Rated T+
The big battle is "over," last issue, the Mackendal blew up the spot! The question is now what will T'Challa will do. This issue displays his return to Wakanda Prime and reunites with his sister, Shuri, and his beloved, Ororo. There's much more to do because there's no happy ending in sight for "The One Who Puts the Knife Where it Belongs." Read Full Review
Daniel Acua's depiction of travel through time and space is every bit as dazzling as readers would hope, though, and open doorways to a future where Wakanda's adventures span across both. Read Full Review
Good timing and pacing for closure to one arc and the connector for whats about to be told. Read Full Review
Two Thousand Seasons…of Good Ass StorytellingIn spite of the milieu of corporate inertia, in the wake of the massive economic success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sustained, high-level storytelling and world-building with a triple-A character persists under Coates' disciplined pen. I'm about to run out of superlatives talking about this book. There are plot arcs on multiple levels playing out and designing a tapestry that can be both a world unto itself and a place to weave in the entire Marvel Comics landscape. There are art choices in panel layout and character design that continue to innovate — Daniel Acua can draw Okoye doing nothing and make her look badass AF. Facial expressions mean a lot in a comic and are hard to execute; the ‘come hither' look in Storm's eyes (scroll back up and see it again) cannot be mistaken. The homie Daniel Acua is on fire.

This was a poorly paced issue. It was slow moving, predictable, and boring. The art isnt Acunas best either. Storm was hard to look at. I will give this series this, it reads better in trade. Read Full Review
Calm and great issue where T'challa and his supporting cast have to come to grip with what his empire and legacy mean in Earth Prime and galaxies abroad. Very enjoyable issue from Coates with killer Acuna art that makes it look beautiful!!
Wakanda longs its kings. And i miss my son.
Who's my favorite Marvel editor? It'll be the one who dares to say to the almighty Coates, "You are great at philosophy and grand strategy, at setup and payoff. But if your comics are going to reach their full potential, we need to send you to 'climactic fight bootcamp' and teach you how to script a satisfying on-page resolution."
Comedy Count: This issue includes FIVE drinks drunk purely so that characters have something to do with their hands while expositing at each other.
T'Challa struggles with the implications of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, is this an inevitable path for Wakanda Prime?
A little slow, I guess a nice breather.
Had trouble getting through this issue since not much happens at all and with how this series is written, there's no need for a breather issue.
