I think part of the problem is that one of Coates' writing issues (and there are SO many) is a lack of a sense of scope. Just like the Wakandan forces are a bunch of guys with guns, and "The People" were like a dozen guys with spears... when the story requires something epic or grand, his pedestrian approach undercuts the plot.
I mean, look at the "armada" last issue. Five "Zulu flights" which is between 15-30 fighters, and 3 flagships. Hardly an armada.
