I hadn’t realized this was the second and final (?) volume of Shuri’s adventures. Still, without having read the first volume, I caught on quickly to the story. The idea of a battle with a funky, music-loving bug was quirky but not at all bad. I would’ve been interested in reading more of Shuri’s struggles with being the black panther and an engineer and a princess.

One question: Why is everyone looking so doggone old in this? Stop with the forehead wrinkles. It’s giving the characters that Knuckles the Echidna look. SN: I didn’t like the constant lighting in the second story. It was just too bright especially on the characters’ skin at times.

Anyway, I enjoyed Shuri and Miles (and later Ms Marvel) teaming up, and the color direction. When there’s pink or purple, it’s really beautiful here. The volume's last ending lines are predictable, but a satisfying touch to end the story.
