Which is fine. But don't solicit it as a spy book!
"BLACK PANTHER AND THE AGENTS OF WAKANDA is Kirby-fueled Mission: Impossible in the Marvel Universe. "
That's right out of Zub's mouth: https://www.marvel.com/articles/comi...-wakanda-unite
Another line:
"Under Okoye’s supervision, this cadre is tasked with dangerous quick response missions on Earth or even in other realities, gathering information about and defending the planet from threats both known and unknown."
Does that sound at ALL like what we got?
I thought low BP sales numbers were all due to Coates' writing?????
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
This is my thinking as well.
We just had the Black Panther movie showing Wakandan cells all over the world keeping an eye on the current geopolitics so they're never not in the know - then in this book we "Agents of Wakanda" going around doing what exactly?
It felt more like a joke book than a serious spy thriller, I wish it was more like Hickman's Secret Warriors and maybe even connect to that series.
They could have had a secret Wakandan Leviathan secretly working against European colonists and keeping Da Vinci in check (because let's admit it Secret Warriors is Eurocentric as all hell).
The potential for a series like this is infinite but they dropped the ball so hard.
This was never a Wakanda book even though Black Panther was basically the main character who founded the team, it was basically an Avengers spinoff of characters Aaron set up for the most part.
In that respect it was probably as good as it could've been.
