Black Panther, Vol. 1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates

I really wish Christopher Priest were the one writing this, though I understand why he refuses. for escaped slaves, which would work fine if not for the fact that this comic establishes that the Wakandan Empire LEFT EARTH FOR SPACE TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO & has not had contact with Earth in all that time! Also, why did that one alien have an Islamic Arabic name? Arabic wasn't spoken in Wakanda, and they didn't follow Islam, especially not TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO - and it makes even less sense for an alien to have that name! I'm intrigued by the good, but i'm sensing a lot of Coates' typical narrative ineptitude. Also, why are the rebel soldiers called 'Maroons'? It's a term that developed on Earth in the American South & West Indies in the late-18th/early-19th century C.E. Does Coates not remember that Storm & T'Challa are divorced? Nor that they're not on especially good terms? Because that fact makes the whole 'he repeatedly dreams of Ororo begging for him to come home' trope pretty meaningless - though it does explain why he depicted them so amazingly out-of-character in 'Black Panther & The Crew'. And there's a lot of stuff which will clearly be explained in future issues, but there's also other stuff that just doesn't make sense. Meyer of the 'Diversity & Comics' YouTube channel! It's a shame that Coates is a racist & a legitimately hateful person, but I'm glad he's making up for his craptacular previous run on this character by making an epic space opera! #movetheneedle When a superhuman terrorist group that calls itself The People sparks a violent uprising, the country famed for its incredible technology and proud warrior traditions will be thrown into turmoil! As Zenzi and Tetu, leaders of The People, poison the populace against its king, the spirit of T'Challa's presumed-dead sister, Shuri, makes a transformative journey through Wakanda's past, and a group of heroes, including Storm and Luke Cage, come together as The Crew to help Black Panther out.Read because it was effusively recommended by Richard C.

A new era for the Black Panther begins as the kingdom of Wakanda enters what might be its final days! National Book Award winner and New York Times Best-Selling author Ta-Nehisi Coates (Between the World and Me) confronts T'Challa with dramatic upheaval in his homeland that will make leading the African nation tougher than ever before.
