Black Panther Book 4: Avengers of the New World Book 1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates
5.0
I'm SO glad Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing Black Panther, and that he keeps getting better at handling the medium. Granted, the first two volumes were difficult, but vols. 3 and 4 are both fantastic.
My only complaint is of the lack of a comprehensive prologue explaining the many major events that are continuously referenced but would involve digging up years of back issues that probably haven't even been collected into trades. There's the war with Doom, the time Namor destroyed much of the country, and some other thing involving Thanos scouring Wakanda. At some point I guess the Avengers were in hiding in Wakanda? I don't know about ANY of this shit, and my Google searches keep resulting in media preview hype pieces. That over-arcing complaint that's more aimed at Marvel than this particular title aside though, this is a really enjoyable, solid book.
