Black Panther Shuri-The Deadliest of the Species COMIC BOOK REVIEW

Audio Version

YouTube Version

Inspired by a Tik Tok user, I read Black Panther Shuri-Deadliest of the Species on Comixology.

I posted a short review of the 'Wakanda Forever film on Tik Tok. A viewer tagged user @kingandqueenlion in the comments section of that video. @kingandqueenlion responded to other fan reviews by going into Shuri's backstory and mentioning this book.

In this story, T'challa is mortally wounded while going against Doctor Doom. As a result, his soul goes into limbo and combats Death itself. However, unbeknownst to his wife, Ororo(X-Men's Storm), she refuses to give up and tries to bring him back to life by making a deal with a sorcerer who can't seem to be trusted.

All the while, a powerful ancient enemy Morlun (the central villain from Marvel Comics 2014 Spider-Verse storyline), is resurrected and invades Wakanda. Shuri has trained to become the Black Panther all her life but is conflicted between her older brother's current state, her mother's(Ramonda) expectations, and taking up the mantle of the new Black Panther.

Shuri is fantastic in this comic and portrayed differently than in the movies. In the MCU, she's an uber-intelligent scientist warrior. Here Shuri's an elite warrior princess.

Also, the men in this book are not emasculated as in Wakanda Forever(find more of my review here).

Reginald Hudlin wrote this story. A filmmaker who's made several cult hits I've watched over the years, like Eddie Murphy's 'Boomerang,' 'House Party,' and 'The Ladies Man.' In 2020, I watched and found fascinating 'The Black Godfather' documentary on Netflix, and after researching, Mr. Hudlin discovered that he directed that too!

Thrilling, fulfilling story not to be missed.

Podcast: Talking Video Games and Making a Beat-December 2025 podcast & videos

In this episode, I dive into the excitement around Valve’s newly announced Steam Machine and what it could mean for the future of handheld gaming. I talk about the rise of hybrid console–portable systems, why shorter and more interactive games fit better into my life now, and why the GTA VI delay honestly doesn’t bother me. I also break down the controversy surrounding Rockstar’s recent employee firings and share my thoughts on the gaming community’s obsession with nostalgia. It’s a mix of tech talk, gaming culture, and personal reflections on how I play today. Finally after a work injury kept me home for three months(late last year), I dove into music production, inspired by Marc Rebillet’s improvisational style and the gear he uses. In this episode, I share the audio from my first beat video using this gear. To see/read the articles and videos on these topics, you can find the gaming article here. The beat making post on here. Thoughts, comments, do so below. ...

Recommended Movies & TV. June-December 2022 and Overall Favorites of 2022.

Check out this episode! YouTube Version These are my favorite movies and TV show from June-December 2022. June Insidious 1 & 2 (Amazon & Netflix) I'd never seen the Insidious movies. However, my younger brother watched them and told me they were creepy(which piqued my interest). In June, the first part was available on Prime Video, and the sequel and third films were on Netflix. I binged all three, but I preferred the first two as they wrapped up the Lambert family storyline. Black Phone (movies) The next Blumhouse movie on this list. The movie pundits I follow talked about this Black Phone's great word of mouth from early screenings. Saw this in theaters and was amazed at Ethan Hawke's villainous performance. His 2nd turn as a bad guy in 2022(first in Moon Knight on Disney+ months earlier, but much better here). Umbrella Academy S3 (Netflix) I like the Umbrella Academy and its different take on the superhero genre. The protagonist dysfunctional family consists o...
