We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
That would’ve not only worked, it would’ve directly tied to the MCU, making it an easy jumping on pony for new fans . MCU Shuri is still a teenager at the moment.
Her reminiscing of her younger days in the comics and tying it back to the present would’ve been a great way to bring all together.
Speaking of which, how does her mind land into another person? Via tech or her powers (if she still has them)? Obviously the book will explain that but that is some crazy stuff.
Art looks promising, but the execution of the story? Looking kinda shakey so far.
The one thing that has been consistent for the past 2.5 years = great covers.
I don't think this is about tech, as the solicit specifically mentions ''Wakandan magic'' and astral projection is known to be a classic Doctor Strange skill. And the concept of one's mind landing on someone else's body is really not that foreign, specially in the Marvel Universe. I think any major telepath/psychic has had a story like this before. I mean, even outside of Marvel this is a thing. I don't know if you ever read/watched Naruto, but the Yamanaka clan has a special powerset focused on mind powers, including casting their minds on other people's bodies. So yeah, at least to me, it's really not that strange or surprising. I think the fact her mind ended up on Groot of all people is the most surprising thing, but not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, I liked the solicit. It's nice to know Nnedi is exploring and expanding Shuri's powers.
I should’ve clarified: crazy in Shuri’s case, being that it’ll be the first time we’ll see her do such a thing. Closest we had was her controlling Wakandan corpses via Griot powers.
That said, the issue will surely explain how it will all go down, so I’ll be on wait-and-see mode on that front.
Pics of Shuri in Avengers: Black Panther’s Quest. Premiers tonight at 9pm eastern on Disney XD.
Saw the first two episodes of Black Panther’s Quest. Very good start with lots of potential down the line.
Portrayal of each character were well done too, imho.
Final variant covers of Shuri #1 are out. Looks like Shuri still has her Griot powers.

Shuri is making noise in multimedia. How long till the comic version pivots to be more like the movie and cartoon vision.

I like what I'm "seeing". The close ups are is ???, but the background and wide shots are great. She definantly turned back the clock on her personality. She talks like a pouty teenager. You'd think she didn't spend anytime with "Mother", but somehow got those powers. lol. And it looks like she can use them without turning her hair white. Good call.
