Black Panther: Long Live the King #1 by Nnedi Okorafor, André Lima Araújo
3.0
The three issues in this volume that are by Okorafor and Araújo are excellent, and I wish the duo had had more issues to play with. Unfortunately, two of the six issues are by different writer/artist teams and are far below the quality of the Okorafor/Araújo issues. Also included is a fantastic one-shot that Okorafor did with artist Tana Ford about Ngozi (Okorafor and Ford also worked together on the excellent and underrated LaGuardia).
In other words, this volume is a mixed bag of both very good and and less-than-good comics. There is no full story “arc” to structure this volume, and the lack of creative consistency shows. A longer and more developed story with a regular creative team would have made a huge difference.
