Shuri and T'Challa set out to remove a curse from Wakanda in this action-packed, totally original graphic novel!
Twelve-year-old Shuri is a lot of things. Scientist. Princess. All around cooler person than her pain-in-the-butt big brother, T'Challa. Shuri knows she could do so much more to help Wakanda, but everyone is obsessed with the prince because he's the next Black Panther. That is, until Soul Washing Day, one of the most important rituals of Wakandan society.
When an argument between T'Challa and Shuri leads to one of Shuri's inventions accidentally destroying the sacred ceremony site, chaos reigns instead of prosperity. Suddenly the people of Wakanda, including her mother the queen, are becoming sick! Could this be a curse from the ancestors? Desperate to save her mother, Shuri dives into research and finds an answer hidden deep in an ancient children's myth. It may be nothing more than a fantasy, but with the sickness spreading each day, the young princess must trust her instincts and travel deep into the mysterious Heartlands to save her family and her kingdom.
Joining Shuri on her journey is none other than a meddling T'Challa. If Shuri and T'Challa can set aside their jealousy and resentment of each other long enough to survive this journey, they might just discover that they are far more powerful together than they could ever be apart. But if they can't face their fears in the Heartlands and lift the so-called curse, it may not be just the end for their family, but the end of Wakanda as they know it. No pressure, right?

by Carolyn Cocca (Author)
This book explores representations of Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel in comics and film, as well as political struggles over these works, to illuminate contemporary cultural concerns about gender, sexuality, race, migration, imperialism, and war.
It focuses on the only two female superheroes who have long histories grounded in feminist activism and military service, and who have starred in blockbuster origin films at a time when resurgent progressive activism has been met by an emboldened backlash against movements for equality. Interdisciplinary and intersectional, the book employs insights from political science and political economy, feminist theories, critical race theory, postcolonial theory, and queer theory to explore how these characters' feminism and militarism render them particularly appealing and profitable in contentious times.
This is a concise, accessible text suitable for students and scholars in comics studies, media studies, film studies, and women's and gender studies.

Inspired by the hit podcast The Women of Marvel and cowritten by the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures, this eye-opening and engaging book celebrates the women who have helped make Marvel one of the most successful comics and entertainment companies in the world.

by Mark D. White (Author)
Matthew Murdock is a man of contrasts. He was raised in poverty and grew up to become a lawyer, thanks to his single father, a boxer and part-time mob enforcer who pushed his son to study rather than fight. Blinded by a freak accident that also heightened his other senses, Matt acquired a range and depth of perception that sighted people can only dream of. Together with fighting skills acquired in violation of his father's wishes, he uses his enhanced senses to fight crime as the costumed hero Daredevil, the Man without Fear, who regularly violates laws he has sworn to uphold as a member of the bar.
In this book, philosopher Mark D. White explores the moral character and behavior of Daredevil, one of the most intriguing and dramatic characters in superhero comics. Focusing on his earliest stories, from 1964's Daredevil #1 to 1986's "Born Again" storyline, we'll ask who Matt Murdock is and why he does the things he does, in terms of both motivation and the basic character traits that influence his choices. We'll examine Matt's belief in the importance of rules, the role of promises in his life, and his sense of responsibility, each of which he tends to take farther than he should. We'll discuss how he balances his personal devotion to the law with his nocturnal activities, and we'll follow him as he becomes more violent, crossing the line into torture, but avoiding killing (for the most part). Most generally, we'll watch as he gradually starts to come apart at the seams, the roots of which appear early on but intensify as the years go on, reaching a climax as his life is completely dismantled in "Born Again" with the help of one of his greatest foes-and one of his closest friends.
Written to appeal to newcomers to both comics and philosophy, A Philosopher Reads Marvel Comics' Daredevil is the perfect introduction to how Matt Murdock developed over his first several decades to become a superstar of comics, TV, and movies today. His story can also provide a way for us to think about how we deal with our own internal conflicts and contrasts-without ever having to put on a skintight red costume!

We all know the Mighty Thor: Prince of Asgard, son of Odin the AllFather, and God of Thunder. He has long been one of the few worthy to wield the mystic hammer Mjolnir... until, one day, he is not. Soon, a new Thor emerges, a woman who commands the thunder and the hammer in ways all her own. She is none other than Jane Foster, who shares a long history with the Odinson, and as she learns to be her own version of the Mighty Thor, the Odinson can only watch and wonder why he is no longer worthy.
This is not just the story of two Thors. This is a tale of worthiness: what it means, how it can be lost, and how one can reclaim it. This is the journey of a godprince, born and raised to be a hero who wields the ultimate weapon, who suddenly finds himself struggling to relearn who he is and what it means to be a god. This is also the adventure of a nurse who once loved that same god, who one day was summoned by a familiar hammer to become a god. At the same time, she battles the scourge of cancer as Jane Foster, and before long the two struggles become irreconcilable, forcing her to choose between godhood and her humanity.
This book introduces you to the world of Thor and leads you through the legendary saga of Jane and the Odinson, written by Jason Aaron and drawn by Esad Ribic, Russell Dauterman, and many others. Along the way, White draws on Western and Eastern thought, ethics and existentialism, as he explores the philosophy of selfworth and worthiness, as well as questioning the nature of gods in the Marvel Universe.
Written in his characteristic light style, A Philosopher Reads Marvel Comics' Thor is the perfect mix of superheroes and philosophy, accessible to new fans as well as experienced Asgardian travellers.
