Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet, Book 1

My Black Panther obsession continues. Great storytelling in this comic is only fueling the fire.

Who knew comics could be this sophisticated? It's not often that I pick up a graphic novel, by the way, and I am in awe of this collaboration between stunning artwork and intriguing plot. Well done!

My notes on this book: anaulin.org/blog/2017/01/book-notes-black-panther-a-nation-under-our-feet-book-1/

Good story, mostly set-up, but lots of promise.

This trade is so short that it really feels like set up for the actual story. Yeah, it's fun to have all those variant covers collected in the back, but another issue or two of the actual comic would have been great.

As it is now, this is firmly in the land of "promising, but not great yet".

If you're new to the character due to CA: Civil War, I'd suggest reading some of David Walker's run first. Those are perhaps a better introduction to the character.

I've read a good five to ten graphic novels in the last couple of years, but I think superheroes aren't my thing. I'd very much like to read more of Wakanda - don't know how much of that environment is the creation of Coates - but I didn't connect with the characters or the action.
