When you don't have a writer on the book because the main writer has walked off AND you don't have a replacement? That book IS CANCELLED. Period.

From the article:

"No, [Shuri] was not 'cancelled'," Okorafor explained on her personal Twitter. "I gave Marvel notice months ago that I couldn't continue because I'm writing the pilots for the Amazon TV series Wild Seed and another TV series I can't announce and a novel, etc."

Unless Marvel decides it is, I’ll take a Shuri solo over the mutant folks want pushed as the premier black woman at Marvel.

Sounds like an opportunity to submit your request to pen this title, fellas...~

With proper marketin and plot, I think Shuri would make a good middle school level novel series. Except I'd add one page illustrations every few chapters to help with visuals

An opportunity to get Shuri back to her pre Coates version is in order. She needs a solid role and needs to be treated and act as a 20 something year old groomed as a royal, and not as some teenage woe is me

To some people, that would start a war, but I haven't seen him post around here in a long time.

I never saw that as a either/or proposition. I think that whole notion is a false dichotomy. Just as we don't have to choose between say a Captain Marvel or Black Widow solo? We shouldn't have to choose between a Shuri or Storm solo. Both are outstanding and both should have top writers with top artists selling thousands of copies per month on the shelves right now.

But that's NOT happening. And we know why, don't we? Has zero to do with any of the characters listed above. It's not just Marvel, the writers and artists...it's primarily the White male dominated comic book audience. Despite the smashing success that each of these characters have had in film? The predominant demographic for comic books remains White males. Boys to men...not Boys II Men.

 For the record, I could see Hellcat and Mockingbird doing very well as street level characters, and Fallon Grey...daughter of BLADE...absolutely wrecking shop, too. I think that I could write either of those 3 ladies pretty well, but I think that women who are proven comic book writers should write these 3 first. And preferably a Black woman for Fallon. If not? I think that Ann Nocenti could crush a maxiseries featuring any of the above 3 women.
