Quick recap

Wakanda is in crisis. A foreign attack has left the country wounded, T'Challa's sister Shuri hangs between life and death, and the people are losing faith in their king. Zenzi, a woman who stirs rage in anyone who hears her, and the rebel Tetu, backed from outside, ignite an uprising. Ayo and Aneka of the Dora Milaje break with the crown after being punished for protecting women, and strike out on their own as the Midnight Angels. Meanwhile, Shuri's soul wanders Djalia, Wakanda's ancestral memory. The story ends with Wakanda becoming a constitutional monarchy, with T'Challa more of a symbolic king than a ruler.
