    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

    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
