When Klaw unfurls his carefully orchestrated siege on Wakanda, there’s no place to hide. Cutting a swathe through Wakanda’s ground forces – the Rhino and Batroc. Slicing through Wakanda’s aerial defensives -- the Black Knight. And striking a blow where no one would ever expect – the Radioactive Man. Wakanda’s protector has never faced a challenge like this. Can the Black Panther persevere?

Things are really starting to heat up in Wakanda, as Klaw’s invasion begins. Hudlin is really giving this story room to breathe and not trying to force a square through a triangle. An interesting thing we get to see this issue is the way religion can blinker and lead to a force sense of subservience or righteousness. And the way this issue ends, what’s really cooking in the White House!?!

The thing that really stood out this issue was Dean Whites colours. He created a real nice dull affect for the dream sequence. But the main thing has to be how he’s made the Black Panther stand out in his uniform, but at the same time seem dense. But without the mask, he becomes warm, with a whole lot of depth.
