Rated T
The interactions between all the characters at this point is interesting. Who can we trust, how many secrets will make themselves known. Hard truths become harder when they have been plucked from your psyche or withheld from your reach. Read Full Review
Theres a lot going on in Black Panther #11, but its all easy to follow and much of it fills you with hope and uncertainty. Read Full Review
On the real, so much culture is woven into this story and this world that the homework done alone needs to applauded. Do you know how much research this takes? From the macro of naming areas of this fictional galaxy after fictional Wakandan legends to the micro of naming a minor character after a real-life Nigerian author to the meta of Coates naming this arc after his December 2009 Atlantic article"about finding his name. Some folks might not dig it, but I'm here for it. Read Full Review
It's a heavyweight for a single issue bear and a bit exhausting by the end, but it seems the story is poised to enter its final act. Read Full Review
The new girl is revealed as Bast in Princess Zenzi's body, and she drops a mighty load of new direction on the Maroons and us readers. There's a touch of action, good art throughout, and the first of the answers we've been waiting for oh-so-desperately. The curtain is starting to pull back in a wholly-satisfying way.
Oh ye of little faith, behold as the puzzle pieces fall into place.
Love the art, moves plot forward.
We're here and I can't say that it's a fulfilling issue as it lays out what happened but it's fun and some great art from Walker! Coates isn't there yet in my opinion when it comes to making the heavy beats land right. But I'll keep going since it's still enjoyable.
We finally get an explanation for what's been happening. I mean, nothing much that I didn't already know, but I guess it's nice to have it laid out somewhat. Hopefully, this story gets more interesting with T'Challa regaining his memories. The pacing of this story is probably it's biggest issue. Something that Coates clearly struggles with as a writer. But this story is so out there and wrapped up in itself that it's sometimes hard to maintain interest.
I feel like the first half in particular was a bit messy, but fine enough.
