The Hatut Zeraze have taken control of Wakanda, and with the Black Panther branded a traitor, the future of the nation is at a crossroads. To clear his name and protect his people from his own mistakes, T'Challa must reckon with his legacy - starting with the acknowledgement that leadership is only as strong as the faith of its following.

Landini designs some beautifully detailed panels throughout the issue. The art is expansive, vibrant and visually thrilling. Read Full Review
Black Panther's exploration of T'Challa and the sins he has committed continues as the character is brought to a point that should make future stories with him even more interesting, depending on where the conclusion of this story arc goes. Some moments of this story have been stronger than others, but overall it continues to be a very intriguing storyline for the character and for Wakanda as a whole. Read Full Review
Bits and PiecesBlack Panther #7 will be a bitter pill to swallow for T'Challa fans as Ridley brings the character to his lowest point. If this penultimate issue is any indication, T'Challa's future in any role is in doubt, and that may have been Ridley's plan all along. Whether or not you agree with the creative directions of the story, the technical execution of the art and writing is solid. Read Full Review

What makes Black Panther #7 fascinating is writer John Ridley spreads the story around in order to give proper page time to several key characters, who help to give different viewpoints of the brewing conflict. Read Full Review
'Black Panther' #7 by John Ridley and Stefano Landini refuses to make arguments for its story decisions, failing its characters and its plot. Read Full Review
Another lower point for this series, unfortunately. Though, it's not a bad book whatsoever. I still find Ridley's story fairly enjoyable, though I don't feel as though it's up to the quality it was once at. I can't really pinpoint it specifically, but it's not quite as engaging. As for Landini, I found his art a bit better overall, though I do think I would look for a different rotating artist for this series with Juann Cabal. I did like the work Ibrahim Moustafa did in in Issues 3 & 4.
I think it's a good book, but I may be over-charitable in rating it 7.5/10.
The art's dynamic, but not very detailed or clear. The writing is clear, but it's also stretched across so many plot developments that it gets choppy and expository (there are still killer lines in there, though!)
That's my take on the storytelling. As to the content, the story itself? I'm torn. I love seeing T'Challa grapple with humbling changes. I like the fast-burning civil war plot (unoriginal though it be).
I like the *idea* of this vibranium hippie Tosin, sort of. How he enters the story, though … holier-than-thou attitude, *two* save-the-day moments, other characters shilling for his awesomeness … it's little too "Mary S more
My brother in christ what happened
I hate to do this, but this issue and current run is stale. This was covered already during Coates' run, another civil war in Wakanda. At this point, other than Tosin and the lost tribe of Wakanda (which is just the Jabari with Vibranium physically fused to their bodies), there is no new ground being covered here.
