I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Shuri Vol 1: The Search For Black Panther by Nnedi Okorafor (Writer), Leonardo Romero ( Artist), Jordie Bellaire ( Colorist), VC's Joe Sabino (Letterer)


Shuri built a spaceship for T'Challa and Manifold, for whom she has feelings for, to go into space and do some exploring.  She noted that they went into a wormhole and disappeared and now it's been two weeks and she hasn't heard from them. Her mother convenes the Elephant's Trunk, a group of strong women, who will make their decision about what to do and take it to the council. They have decided that Shuri must take up the mantle of the Black Panther again but she doesn't want to.  She's much happier trying to find them and working with the mysterious Muti who seems to know everything and how to do d everyone.
Shuri is attached to the ancestors and they advise her in matterns. Right now they are telling Shuri to go with Storm, T'Challa's wife and head out to the Mute area. Once they get there they are told by a woman of another way to reach the two men by means of astral projection by a baobob  tree.  Storm provides the needed current and Shuri goes on the journey. But Shuri doesn't go alone. A sleeping young girl under the tree winds up taking the journey too in another form.  They wind up in a spaceship with Rocket and Groot.

Will Shuri and the girl make it back in one piece?  Will Shuri see her brother? What will the consequences of this trip have for Wakanda?  Can Shuri ever realize that she needs to take up the mantle no matter how much she doesn't want to?  This was a fantastic comic!  I love Shuri as a character and it's great for her to get her own book.  I also found out that you can send data through a light fixture meaning you could, if you needed to tell people over a light fixture to leave a building if something was wrong.  That's what I love about Shuri. She's so smart and she knows others who are also smart who can help her.  I give this book five out of five stars.
