Black Panther #15
Nicolas Duncan
Recap
Last issue, Ta-Nehisi Coates and Daniel Acuna continue build our excitement as we process the new twist with a battle threatens T’Challa’s primary goal. The King of Wakanda has finally made contact with his family and Queen Mother Ramonda informs T’Challa how their country has thrived. Even though, it seems that N’Jadaka was killed, there is more dire need of assistance as the universe has been threatened. What will the King of Wakanda do next?
Review
Black Panther #15 concludes Book 3: Two Thousand Seasons along with a cliffhanger that will leave you excited for the next chapter. T’Challa breaks barrios through time and space as he completes the Galactic Bridge. There is not much action in this issue; however, the drama satisfies the readers’ focus. Ta-Nehisi Coates entertains us with T’Challa being torn between two women and his responsibilities to Wakanda Prime and the Galactic Empire 2,000 years into the future. For those who may not be familiar with Coates’ work, may feel that this issue is a bit too slow and predictable. However, I love and enjoy the pacing in this issue to build up the momentum for the next Wakandan’ adventure in space and time continuum.
Daniel Acuna’s artwork and colors are awesome, like always, but the cover is a little deceiving from the content within this issue and honestly, too gaudy. Nonetheless, the twist and turns that Black Panther #15 will make the cover forgettable and lore you into the storyline. The last page will make you wanting to know what’s next for the Black Panther: The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda!
Final Thoughts
Good timing and pacing for closure to one arc and the connector for what’s about to be told.
