Jun 01, 2021An impressive ending to Coates' run, setting up a wild new status quo for Wakanda, one that I hope doesn't get immediately unraveled by the next writer. Either way, it's a lovely ending for a lovely ride. Read Full Review

This was OK but a disappointment after going through the whole intergalactic empire of Wakanda stuff for so long. The end was just very unfinished. Maybe the crazy delay was part of the problem but to me it just feels unfinished and so much left on the table. Also how are the only heroes showing up from North America/world only black so what? The other heroes won't save Wakanda or is T'challa stupid enough to only reach out to black heroes. This is a stupid plot point but just takes me out of it. I get we are trying to get a black power moment here but give your allies a place at the table because the Avengers and the X-men can help so why not have them there too??. I mean the Black Panther is the leader of the Avengers so WTF?? Can he not more

The good guys win, Bast is helpful in an infuriating way, and T'Challa ends up as a space-emperor. This finale has some solid storytelling touches, particularly in the art, but I'd contend nobody is going to remember any of the particulars in a year's time. I like the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda as much now as when I first heard of it, though. It's an inherently appealing premise/setting. Now I hope Marvel does the right thing with it: Stick it on a high shelf until somebody has a really slapping cosmic story to tell with it. (And of course, I'm implying that Mr. Coates's interminable origin saga didn't really fit that bill.)
