Reviews

[Jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

I picked this up cheap, having never had much interest in the politics and governance of a made up country, but this was a good time, and man, do you get a lot of bang for your buck!

My favorites were the Shuri and Killmonger stories included, but Black Panther and the Crew is right up there.

Rise of the Black Panther was probably my least favorite as, again, lots of Wakandian politics, and the multiversal Venom stuff was kind of blah, but enjoyable enough.

Curse you, lack of half-stars! I am stuck having to choose between 3 and 4.

It’s a very uneven collection that was a bit of a slog at times. However, the highlights are high and reading it alongside the TNC omnibus really elevates the material.

[Eric · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is very uneven, being a collection of various Black Panther tie ins over a 4-5 year period. There are some highs and some lows, but it's overall fairly enjoyable.
