Landini delivers some beautifully detailed and thrilling art in the issue. The fight scenes draw out the perfect level of tension while looking amazing. Read Full Review
It all comes crumbling down as T'Challa's choices and secrets put everything he's worked for and his very life at the greatest of risks. This continues to be an intriguing series that puts the title character and the supporting cast into interesting and very realistic positions as a nation struggles to figure out its place in the future politically and in other ways.

Black Panther #6is a white-knuckle action thriller from beginning to end, as T'Challa is branded an enemy of Wakanda and goes on the run. With the next issue wrapping up this story arc, time will tell if the Panther takes back his crown or if the weight of his duplicity will crush him. Either way, it's a truly fresh direction for the book. Read Full Review
He finally gets to have a meaningful one-on-one conversation with one major ally that answers some long-lingering questions from the past in a good way. Read Full Review
Black Panther #6 is a fast race to nowhere with the main character who can magically run away from giant mobs and armed squadrons with barely a scratch. The plot makes almost no progress, T'Challa's ability to evade capture is patently ridiculous, and while the art is very good, the whole issue proves to be plot armor filler. Read Full Review
The all-around execution of this story is lacking. Read Full Review
This issue continues speeding along at the breakneck pace established in #5 until it downshifts for that amazing Storm scene toward the end. The structure works. I love the dialogue and the humor; the speech feels totally natural. (Maybe too American and not Wakandan enough; I may have a subjective bias from watching Wakanda Forever recently.)
The art is short of detail, but does incredible work without it. The hard shadows and dynamic posing are terrific in the action scenes, and the artist's faces are expressive enough to carry the conversational moments, too.
This was another good issue on Ridley's part, as I'm still intrigued by the story he's telling. Not everything worked as well here as it has in the past, but it's still a nice read. As for Landini, I wasn't the biggest fan of his art here. Most of it was solid, but there were certain pages/moments where faces just looked strange. Hopefully his art improves, as it looks like he's, at least, working on the next two issues as well.

All of a sudden T'challa lost his clothes only to look like a slave from "12 years a slave" and then get his ass whooped by regular ppl. Ridley just can't write a superhero.
