Shuri was one of my standout favorites from the Black Panther film, so the fact that she gets her own comic series meant this was a no-brainer for me. I loved seeing her holding her own alongside Ramonda, Okoye, Storm, and Iron Man after her brother disappeared into space. The story was excellent and the various covers were all stunning. Looking forward to the next collection!

Okay this was pretty fantastic! I've been putting off reading this for a while because superhero comics are always hit or miss (so much lore, strange recaps in dialogue that always confuses me, more tell than show, etc) but this was really, really good.I love Shuri, and I love her even more now.

"I still don't know where my brother is. And . . . there's now a giant electricity-eating bug heading for Wakanda." (pause) "One disaster at a time." -- Shuri, just having another 'one of those days'Charming and energetic tale starring Black Panther's younger sister, the technological genius and adventure-seeking youngest sibling in Wakanda's royal family. (Shuri was played to perfection in the 2018 big-screen Black Panther feature by the adorable Letitia Wright, and she also had quick cameo app...

Fun story of Shuri having to deal with her brother's disappearance after he goes to space with another superhero, Manifold. Everyone wants Shuri to assume the Black Panther mantle while T'Challa is away/lost, and she just wants to do things her way. She has a series of adventures, dealing with problems, and runs into Rocket and Groot (it was cool reading what Groot actually means when he talks!)I was a little lost as I haven't read the preceding Wakanda stories, but Shuri's a favourite of mine,

Another Marvel character receives a minor re-boot as the company syncs the character's comics and movie continuity (which from a business perspective is a good idea).And, for me the reboot works. I've read one prior TPB when Shuri was the Black Panther. Shuri's portrayal didn't work for me at all. That Shuri came off as hot-headed, immature, and in many ways not effective.The movie plus a change in writers breathes much needed new life in the portrayal of the character. Much like the movie Okorf...

2.5🌟I was intrigued since I've been meaning to listen to Okorafor's Binti stories on audio for a while. Unfortunately I found this on the boring side. There wasn't much meat to the story, however there were some fun ideas along the way and there was work put into building Shuri up as a character. There is a decent foundation for future volumes. We need to find out where T'challa and Manifold disappeared to. Shuri has employed the likes of Tony Stark and Rocket. Let's see if they can come up with...

Comics just aren't my thing. This was fine but I need more words and I just don't look at the illustrations enough.

A favorite character from the film The Black Panther, Shuri is T’Challa’s science/techno phenom sister, and the character Nigerian-American, Afro-futurist magical fantasy writer Nnedi Okorafor creates is both consistent with that film version, a good thing, and something like Binti from her now non-comics series. On a space mission T'Challah and Manifold disappear, and Princess Shuri has to decide what her primary responsibility at the moment is: Sister, scientist, public leader? Wakanda expects...

If Shuri is one of your favourite characters in 'Black Panther', if not the number one fave, then check out her solo comic series, which she has well earned. Marvel is taking the right step in putting more female POC characters in the spotlight. Written by acclaimed writer Nnedi Okorafor, 'Shuri, Vol. 1: The Search For Black Panther' is fun, spiritual, political, and intellectual. It showcases Shuri's can-do attitude and tech wizardry (as well as the gauntlets, she has invented silver wings that...

This isn't for me, and that's fine. I'm sure this was great for someone else. I don't know a lot about what went on in Wakanda post Infinity/Avengers World where T'Challa was King of the Dead and the Dora rose up against him. I really enjoyed World of Wakanda. Honestly, that book was my first real comic intro to ladies in BP's world and is one of the best books I've read, to be honest. All this to say, I didn't know exactly what was going on in Wakanda when I picked this up. This book does a pre...

This was OK. Shuri as a character is very likable, and the art is done in a style that I like. However, the story is basically about finding her brother (with no results) and fighting a giant space bug (not a very interesting antagonist). To offset that, this volume has some of the most beautiful comics covers I've seen in a long time.

Aww man, I was REALLY excited for this book. I love Shuri and the other characters that have been developed for so long and recently leveled-up by Ta Nehisi-Coates. The character design and art are great. Sadly, I can't even give this two measly stars, it had me rolling my eyes and blowing raspberries in the air in disappointment so much by the end. I'm okay with superhero comic books aiming for entry-level accessibility and making some movie tie-ins, but this whole story is very much like the s...

Black Panther disappears in a wormhole leaving Shuri to fill in as Wakanda's protector, I guess. The story just kinds of meanders from meaningless distraction to meaningless distraction. The worst was when Shuri astral projects into Groot. The big villain of this book seems to be a giant space grasshopper. Certainly not very interesting. Leonardo Romero's art is very plain and bland. I have to consider this a disappointment given the big time novelist writing it.

Shuri vol 1 is about one of the two Disney princesses that everyone loves (the other is Leia). While set in the comic world and drawing upon the Coates run of Panther, Okorafor manages to give Shuri some of that zest and love for life that the character has in the movies. Additionally, Okorafor continues the examination of power and place that Coates had in Nation Under Our Feet.When Black Panther goes missing (because, you know, have a king, even a symbolic one, test fly a space ship is a good

I seem to be the only one not liking this. The art just isnt detailed enough. Its like its been drawn for children. The plot just either goes really weird or nowhere. I mean Groot wtf.

Overall, I'm enjoying Okorafor's comic books, but this is her least successful for me so far. With all the running around, slam-bang adventure, and exposition-heavy introduction of side characters, I just felt Shuri's personality fell through the cracks. Nothing in here really got me to root for her as the star of the book. Maybe next volume...

Although this is listed as Volume 1 it appears to take place within a larger ongoing story involving Black Panther, Manifold, space travel for some secret-to-me purpose, some villain I'd never heard of named Moses Magnum, and other stuff. So, it would probably help to have been reading along and not just pick up this book because you like Shuri and/or Nnedi Okorafor.That said, there were lots of fun things going on (almost too many, perhaps). There were multiple relationships, romantic and famil...

This was an entertaining read. Shuri and a number of characters associated with Black Panther come along for the ride. I'm afraid they are trying to make this character into the movie version. Otherwise good super heroic stuff!

When T'Challah and Manifold go missing during a space mission, Princess Shuri is desperate to locate them before the world learns that Black Panther has disappeared, which would put the safety of Wakanda at risk. Shuri must make some tough decisions to protect her country and her family while searching for her brother.With a little help from Storm and some guest appearances by Rocket, Groot, and Iron Man, Shuri begins an epic journey with guidance from the ancient ones and kicks some butt along

From the pages of Black Panther: It's Shuri!This was fun. The Black Panther goes missing while on a space mission investigating a wormhole. I know he’ll be back. You know he’ll be back. Shuri certainly knows he’ll be back. But the pressure’s on from multiple fronts--including her mother--to fill in as the new Black Panther until he returns. What's the worst that could happen? Of course the last time she filled in for him she, you know, DIED.Did you really expect the story to start at the beginni...
