SHURI LAYING THE SMACKDOWN ON THOSE SMUG DORA bytchES AND PUTTING THEM IN THEIR PLACE
Shuri: So you jambazi bytches thought you could get away with trying to overthrow the kingdom, huh?
Dora's :
WAIT... QUEEN SHURI WE DIDN'T MEAN TO--
Shuri: You either get down, or you lay down...
The Dora's: But you won't you eventually have us arrested and have tried and convicted for treason?
Shuri: Yes.. and..?
The Dora's:
Finally seeing them getting taken down a peg by the one and only Queen of Wakanda after all their meandering and chest-beating.
Shuri out here acting more wiser T'challa in the span of mere minutes of stepping out the chamber. The Djalia really turned her into a Super Saiyan Wakandan. i can see her commanding over the final fight. She's come a long way, Coates is doing a good job of progressing her characther.
I wonder if the royal council will stick to charging them with treason after all of this is over?
And yeah this was easily one of the strongest issues in this entire arc. Everything was on point. A real page turner, where you felt the weight of anticipation in every scene. Coates' dialogue is really the backbone of the intrigue here, it's so top-notch it's crazy. Everything goes right thematically like
@Realdealholy says out. Faintly dissapointed action is not one Coates' strong suits.
But as a political thriller -- and as something that delves deeply into the heart of Wakanda, make no mistake this book succeeds.
Next issue is finally the beginning of the end.
