The creative team on this book is turning out a clever piece of narrative work. In a digital age where Twitter will come for anyone not doing their due diligence, it means so much that at no point in this series is the violence simply for violence's sake. Every moment is full of intention and symbolism. All props to those who came before but this is, without a doubt, the greatest Black Panther run ever executed. Read Full Review

Black Panther #17 had some interesting segments that could have been built better instead of focusing on a three-way drama. Read Full Review

With few visual hooks and little connection between the scattered moments of this issue, the only call to continue rests in the last few pages. It's likely not enough for some readers to return. Read Full Review

Great art as always from Acuna, good Storm writing, awsome stuff all around.

This is an exciting issue thanks to lots of tense character development and action.

This was one of the best issues in a while. Characters were written well. The plot definitely moved forward. And the symbiote villain is pretty dope. A lot of earlier elements of Coates' run are coming back into play, so I wonder how that affects the experience of readers that only came on board with the Intergalactic Empire run.

Things come to a head as T'Challa confronts whatever remnant of N'Jadaka lives on in his symbiote. There're fascinating ideas in play, but as usual, this title shies away from locking them down with authoritative interpretation. The ambiguity leans more into "intriguing" than "frustrating" this time around -- for me anyway. I think the author is doing better than usual to confine the uncertainty to the *meaning* of events and not let it creep into basic *understanding* of what's going on.

This issue enjoys nice art and some interesting formal play with the layouts. The status quo is variable rectangular panels, but heavy conversation pushes it towards rigid 6 or 9-box grids. Action, on the other hand, pushes the panels away from rectangles entirely. Cool stuff!

I’m more into the plot, but not always on board for the dialogue.
