Black Panther: Panther's Rage by Sheree Renée Thomas

3.5

(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) 

Since I haven't read the comics, I can't tell how much of Black Panther: Panther's Rage is directly taken from the comics. This is supposed to be a re-imagining, so please excuse me in advance for not knowing how much of it is the re-inspiration part. As someone who has only seen the film, some of Black Panther: Panther's Rage felt familiar and some were very different to what I was expecting. That's not necessarily a bad thing, I think it's just something to know going in especially with the popularity and the release of the sequel. 

In Black Panther: Panther's Rage I appreciated how we get a look a deeper look at Wakanda. To the depths of the anti-Outworlder sentiment. How slow change is and how deeply pervasive that feeling is from the top all the way to the bottom. It made me appreciate the conflict that we get a peek of in the movie even more so. Not only that, but this entire aspect feels very close to rhetoric that is not so foreign to our world.
