Black Panther #7 benefits from a renewed sense of urgency. From the Crew's attack on Stane, to Shuri taking the lead in her quest for self-discovery, to Changamire and Tetu pleading for one another's allegiance, the issue builds momentum for the series. Chris Sprouse, Laura Martin, and Karl Story bring out each other's strengths for a visually dynamic issue that brilliantly gives life to Ta-Nehisi Coates' dramatic script. Read Full Review

Action comes into play big-time, and it makes a great change. Not that we're sick of the deep and meaningful elements of previous episodes, but nothing beats seeing Black Panther and friends in action. Read Full Review

A little bit slower plotting this time around and a fun reunion colors this issue. Black Panther is still building upon the movements of the seen and unseen threats to Wakanda, but it looks like at least T'Challa has some back-up. Read Full Review

This issue is merely setting the stage for bigger things, but it does so in stellar fashion. Read Full Review

While Black Panther has always been a worthwhile read, it's been firing on all cylinders since Zeke Stane was added as a main cast member. He's helped to show that the prose like dialogue evident in the first four issues is a Wakandan trait over part of Coates' style and that's proven further here. Read Full Review

Black Panther continues to be one of the more interesting books out there, it is really engaging thematically and recently it has managed to couple that with being more consistently fun. However, I found the art to be a bit lacking in this issue. Read Full Review

All in all this issue was very uneven. The T'challa part was awesome. The Dajia partwas neat. The whole revolutionary part was weird and like last arc came off preachy.The weird part is, is I don't exactly know what he was trying to preach about. It is likeseeing a man on a soapbox on the corner yelling something but he is talking in adifferent language, a language I do not understand. As always the art is really good thisissue so hopefully this whole revolution part can get done and over with because it isterrible. Read Full Review

This series is really different, the pacing is not conventional but the story continues to be interesting.

The banter between the Crew is insufferable, but the showdown between T'Challa and Ezekiel is kick ass. I like philosophy time with Baba, but story time with Shuri is getting tiresome. How many more pages is Coates going to piss away on telling myths to Shuri, is there a point?

Terrible action on an otherwise fine issue
