Black Panther #11

Part 11 of Ta-Nehisi Coates's ambitious "A Nation Under Our Feet" saga arrives with a cover by Brian Stelfreeze that crackles with energy — two powerful figures stand atop a massive boulder etched with glowing purple circuitry, one wielding a staff wreathed in luminous energy while the other delivers a sweeping kick that sends soldiers flying, as armed combatants surge from all sides against a billowing amber sky. The dynamic composition, with electricity sparking at the base and a craft exploding in the background, conveys a nation in open conflict and two warriors holding a precarious high ground. With interior work from Chris Sprouse and a team of skilled inkers and colorists, this 2017 Marvel issue promises the same thoughtful, visually rich storytelling that has defined this run.
