Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet Book 2

It came in really good conditionXmas gift for my bestie

Arrived in good time and in great condition. The comic itself is a good read and different from the usual

This book ties past events to move the story forward and blend the past and the present. That theme is everywhere in this book, calling back to Shuri's near death, the destruction of much of Wakanda by the SubMariner and the current plot with its insurrection within Wakanda.Along with this theme of the past's influence on the present, the writing here is clear and evocative. In Marvel's current set of comics, I find Black Panther to be the strongest in writing.

I would recommend this book to everyone. My son who is 11 read it in like a day. He found it entertaining and it helped to give some background on the movie we watched called Black Panther.

It's difficult for me to say I am enjoying this comic. The learning curve to this world is steep, and even after reading the first book, who's who is not entirely clear to me. This is a very political work, though it does not take the obvious political bent one might expect. T'Challa uses the means of a dictator to hold onto power, though even his enemies are not quite the democratic stalwarts they might have people believe. Still, are we supposed to root for T'Challa? He is an unclear person, lacking emotional connection with the people and the reader. For a superhero comic, one thing this story lacks is charisma, and even bringing in outside superheroes like Storm and Luke Cage does little to change this. T'Challa's search for his sister was also confusing. This is my first Black Panther story, so maybe my lack of knowledge of the Black Panther universe is what is holding me back, but while I appreciate the intellectual pursuits of Coates, a little more accessibility would be nice.
