A new era begins for the Black Panther! MacArthur Genius and National Book Award-winning writer Ta-Nehisi Coates (Between the World and Me) takes the helm, confronting T'Challa with a dramatic upheaval in Wakanda that will make leading the African nation tougher than ever before. When a superhuman terrorist group calling itself The People sparks a violent uprising, the land famed for its incredible technology and proud warrior traditions will be thrown into turmoil. As suicide bombers terrorize the population, T'Challa struggles to unite his citizens, and a familiar villain steps out of the shadows. If Wakanda is to survive, it must adapt - but can its monarch, one in a long line of Black Panthers, survive the necessary change? Heavy lies the head that wears the cowl! Collecting BLACK PANTHER (2016) #1-4 and FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #52, plus more than 25 pages of bonus content!

All the stars, plus more.. I teach and work - where kids deserve and need this sort of stuff. Not for nothing, I think of Coates as an educator first. It is entertaining, and thoughtful - and also complex and pollemical. You pick how to work your experience. And the graphics are AWESOME, they don't just support or illustrate a new world. The art communicates WITH the words, and transmits it to us.

If you appreciate this, are interested - look into Ta-Nehisi Coates, you can read so much of his work for free, you-tube appearances. He's a columnist for The Atlantic, writing at a load of other places. Author of Between the World and Me..This work - it can be a springboard for more exploration, for those knew to him.

Ta-Nehesi Coates breathes fresh life into Marvel

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2017

With dynamic artwork, snappy dialogue, and an all-too-relevant storyline, Ta-Nehesi Coates’ addition to the Marvel universe is a breath of fresh air. This is what happens when you let people tell their own stories- and it is wonderful.

To be a king

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2018

I read through a bunch of reviews of this book that didn't think to highly of it. Admittedly, it isn't as action filled as other superhero comics, but those are a dime a dozen. I'm glad that this book ended up being something different because it takes a chance on appealing to a different audience and I think it works wonderfully.

First off, this book opens with the Black Panther returning to a broken Wakanda. It's not literally broken; instead it is broken in spirit. The people have lost faith in their leader after several incursions from outside forces. Various warlords are seeking to take control of different parts of the nation and the common people are cracking. How can this nation be brought whole again and what will the Black Panther's role be in it?

I've never read a Black Panther story before so I didn't really have any expectations on what this book would be. This gives a good history of Wakanda and the Black Panther, and I enjoyed the political aspects of it as well. There are a couple of outlaws that are working to help the people without actively acting against the country's leadership (so far). I liked the characters despite not being familiar with most of them beforehand.

The art is fantastic. There are some really gorgeous sections. I could easily see this being the favorite part of many readers. There are some sections of the book that are kind of dry. This volume aims to set the scene for the hero in many ways and prep for future events. I think it succeeds and I am looking forward to reading the next volume.

I'm new to the Black Panther universe, and this is the first I've read. I loved it - easy to digest for new-comers to Black Panther or even to comics. I'm a middle-aged woman, and this series introduced me to an area I would never have known. Wonderfully entertaining, and easy to read on my Kindle Fire - the Comixology bit works well.

This is a great book that holds true to the original theme. The modern flavor injected by Coates is great. The greatest addition was the inclusion of the Black Panther introduced in Fantastic Four. It shows his cunning, ability, and means. Such a great collection. On to the next one!

Stick with it beyond volume 1 - takes a while to find its feet

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

With the new Black Panther movie looking astonishingly good from its trailers, a timely Amazon sale sent some of the recent comics starring the King of Wakanda tumbling my way.
Well, I suppose from 2016, so not the most recent - but the run by Ta-Nehisi Coates has been raved about by fellow fans of T'Challa so it was about time I took a look.
I've long been a fan of Black Panther - I tend to gravitate towards heroes who aren't mighty gods or universe-menacing Phoenixes - and so the combination of genius scientist and stealthy warrior has long appealed.
I'll confess, though, that I'm awfully glad that I bought book two at the same time as book one. Coates takes his time to find his feet with his story - or rather, more to the point, he has a big story to tell but sometimes in volume one rushes through the actual telling, and you end up piecing a couple of the parts of the tale together in your head rather than reading it on the page. He's much more in his stride by the second volume, so if you find yourself put off a little by the opening collection, stick with it, it comes together much better as the issues go by.
The story itself tackles the tale of Black Panther as king, fighting to hold together his kingdom from threats within and without. He isn't all-seeing or all-wise, rather he's a man underneath the legend, making political choices that might not always be for the best, but are mostly made with the best intentions.
The tale tackles issues of nationalism, identity, monarchism and democracy - weighty matters that go beyond the usual supervillain hokum of many comics. Sometimes, that strays into territory of infodumping, but as I say, the method of telling the story keeps improving.
I'm not terribly sure it will serve as a great introduction to readers for the Black Panther movie - but it's a powerful look at the world the comics character inhabits - with a wider landscape than his stories are often afforded.

Coates writes about a thrilling and important black super hero!

I love Ta-Nehisi Coates! I have all of his books and read him in The Atlantic magazine. He’s a VERY important voice for African-Americans! I bought this (read it first!) then gave it to the doctor who is head of the ER here. Swahili ancestry. He is using these to speak with his 8 year old son about being black in today’s world.
