Overall, I loved it and I don't know if I'm ready for the end but I am. If you're not reading this series, what are you doing??? Read Full Review

As always the art is on point. Both Pina and Salazar keep the action, characters and setting looking great. I also hold a special place in my heart for the designs of all the characters clothes, especially the Black Panther suit and Storm's outfit. As we reach the end of Rise of the Black Panther (I know, I'm going to miss it too), it's clear who will be the last enemy that T'challa will have to face. I do wonder at what point in T'challa first year we will end up. Here's to hoping it ends just as strong as the rest of the book. Read Full Review
The penultimate issue in this mini-series is ostensibly about family, but it only says this. The actual bonds, betrayals, and relationships are all manufactured through the telling. Read Full Review
Storm guest-stars in the fast-paced story of Jakarra's defeat. There's also a little flashback cameo so that Luke Cage can provide a cheesy action-movie one-liner T'Challa repeats at the climax. This issue shows that the author has mastered the art of getting strictly to business and telling a fast story without heaps of exposition. The art firms up and shoulders a significant portion of the storytelling work. This is a very good read on a simple level, but I'm not sure the more thoughtful undertones are as refined as they could be.
I'll always be pulling for T'Challa and storm as a couple because they just click. The villain in this issue is not as good as others, and his bizarre nature requires a bizarre solution without much of a climax. Ultimately, it's not a satisfying read.
