dogunderwater 's review for:

Wakanda Forever by Nnedi Okorafor

2.0

---

I did not love this -- while it's got a good hook (what happened to Malice?) I think Nakia was ill-served by both the story and the art going on here. What a waste of an interesting narrative thread. And despite being a tie-in to other characters in the world, the Avengers don't really...do much here, so why is it an Avengers book rather than just a coda to World of Wakanda? I don't know, but while I enjoyed stuff like the Dora Milaje doing tourist shit in NYC or handing out with Storm, the main story felt rushed and totally pat in a way that was at odds with the characters. Nakia being this love-sick over Black Panther, still, after all these years? Eh, I guess.
