I received an eARC from the publisher via Netgalley. This did not influence my opinion. 

 

Wow, this was such an interesting read! 

I loved the deep dive into culture and history and how both influenced the comic (and storytelling in general) and how the comics influenced culture, history and minds as well. I learned quite a lot during this, but also recognized many topics I had learned about before. 

The book is written very accessibly, with lots of images supporting the text. It can teach everyone a lot, and Black Panther, who has now become a symbol of pop culture as well, may make this knowledge more accessible to everyone, which is great and important. 

I would recommend reading this book in print though, not digitally/as an ebook.
