I'm still pretty new to Black Panther, having seen the movie and read exactly one comic book in the Rise of the Black Panther series. I feel like I'm missing something. Why is Shuri the queen now? And what happened to her? I feel like I'd have appreciated this more if I knew more about the background story. I liked Ayo and Aneka's love story, especially the end, but clearly I need to brush up on my Wakandan history.

Full transparency: I'm not a superheroes comic person, and I read this because I said I would, for work. Appreciate the f/f romance, but since I don't have the Wakanda history, aside from seeing the Black Panther movie, this was disjointed and difficult to follow. Definitely doesn't work as a stand-alone, imo.

Interesting, but overly dense in all it sets up. Plot points lack finesse while character work is conversely strong. Took me a long time to finish this and I don’t think I’ll be reading more.

Gay and Harvey are off to a good start. Looking for to seeing what'll be next for Ayo, Folami and the rest of the Dora Milaje.

All I wanted was MORE Ayo and Aneka. So much that I resented the other story lines and really could have lived without them.

Snapshots of life as a Dora Milaje and the beginning of a romance between two of the formidable women among them.
While it was interesting getting a glimpse of this aspect of Wakanda, I'm not sure if I'm interested enough to keep reading this series.
