Cabal and Landini deliver some great visuals in the issue. The art has a great energy and quality to its details while also giving the characters the ability to shine on the page. A great looking issue that captures the thrills of the story perfectly. Read Full Review
As more pieces of the assassination-filled puzzle are revealed, Black Panther and his allies find themselves being pulled deeper into a web of deceit partially of their own making. Framing a Black Panther series as a spy and political thriller is a great move and breathes some very different life into the character and his world. Read Full Review
Black Panther #5kicks the series' ongoing story into high gear, showing the cost of the King of Wakanda's subterfuge. With the end of the issue shaking up everything fans know about Wakanda, the Black Panther's status quo is an entirely new place, and that makes for some interesting stories. Read Full Review
Black Panther #5 masterfully captures the paranoia inherent in conspiracy thrillers but seemingly forgets to do the detecting legwork. Still, the dramatic tension never lets up, and the visuals hold your attention throughout. Read Full Review
Black Panther #5 provides some twists and turns, but the story's pacing is removing a lot of the bite. Read Full Review
This arc has been a slow burn, but what a mighty blaze it pays off with here!
The script is perfectly paced; thrilling. All of the dialogue is at least solid, and there are some real stand-out lines.
On the visual side, the two artists collaborate on a very consistent style. Blocking is excellent and I love the facial expressions. I think there was room for a little more detail overall, though.
Finally, Wakanda went full Canada.
Another really interesting issue from Ridley & Cabal. I think Ridley has continuously done a really nice job of building the tension amongst these characters and the situation as a whole. I like Cabal's smooth art, but Ridley's writing is the strongest aspect of this book, for me.
This is a great setup. If Ridley can pull this type of arc off were in for a good one
