Black Nerd Problems - Oz Longworth
May 25, 2017This book is walking an entertaining tightrope between traditional superhero antics and Black Panther think piece. And it is walking that rope well. Coates is putting a lot of things into play, putting Wakanda's politics, its leadership and now even its gods into question to see what comes out the other side of the ambition that's being delivered on bit by bit.

May 29, 2017Panther manages to firmly hold my interest through this new installment, and I can't wait to see it continued next month. If you're not on board the Ta-Nehisi Coates"Black Panther train, then now is a good time as any. Give it a read. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Robert Reed
May 30, 2017Black Panther #14 continues the nice change of pace set in the previous issue. For a character who has been through some serious deconstruction over the past seven years or so, it's nice to see Ta-Nehisi Coates give the king a more fantastical adventure for his second arc. This issue is hampered by inconsistent artwork and uninspired introductions to characters who are likely unfamiliar to readers who began with Coates' run. This isn't a complete story-killer, so long as Black Panther #14 remains an outlier. Read Full Review

May 25, 2017For a series that ranked among Marvel's best in 2016, Black Panther is having a surprisingly difficult time finding its footing in its second story arc. Read Full Review

Getting better but still more talking heads than a comic book.

It was cool to see Queen Divine Justice and Zawavari again.

Again, we have a lost opportunity where T'Challa battling some rock monsters as an afterthought. Black Panther just seems to fall short of this book's potential. I'm interested to see what happens with Queen Divine Justice, I hope Coates brings in the White Ape as some of these pages are suggesting.

Both T'Challa and his suspiciously-unified enemies use deep cuts into the Panther mythos to bring some old characters back to light. Unfortunately, it looks like Ta-Nehisi Coates hasn't learned from the weaknesses of his first arc. The sins committed here are familiar from the first 12 issues of the title. "T'Challa hosts a conference" remains a dreadfully dull and now overused plot point, and making it a ghost conference of Panther ancestors doesn't do nearly enough to liven it up. The art team takes its cues from the over-quiet, over-slow script, and the visual presentation here is simplistic and cartoony in a bad, short-of-detail way. Even though this issue involves a fair few plot developments, the overall impression is that it's a skip more
