Mar 21, 2017Dawn of the Midnight Angels concludes in an amazing way and I'm looking forward to the next story arc and seeing all of the great things that I am sure this stellar team has in store for us. Read Full Review

Mar 16, 2017From here World of Wakanda continues, but without Roxane Gay, Alitha Martinez, Roberto Poggi, and Rachelle Rosenberg. The next issue will feature Rembert Browne as writer (he's got Grantland and New York Magazine credentials) and Joe Bennett as artist (who drew the original The Crew series back in the day). The story will return Kasper Cole, AKA The White Tiger, to comics, with a new direction and almost certainly more cross-over with the main Black Panther title and The Crew spin-off. In short, it is a great time to be a Black Panther fan. Keep it here to read reviews and commentary on all this goodness. Read Full Review

Mar 15, 2017The combination of Gay's writing and Martinez's artwork brings a story that highlights the multiple forms of feminine strength. It creates a fluid story that shows a true relationship and the struggles to keep it alive. Read Full Review

Multiversity Comics - Nicholas Palmieri
Mar 20, 2017Great concept, but the not-so-great writing drags down the issue and takes the artists down with it. Here's hoping Gay will learn more about comics before writing another one. Read Full Review

The story comes full circle to tie up with Black Panther #1. It was worthwhile to explore these characters, I may have even enjoyed these issue more than the main Black Panther series. We don't really get closure on Folami though, so I'm hoping we haven't seen the last of her.

Glad to see that the story did improve over time. I actually did enjoyed this issue.

Ayo and Aneka go rogue as the Midnight Angels; we get a slightly deeper telling of the tale than we did at the start of the current BP volume. Nemesis Folami and supporter Zola are left in open-ended situations that feel like lame sequel hooks. It would have been better to give them real closure. My chief disappointment is still the dialogue. In an effort to make her characters sound exotic and non-American, Roxane Gay has again stuffed their mouths with an overdose of clumsy, stilted half-poetry.
