Shuri (2018-) #1 by Nnedi Okorafor

3.0

The start of a new series, and I liked it. I have to say I'm not particularly interested in Shuri's feelings of irritation at being compared to her brother - I mean, it's a common enough storyline and I feel like I've read it too often, even reflective of real life as it often is. I much prefer the joy Shuri takes in science (the "little Saurons" made me laugh). The most interesting thing here, though, was the Elephant's Trunk: the deliberately diverse group of women gathered to shape policy behind the scenes. That's something I'm particularly interested in reading more about.
