Son frère T’Challa perdu dans l’espace, Shuri va devoir choisir entre ses devoirs envers sa patrie et ses propres idéaux. Mais la princesse se sent beaucoup plus à sa place dans son laboratoire que sur le trône du Wakanda…
Marvel annonce pour le mois d’octobre un titre dédié à Shuri, la soeur de Black Panther. L’équipe créative est composée de Nnedi Okorafor (Wakanda Forever) au scénario et Leonardo Romero (Hawkeye) aux dessins.
Nnedi Okorafor : « Shuri is an African young woman of genius level intelligence who is obsessed with technology and has traveled spiritually so far into the past that she’s seen Wakanda before it was Wakanda. The Ancestors call her Ancient Future. And she’s super ambitious. What do I love about her? All that and more. She’s a character in the Marvel Universe who really sings to me. »
Ci-dessous, les couvertures du #1 par Sam Spratt et Carlos Pacheco :
La mini-série va sûrement s’occuper d’un changement, entre ce qu’on connaissait avant et la version si populaire du film.
Après, Shuri était morte et est revenue dans le récent volume de Black Panther ; un changement d’orientation lié à ce drame ne serait pas incompréhensible… même si très commerciale et cynique.
Description: The world fell in love with her in the movie. Now, the Black Panther’s techno-genius sister launches her own adventures – written by best-selling Afrofuturist author Nnedi Okorafor and drawn by Leonardo Romero! The Black Panther has disappeared, lost on a mission in space. And in his absence, everyone’s looking at the next in line for the throne. But Shuri is happiest in a lab, surrounded by gadgets of her own creation. She’d rather be testing gauntlets than throwing them. But a nation without a leader is a vulnerable one - and Shuri may have to choose between Wakanda’s welfare and her own.
Description: The search for T’Challa begins! The king of Wakanda has been missing for weeks. Now, his little sister is tired of waiting. It’s time for Shuri – with a little help from Storm of the X-Men – to go save her brother for what must be the millionth time. But Wakanda expects the princess to take the throne – and the Panther mantle – once again. Can Wakanda survive without a Black Panther? Can Shuri?
In the pages of Shuri, writer Nnedi Okorafor, artist Leonardo Romero, and colorist Jordie Bellaire have crafted a compelling tale of Shuri taking on new responsibility in her brother’s absence.

WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT IN WAKANDA…Shuri’s returned from her space adventure with Rocket and Groot — but she’s brought something back with her. And now, centuries-old music and stories are disappearing across Africa. Something is stealing the continent’s cultural history — and its electrical power. Then, as if the heir to the throne didn’t have enough on her plate, a mysterious envoy arrives, and they’re looking for the Black Panther. Life as the princess of Wakanda just got a lot more complicated!
Description: An alien creature has invaded Wakanda! And with her powers strangely malfunctioning and her brother still missing, Shuri is in over her head. Time to call for backup. Enter: Iron Man! But can these two tech geniuses figure out how to de-power an energy-sucking alien before it destroys the entire continent? The end of the first arc - and a dramatic change for the princess of Wakanda!
At long last, Shuri faces her destiny. With her brother gone and Wakanda in peril, the Black Panther is needed. But the Princess of Wakanda is more than any mask — and she’s about to face a threat unlike any Wakanda has seen before.

Description: All of Wakandan history and culture is under threat as the Space Lubber that followed Shuri all the way from the depths of space back to Wakanda makes its move! To stop it, Shuri and her allies will have to go deep into the Vibranium mines - which doesn’t sit well with the claustrophobic Storm!
Ce que j’ai compris, c’est qu’elle a raconté l’histoire qu’elle avait à raconter et que le titre n’est donc pas « annulé » pour les raisons habituelles (comme les mauvaises ventes). Mais Shuri n’est plus sollicité depuis le #10 qui sort en juillet, donc le titre s’arrête bien.
Le problème avec Marvel, c’est que l’éditeur reste très souvent flou concernant l’arrêt des séries, contrairement à DC qui met un « FINAL ISSUE » à chaque fois dans les sollicitations. Et si ils savaient que Nnedi Okorafor avait prévu son départ depuis longtemps (car elle écrit aussi pour la TV et prépare un nouveau roman), ils auraient pu communiquer un peu plus dessus.
