Ta-Nehisi Coates once again proves that he was just about the perfect choice to take on Black Panther. With good character moments, an enthralling plot, and a protagonist who is easily among the coolest and most interesting heroes of both of the Big Twos gallery of heroes, Black Panther #16 easily earns its recommendation.

Great issue.
We're witnessing Wakanda's first attempts to convert to a constitutional monarchy, which is interesting. Nice job developing Thunderball into a relatable character out of the blue.
T'Challa leaves his god-problems on the back burner with Storm while he hunts for the abducted Asira. Beating up the Fenris twins is great fun, and he also gives a pretty awesome "you're better than this" speech to Thunderball, whom we're all more likely to think of as "Dr. Eliot Franklin" now. The cool superheroing is dragged down by a committee scene, because Ta-Nehisi Coates, and the art is a little disjointed. I have a tendency to blather about "good storytelling flow" when I talk about comics art. What does "good flow" mean? Mainly that moving from panel to panel *doesn't* leave you confused and lost, and unfortunately that's a pitfall Chris Sprouse's art falls into a few times this month.
