A lot happens, but I'm not entirely sure what, or why, or how it's resolved.

The second story in Coates’ Black Panther run builds on the fledging proto-democratic Wakanda established in the first, and tests it against a new, external threat in the form of Klaw. This one hews more closely to the format of the superhero comic, with teams of heroes and villains brought together in combat. But there is also a parallel story about the gods of Wakanda who are absent, and a backstory which reveals that the early Wakandans were also colonisers in some way, complicating the legitimacy of their claim to the land in a manner that doesn’t seem fully resolved at the end. The ground that took a while to establish in the first volume allows the action in this one to flow more quickly and read more like the comic book it is rather than a treatise on government, and showcases Coates flexibility in changing between the two styles.

To be honest, I found Shuri's story more interesting. Also, I'm sorry but Storm is more kick ass than she is here.

4.5 :) I read this all in one sitting and was very satisfied with it. It was engaging and exciting and pretty cohesive. I was confused in some parts but not many.

Okay but I didn't get hooked on the story or the characters. My only exposure to the Black Panther universe is the Marvel movies so I don't have the context to fully understand the storylines. The graphic is amazing but I won't be continuing with the series.
