The writing was pretty good, but the artwork was inconsistent, some of it good, some really bad.

This is the first Black Panther collection I've ever read. I have to say, I really like the character, and the multinational political story it told was great. The Civil War backdrop worked really well, until the end. Once again, the lack of clarity regarding the chronology of the other stories in the Civil War plot made the pace and narrative feel a bit funny near the end. Overall, however, it was a great book.

I'm reading this event according to the official Marvel Civil War reading recommendation list as seen on their website here:
https://www.marvel.com/comics/discover/114/civil-war-the-complete-event
This collection is a diverse one. Black Panther and Storm have just gotten married, so it starts with their honeymoon. We see the two of them dive right into discussing the new developments in US domestic policy with several other countries and their leaders. It's a more political take on everything than what we have seen in other comics, which can make the pacing a bit slow at times. I like that it brings into question what other countries think of Americans and the political structure here. We also see how Iron Man and the US government uses whatever it can to make technicalities against Black Panther and Storm. It wasn't as action-packed as some of the others I've read for this event, but it answered very interesting questions.
For: fans of superheroes/comics; readers wanting the perspective from other nations during this time.
Possible red flags: characters in peril; violence; death; beheading; blood.

I was never very interested in Black Panther as a kid. He didn't have any cool gadgets or shoot laser beams. He was just a hand to hand guy. But I'm really digging him as an adult. He also has gadgets so that helps, but he's just overall totally badass. Looking forward to reading more and to the movie.

Pretty damn hard to follow both the plot and the artwork. And the art was wildly uneven. Not terrible, but disappointing.

This is my fave of the Civil War so far. Black Panther's perspective as a ruler and superhero was interesting. He was also a newlywed to X-men's, Storm, so their dynamic was interesting. Reed invents a clone Thor??? Dr. Frankenstein there much?? Good comic.
