A review by savaging
Black Panther #10 by Brian Stelfreeze, Ta-Nehisi Coates

I really tried guys. But this whole comic book genre -- it's just a fever dream of constant peril. It's the written equivalent of ornate and flamboyant opera. So many characters, so many costumes, no sense of parsimony. You've never figured out the backstory. There is no place to rest. Kids these days.

I did like how Ta-Nehisi Coates was cynical about state power and monarchism. It's hard to love a superhero who also holds supreme state power (even when he's a black African feline-themed superhero). I was squarely on the side of the revolutionaries. I mean: vengeance ecology meets vengeance feminism? Duh.
