What an amazing collection of stories involving the Black Panther and Wakanda. I felt as if I've come to a better understanding of the culture and history behind this character and others surrounding him. Though Wakanda is fictional, much of what is shared in these stories is very real, not the least being the emotions that jump from the pages. Powerful stories, each unique and yet the same. A definite must read and not just for Marvel fans.
After listening 3h 23m 43s od this audiobook I give it 2.3*. Finished Killmonger story. Bad naration in one tone and not so catchy stories for now.
I loved this anthology written by authors of the African Diaspora. I have never followed comic books, and my only exposure to Black Panther was from the movie, so many of the characters and backstory were not familiar. I especially liked the stories that featured female characters as the protagonists. I wasn't as keen on the stories that concentrated on violence, but I guess that is part of the Black Panther universe. I would love to see a future anthology that highlights all female characters,
(I averaged my ratings for all 18 of these stories and came up with 2.7 stars for the book). It’s possible that if I hadn’t come into this with high expectations, I might have enjoyed it more — that’s on me. But I did (have high expectations), and therefore wasn’t as impressed as I’d hoped to be. Overall, I’m glad the book exists and that I read it. Black readers ought to see themselves more often represented as both characters and authors in every genre, and readers of all colors and origins co...
This was a fun collection of short stories featuring different characters from the Black Panther comics, including Shuri, Storm, Monica Rambeau, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and more. Of course, one of the things about short story collections is that sometimes you really like certain stories and wish they would continue and explore what happens next. Narrators JD Jackson and Joy Sunday did an excellent job on the audio book.
Loved all the stories.
A copy of this book was provided by the publisher. All thoughts and opinions my own.With the popularity of Black Panther by Disney, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that fans want more stories. Enter Black Panther: Tales of Wakanda, an anthology of 18 different stories, all based around Black Panther characters. Edited and compiled by Jesse J. Holland, Black Panther: Tales of Wakanda offers lots of different viewpoints from Wakandan characters, some well known and others that exist in the comic book...
The depiction of wakandans and Wakanda was tremendous I wouldn’t want spoil the broth. Get it!!It’s amazing
While it is not something I like but it is a great collection of stories that covers a wide range of subjects related to the Marvel Universe with the Black Panther and Wakanda as the center. I also like that references stuff that has not yet been introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe like Storm from the X-Men and Namor.
Original short stories that feature longing, heritage and discovery—a reliving of Wakanda.
This was a solid collection but a long haul to get through. They could've cut it to 10 or 12 stories and I wouldn't have minded, 18 was too many.I enjoyed many of these stories, but others were just meh. My favorite was "Bon Temps," where Shuri goes to New Orleans during Mardi Gras and fights vampires with Monica Rambeau. I also enjoyed the one where T'Challa goes to Mississippi and finds a lush piece of land where a variant of the heart-shaped herb grows. The Killmonger story was fantastic, too...
I had high hopes for the Black Panther Tales of Wakanda collection - having read an earlier Black Panther novel, I was aware that the novelization (and even this anthology of authors from the African Diaspora) would follow the similar vein of basing the characters and stories with arcs and established lore from the comics. The anthology was a good mix of T'Challa stories and those that unfolded the history and relations that Wakanda has had internally and internationally both with other nation s...
Black Panther debuted 55 years ago, so there’s a lot of material to work with. This anthology of stories from all Black writers (the first of its kind) about T’Challa and those around him are great, mixing the rich histories of these characters with contemporary darker themes of racism and slavery. I’ll admit before starting this book, my knowledge of this superhero was largely limited to MCU movies. What I found here were some moving stories that get into the psyche of these characters, many of...
The choice for the order of the stories was an interesting one. There was a lack of consistency in what specific Marvel universe thread or timeline we were following at any time, but overall I had a good time with this anthology. The Killmonger story was so good I read it twice and I always enjoyed the Dora Milaje tales. Storm was has a badass cameo that I thoroughly loved. Overall, not bad but can be a bit overwhelming for those new to the Marvel universe outside of the MCU.
Only DNFd one of the many many stories in this anthology. That’s pretty good in my book.

it's ok. it's ok. i enjoyed the stories about regular wakandans and okoye and ororo more than the ones about t'challa or shuri, except for that one story that had monica rambeau.
This is a gorgeous book. I understand I'm probably not supposed to lead with that. I can't help it. It's a beautiful cover on a hefty book that promises—actually shouts—adventure inside! The book doesn't lie. Don't shy away from the book if you're not a Black Panther expert. Before I read the collection, I knew one thing about Black Panther: the movie. Yeah, sometimes I didn't quite get the references, but I read books all the time where the references are a little lost on me. You roll with it,
