Black Panther #15

The John Ridley run of Black Panther comes to an end on a solemn note. Read Full Review

The latest volume of ‘Black Panther' comes to a satisfying and game-changing conclusion with ‘Black Panther' #15, wrapping up much of what has been built over the past fifteen months while also seeding plenty to be picked up upon for years to come by others. While T'Challa's future is murky and a question mark, the future for Wakanda within the universe is quite bright creating some great forward movement in a medium often dominated by old status quos.

Peralta does a great job with the art in the issue, but all of the build up to the final confrontation with Jhai was wasted with the rest of the issue becoming a great way to show off the new characters while doing little else visually. Read Full Review

Black Panther #15 ends the series the only way it can, with an anti-climactic end to Jhai's attack and a 12-page epilogue for everyone to say goodbye. If you've loved Ridley's run, this ending is more of the same. For everyone else, this issue is a waste of time. Read Full Review

Suffering from a lack of development in prior issues, 'Black Panther' #15 lands with a thud, even as certain sequences stand strong. Read Full Review

I didn't hate this run, like it seems most people did. But this final issue had major pacing problems that made it a chore to get through at points.

A solid ending for this series. A lot of the ideas established here are certainly interesting when it comes to seeing how they'll play out in Eve L. Ewing's upcoming run, but there was just more to be desired here and from this run as a whole. A lot of this run had intriguing ideas without the best execution. Nonetheless, this issue gives Ridley's 15-issue run a solid finale.

The conflict coasts to a quiet, bittersweet ending, and then it's on to epilogue business. Wakanda's new status quo is affirmed, the new characters are shelved where other authors can find them if they want to, and T'Challa rides off into the sunset of exile. "Relief that it's over" is hardly the ideal feeling you want to evoke in your readers at the end of a run, but it is a (minor) positive for this issue. It also features good art and some snappy dialogue, making this finale a bit of an up-tick. Still, this volume isn't going into the hall of fame. The issue's theme suits the end of a problematic volume: This is where we are now, and there's nothing to do but move forward.

My issue with this run is the lack of respect for t’challa. This story loves wakanda and it’s people, yet our boi has to be humiliated every step of the way.

Art looks good but this run has been terrible, the minute T'challa said "I live for this" I knew BP fans were in trouble and I guess I was right John Ridley cannot write BP to save his life. Everything about this run from the action to the dialog makes 0 sense

Ridley should be ashamed of himself. He has officially lost his Black card. This run was the WORST Black Panther run ever!! So now Wakanda has no king/queen, now are allied with the same man who flooded and sent Thanos' henchman to burn it to the ground on a lie and as the cherry on the top, is being run by all the women like its Biden's administration. Thousands of years of tradition is supposed to be gone in a few months?!? This shit is why I'm reading less and less of Marvel and just reading strictly independent publishers.
