THE "GATHERING OF MY NAME" REACHES A TURNING POINT!
The can't-miss issue! Rising star Jen Bartel returns for the end of the second groundbreaking arc. Years ago, the Black Panther departed Earth for the stars - and discovered an empire bigger than he could have dreamed. Learn at last how the King of Wakanda found himself a slave in the Vibranium mines of a half-familiar world. T'Challa's lost past is revealed here!

I love the subtle connections to the Shuri book but can't wait for the inevitable convergence. I'm not really sold on the side story of Achebe and Farouk's plan with the M'Kraan crystal but only time will tell. The art is beautiful and eye-catching. The more traditional comic art fits well with the story at this point. Acuna is masterful but the panels and faces tell the story in a way I'm used to. Read Full Review
Black Panther #12 gives just enough answers and leaves some unanswered questions to keep the reader interested for the next chapter. Read Full Review
The trap is set, the hero has the weapon, the armies are primed, the core mysteries are unraveled and the climactic battle is at hand. It's on and popping for the next issue! Hands will be thrown! Read Full Review
Readers are ultimately left in a frustrating position. This will likely read immensely better in the trade format, as Ta-Nehisi Coates' past arcs have. Coates packs his stories with subtext and payoffs that often only reveal themselves when the work is seen in whole, rather than part, but it'd be nice if the parts were a little more rewarding on their own.

This is another example from the current Black Panther run of a chapter that might function well as part of a collection, but lags as a single installment. Read Full Review
The appearance of Sologon here, just a week after she went MIA in Shuri, makes me wonder about how closely coordinated the two Wakandan series are. Probably it's just a happy accident, but if it isn't, wow!
It brings the last ten years of comics in perspective and leaves with a cliffhanger that excites you for what's to come.
Good recap issue, but Great art
Fills in the final piece of the puzzle.
While I do enjoy some of the callbacks here, and while I'm glad that this issue really moved things along, it doesn't work that well as a single issue.
I’m just so glad that this plot is finally moving along.
