While the Black Panther furiously battles the Black Knight 5 miles above Wakanda, Klaw and his team lay siege to the Royal Palace. But who or what are they after!?!

Even though it was still good, issue #4 was slightly off the boil, from the first three instalments of this story. So I was interested to see how Hudlin would progress things this issue. Well, lets jus say he kicks booty, mucho grando! The story has an energy to it, that doesn’t relent. We get to see plot progression, interwoven with a lot of action. What more can you want! Hudlin show’s use what is happening with each of the antagonists (what’s Hannibal up to?) and he hits us with what the White House has cooking (definitely was expecting that). And to top it all off, we see what the Panther’s all about……..by any means, baby!!!

What goes with a banging story………explosive art of course. And that’s what Romita Jr delivers. That first splash page really sets the tone of what the reader has to look forward too. The action this issue is captured in a way that makes you feel like you’re right there, in the middle of it. We get some authoritative shots of the Panther and then the transition of see him in action is flawless. And at the end, Klaw really looks maniacal. Oh and I can’t forget the fantastic cover this month, by Terry Dodson!

Report Card - C+

Koncise an out :)
