Black Panther, Vol. 2: Range Wars by Alex Ross, John Ridley, John Ridley
3.0

Not as strong as volume 1 but enjoyable none the less.

This time Black Panther comes to his allies for help. After the secrets start burying him, he begins to realize maybe it's to heavy a burden to fight back alone. The war for Wakanda rages here and ends. The next arc is more zanny and weird with a clear message by the end.

It's solid and good characterization for Black Panther and his growth. I also liked his somber moments, his doubts, but conviction being just as strong. A personal dealing with too much but never backing down. Interesting ideas if not fully realized. I think the second half of this book goes too supernatural and should be more grounded.

Saying that still a solid read and a 3 out of 5.
