Review: Black Panther #1

Black Panther #1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I literally read this book in one sitting! The art work of this book is amazing, and I really enjoyed the world building of Wakanda. Since I am new to the Black Panther narrative, it took me a while to sort out the characters. But I loved the story, and in particular, T'Challa's relationship with his mother resonated with me. I now look forward to reading more about Afrofuturism and to seeing the new movie! Diverse representation is so important, and I believe this comic series and the movie will be game changers. Also, I am now going to put this book on my classroom shelf in hopes that my students will fall in love with it too. I have some seventh graders who love comics, and this story is so compelling!
