Black Panther: Long Live the King by Aaron Covington, Nnedi Okorafor

4.0

I liked this ALOT. Art work is awesome. Much prefer Nnedi writing Black Panther than Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Nnedi is an Igbo, a Nigerian ethnic group that is unique since the Igbos never had a centralized government or royalty. She tried to inject this in the worldbuilding of Wakanda and it worked out really well. I liked how T'Challa reflected that there were different types of freedom in his kingdom, including even an anarchic community. And the idea of a sentient vibranium is fantastic.

This edition apparently has two additional stories, one of which really struck me since I did not know about Ngozi, an interim Black Panther who does not wear vibranium suit but had a symbiote like Venom? and she's in a wheel chair in her daily lives? WOW. I need more of her.
