Honestly, the story is just plodding. You get the sense that Coates is doing some good world-building but in all that exposition, the actual stories themselves are frequently gummed up in monologues. Case in point: T'Challa spends several pages travelling in an astral/dream plane to save Shuri, and he just keeps talking and talking to himself.

The real saving grace is that Wakanda is in a sense the most interesting character in the book.

Everyone thinks The Watchmen or The Dark Knight Returns are subversive deconstructions of the superhero genre. Frankly, neither holds a candle to John Ridley's masterful approach to setting golden and now silver-age characters in a world that isn't colourblind. Stunning stuff, both for how topical it is in an era of racist pushback but also for how it inevitably calls out how comics are rarely ever "woke" in any meaningful sense.
