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.

Fantastic Four: First Steps-Out of the Theater Quick Review

Jason and I give our quick review of  Fantastic Four: First Steps.  We both gave it a  rating of 7.9/10 . We praise the movie’s stunning production design, visuals (especially Galactus and The Thing), and soundtrack. Pedro Pascal stood out as Reed Richards, and the Silver Surfer was a highlight. While the film lacked some character depth and suspense, we still considered it the best Marvel movie of the year so far — surpassing  Brave New World  and  Thunderbolts. There were  two post-credit scenes: one worthwhile, one forgettable. Here's our out of the theater review A longer podcast spoiler review is coming soon.

Weapons Movie Review-Was it better than Barbarian?

YouTube Video Weapons   by Zach Cregger was a solid horror film, especially for fans of face mutilation and suspense. While the twist didn’t fully land for me, the movie picked up after a slow start and became quite engaging. I really enjoyed the eerie electronic score during tense moments and thought the cast was strong—The characters and actors playing Gladys and Alex were standout performances. The multi-perspective storytelling around 17 missing kids added depth, and I liked how it wrapped up. Not as strong as   Barbarian , but still a very good film—I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. Please post your thoughts, comments, down below. Find more of my movie reviews here.
