Review Black Panther 9.5/10 “Black Panther#1 is an introduction to the story of T’Challa, new king of Wakanda.” Narratively, the story works and feels believable, requiring little knowledge or investment of the titular characters history, even with nods to the past events. Such a set up means that new readers won’t have too much trouble and old fans of T’Challa will be able to jump in with immediate recognition of his current conflict. It feels good that now the setup is in Wakanda and not in US and it covers political and social Gamers&Anime 36 matters and not any super villain. This story is definitely worth a try. The Orphan King or the Panther, T’Challa is Wakanda’s hero. However, he is not the same person we have known. He returns to rebuild the nation he failed to protect and the people of Wakanda have lost faith in their king. July 2016
