There’s a history, that goes back many years and its ramifications connect T’Challa the new Black Panther with Klaw. Find out what these events are inside and they might not be what you think!

Its official, Black Panther IS my favourite comic out there right now!!! Hudlin is putting together a gripping story that has threads which span different time periods. But the transition from one time to the next is smoother than a glass of Bailey’s. This issue we see how Klaw became (Steve Austin without the red jump suit) Klaw and find out how he’s connected to T’Challa. Hudlin has kept the essence of this incident, but has put a really good up-dated twist on it. In the present, we find out who else Klaw is working with in his efforts to invade Wakanda.

Just checkout how this book starts off, how crazy is that confrontation. The Rhino should always been drawn by Romita Jr. When I look at him, his suit actually resembles hide, rather than just an ordinary costume. Romita Jr also seems to have a perfect ability to capture the innate nature of a character. T’Chaka has a steady regalness to him, where as the Nigandan leader is clearly a callous bully. Within Klaw you can see his conniving treacherous spirit, but in the Black Knight there’s a naive pureness. I would say that I didn’t really feel Klaw’s hand attachment, but the Dora Milaje looked badarse.

Report Card - B+
