BLACK PANTHER #7 "SOUL POWER IN THE HOUSE OF M”

HOUSE OF M Tie-In. A United Africa – ruled over by Storm and the Black Panther – has become an economic powerhouse and a thorn in Magneto’s side.

Hearing that Panther was being tied into “House Of M” sounded like a good idea, as it gives the book added exposure. But I was thinking how it would work as a one issue story. Well, it works real well! Hudlin has created a story that has a voice which fits perfectly within the context of the big event, but can still stand on its own. A well written aspect of the story was the fact that in an unobtrusive way, oppression was looked at. The fact that whoever’s doing it, its still the same thing. We see T’Challa really interacting with a lot of Marvel characters, which is a good sign for stories to come.

A lot of cats were worried how the book would go art wise once Romita Jr left. Opening up the book though, you really are wowed by Trevor Hairsine’s pencils. His line work is real crisp and he really has a fine touch for definition. His rendering of action is spot on and it matches the hard tone of what’s going on within the story. His expression work is real nice too and it works so well at the end. And like with the first arc, Dean White is on board to really add the finishing touches, with his incredible art pallet. And we can’t forget to mention the great job Kaare Andrews has done with the cover.

Report Card - C+
