Black Panther #9

Investigating a sudden outburst of strange, mutated wild animals in Africa, the Black Panther and the X-Men – led by Storm – team up to contend with their creator – the nefarious Dr. Paine. But to get to Paine, they’ve first got to get through Red Ghost, the Dragon Man, and an endless array of Super-Apes!

Well, the good thing is, this storyline is now done and dusted and hopefully next issue we can get back to the goodness. The story continues pretty much from where we left off with X-Men #176 and mostly in the same tone. The only thing is, it doesn’t really do much to stimulate the imagination. Hudlin puts in some jokes and the character interaction is a little better than X-Men, but it still feels like somewhat of a let down.

Again, the Panther art team come through and deliver more of an impact than what we see in the X-Men issues. Yardin, like Larroca does a real good job with the action, but he also brings all the emotion to the characters. And even though Dean White doesn’t colour the whole issue, Matt Milla doesn’t lose a step.
