spoilers:

The Hatut Zeraze job out to Taskmaster. HARD. Okoye does slightly better, but Tasky eventually beats her for reasons. And then he manages to get away because Okoye doesn't recognize Nick Fury Jr. Not a good showing for any Wakandan.

The anthology book is available now. Kindle has some of the first stories for free.

The first story is by Maurice Broaddus with Queend Divine Justice as the storyteller. It's fire. The closest I've ever seen to Priest. Its within his continuity too.

Bought it this morning and damn you were right. MindofShadow if you read this story and still hate QDJ you have no heart lol. She’s a great character and honestly her and Okoye should be representing the Dora, hopefully the MA slink off into obscurity after Coates. The story about T’Challa and the Wild Seeds (fantastic reference) was amazing too.

Vibranium mutates are the wave and T’Challa continues to be a really engaging guy to follow when put in the hands of someone that understands what makes him tick. I’m about to get to the Shuri and Bashenga stories tomorrow. Overall some of the most consistently solid BP content we’ve gotten since Redjack’s BPQ.

There's no indication that Okoye didn't recognize Fury. She simply would have assumed that he was working with the government on the down low. It's not as if Fury and Tasky announced their team-up.

Not the greatest showing, but not bad overall, IMO

So what your saying is that there is another potential writer to add to our wish list with RJ?

No. It's just random stories, but if they wanted, they could squeeze them into canon. I'm only a third of the way through though.

Just read it.

I'm not too bummed by this. Taskmaster is no joke. At least it wasn't short.

Yeah I mean... that dude Akili or whatever who ran up to Tetu and... hit him with a rifle (lolol) might be the greatest HZ on panel other than Hunter. By Far

The way these short stories read they feel like really well executed one shots. They’re all by different authors but read together they’re consistently great so far (I’ve read 3 stories). Idk if that’s enough to go off of to say they’re the best for the BP solo but Sheree Reneé Thomas (a poet I’ve been following for a few years) seems like she’d do something great if she could handle the comic medium. Same goes for Marcus Broaddus, who would probably feel like a spiritual successor to Priest. Cadwell Turnbull wrote one of the most underrated sci-fi novels of 2019 and his Killmonger story was really solid. I’d prefer if they got their feet wet with some actual comic series before I put them on my list of top BP comic scribes. Everyone’s blown me away in book form but comics are a different beast altogether lol.

That said I think there’s a good chance Nnedi Okorafor gets the gig for the next BP solo. She wrote 3 miniseries during the Coates era, is a black woman, and plays well into the literary/non-traditional comic buyer crowd Marvel is pushing the franchise to. Her comic work has been mixed though, her Shuri and Dora miniseries were wack and her Long Live the King mini was average at best. She has decent ideas but for such a strong novelist I find her dialogue in comics weak. Also concerned she might double down on what Coates did (T’Challa outshined by new side characters, Orisha origins, etc.) Obviously nothin is confirmed but Okorafor is to me the most likely follow up.
