Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #391

Black Panther #6 — Writer: Ta-Nehisi Coates;  Pencils: Chris Sprouse;  Inks: Karl Story;  Colors: Laura Martin Scarlet Witch #10 — Writer: James Robinson;  Art: Kei Zama;  Colors: Ian Herring Spider-Man #8 — Writer: Brian Michael Bendis;  Art: Nico Leon;  Colors: Marte Gracia Only a couple of Marvel books to note this time — after a few light weeks, the DC “Rebirth” issues are back to sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
