Black Panther LLK #6 ultimately raises more questions and leaves many more questions unanswered about Wakanda, it's relationship to other nations on the continent and the national/continental responsibilities of a superhero who also happens to be a political ruler. In this sense, it is not an ending of Ngozi's story as much as it is a beginning. Read Full Review
What's supposed to be a relaxing trip home to Lagos turns into a mutant chase and a fascinating social portrait for Ngozi, the Nigerian girl who picked up both Venom and the Black Panther mantle in a Venomverse AU. This little one-shot has a simple plot and some art that veers from rough to downright regrettable at points. There's a vibrant novelty to the protagonist and her setting that rises over the shortcomings and makes this issue compelling. Besides showing Ngozi as well worth further stories, Nnedi Okorafor also paints a fascinating (but grim) portrait of mutant life in Lagos.
I'm unfamiliar with the Venomverse story that this draws from, but I'm already fond of this character, Ngozi, based on this brief introduction. Unfortunately, the execution gets extremely sloppy around the time that the action kicks in, this would have been a great issue with some refinement and more pages to flush out the nuances.
