Shuri #4

Shuri soars above jagged rock formations on this breathtaking cover by Sam Spratt, her great white wings spread wide as black birds wheel through a pale blue sky around her — the continent of Africa faintly visible in the clouds below. Nnedi Okorafor's script, brought to life by Leonardo Romero and colorist Jordie Bellaire, takes Wakanda's brilliant princess on a journey suggested by the story's evocative title, "Timbuktu." It's a 2019 Marvel series that pairs stunning visual craft with one of science fiction's most exciting literary voices.
