story in a very long time.
Vita is one of us.
lol at Shuri saying Wakanda never discriminated against mutants. Deeeeeeeelusional.

I mean it's just forced relevance. Vita didn't even care enough to actually give the right name for the first BP, Bashenga and someone messed up the spelling for T'Challa's father. Wakandan lore was clearly not a priority, Storm "liberating" herself and getting the sword was. Not mad about that, but it is what it is.
If Storm and T'Challa could rekindle from that hoodrat beatdown they did during AvX this is nothing lol. There's a wider story at play here and we'll see the implications of stealing Skybreaker in a later Marauders arc or perhaps in a hypothetical AvX 2.0. Hopefully though, this is the permanent end of the Storm-BP relationship. She's betrayed the kingdom twice now, at this point T'Challa should be overthrown if he's foolish enough to get with a woman that won't put his people first.

Very this. I get that it was a fun read with some nice art and I don’t begrudge anyone for enjoying it, especially as a Storm fan but let’s at least be real here. Nothing that happened in this issue had to happen at all. Storm waited 2.5 minutes before she decided to risk it all to be a messy Lara Croft. T’challa could have and should have been reached immediately what with all of their tech and the urgency of the matter. The “he ignored my calls” is such a pedestrian excuse for who these characters are and the access they have to each other with their high profiles. You’re telling me Queen Regent Ramonda didn’t have an emergency direct line to the king of Wakanda? -__- All the more to say it really wasn’t a good look for Ororo to see that if she had apparently just waited 30 extra minutes, T’challa would have arrived and just given it to her. You’re telling me he wouldn’t contact her after all the “missed calls” on his way back? Shuri, a genius and once Black Panther and Queen would be caught having to confront Ororo with a knife? ORORO?? She kept reiterating “I am who I am and I know what I must do” but how smart does it make her look to now have garnered enmity from not only the nation of Wakanda as a whole in their view of Krakoa/mutants but also to unnecessarily distance herself from T’challa and the Royal Family, who are not only beloved kin but more importantly allies of the highest priority? And at the end of it all was the 30 minute delay really “too long to wait” when she arrives back on Krakoa and now gets to sit on her ass and WAIT for the other seven swordbearers? Come on.
It was great to see Ororo in action. It was great to see her handle her business. It was great to see her use some of her lesser utilized powers. I just wish the story that encompassed all of those things wasn’t the most contrived and utterly unnecessary story of the year. I hope there was some foresight for this other than just splitting them up because a man spent years thoughtfully repairing their relationship, slowly and respectfully via scenes with depth and tenderness and to tear it all down for a one off sword heist tale? Idk just rings as disrespectful to me. I’m not even the biggest, most unwavering T’choro fan though I do enjoy their relationship but Jesus, the man’s run wasn’t even allowed to play out in its entirety yet. Was it for this issue to take place? Because if it was? That was a choice.

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 sword. I do not think there is a bigger plan that involves Ororo and T'Challa after this. Coates, as you noted, spent years building them up again as a couple. No one is planning to restart that process as part of Ororo's big, story change. All you need to do is look at some of the words that were chosen to be bolded and it's clear this issue was meant to end (which was one of the bolded words in the issue) the romance between the two. Hell, they pushed back Coates's last three BP issues to 2021. Whether his issues sold low or not, how many people, after this issue and knowing how it ends with them, will want to pick up those final issues of his Intergalactic Wakanda arc?
There was no true rush. Ororo could've waited at least until morning. And seeing only two other sword wielders at the end of the issue pushed that point home. None of it was necessary. False urgency with a contrived confrontation. It's all actually quite insulting.
