He stands featureless and masked up in a generic, light-swallowing Panther costume. On the whole, this was not bad at all. Supporting a man who was royalty literally from birth and has no discernible, visible, material flaws does not make you woke. Rating details. Superheroes can be misogynistic assholes too. May 16, Jack rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. This is definitely not going to work for everyone. You could totally start from here, having no familiarity with any of the Marvel universe, and follow along without too many problems. It's obvious that the ending came a bit quickly, as we don't wrap up what's going on with the gangs that Cole is targeting, but so it goes. After a decade long hiatus he is currently writing Deathstroke for DC Comics. Only about halfway through, because I keep putting it aside. Full disclosure: I made it halfway through Vol. However, what Priest brings to the world of BP must not be ignored or belittled. Priest does make some interesting commentary regarding colorism, black perspectives of American identity, and t My least favorite of Christopher Priest's phenomenal Black Panther series, volume four seems misleadingly named. It felt like Priest could throw off the shackles and just start fresh, with a new voice. View all 7 comments. Black Panther Collection. In place of an author's afterword, this Complete Collection includes Reginald Hudlin's pitch to Marvel for the series. The last comic book was pretty lame, though. Hudlin much prefers the Christopher Priest run of Panther. For shadowing some of the points I'll be making later I do think that Priest has some shortcomings when it comes to female and queer representation, but he certainly has some interesting things to say about race and his white characters are different.

Later this series will be the basis for a animated miniseries. The unusual storytelling, the funny, and the great, ongoing plots are things that just aren't matched by most comics out there.

While I will give Mark Texeira credit for the acting part of this, the bulk of the artwork for this volume is a sort of murky smudge, a swamp of hazy coloring and sometimes awkwardly rendered lines.

To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up. Overall a good insight and an enjoyable read. Priest's explanation of exactly what happened to get Panther into trouble gets a little over-convoluted, and this arc is a little too heavy on the exploding-and-fighting to be as great as its predecessors. It's the all-new Black Panther versus the White Wolf, as a crime novel in super hero comic form begins - but nothing in a Priest tale is ever black and white. This change of tone also impacted the writing. While Priest's choice of view point characters can be more then a little annoying, the decision to draw attention to the white lens most people would be reading through to be quiet smart. Excellent read. Priest's Black Panther often ended up a little too muddled in its later days. At some point Black Panther the real one dies, before the contents of this volume. Showing Cage and Logan and Thing and Namor and all the other dudes who are there just to ogle women's bodies should have known better. Apr 03, James DeSantis rated it really liked it.

So this is my first "full" reading of King T'Challa of Wakanda and it was good overall. Published August 13th by Marvel Comics first published February It also feels like there's an overly-abrupt dropping of the Killmonger story. Wakanda is invaded by a neighboring kingdom, aided and abetted by the 2nd Bush administration, as well as a super-villain team led by Ulysses Klaw. The artwork was pretty good. A lot of the issues I had with the previous volumes are completely cut out of this.

He saves the best for last, since The Crew is a very promising story that gets wrapped up early because it was getting cancelled. Jul 01, Justin Nelson rated it really liked it. I expect comic art to communicate motion and action clearly, and to have good acting and expressions on characters who are clearly recognizable. This change of tone also impacted the writing.

I don't wanna go so far as to say "of someone not taking the story very seriously," but kinda. They're strong character pieces defining our new team and they play fun games with chronology, as they jump back and forth between the past and the present. I can see why this book might have seemed like a big deal when it was released, a lot of comics didn't have this style back in the day, but between the Marvel Knights and Ultimate imprints, they sort of ran that style into the ground.
