[QUOTE=Chesterfield;5370691]Y'all need to carpet bomb the shyt out of Twitter with how good KIB:BP is. Let them know what's up and not this milquetoast nonsense Coates has deluded people into thinking is great literature.[/QUOTE]
Already done my part!
Just finished King in Black

Gotta say that KIB was amazing and everything I could have ever wanted in a BP book. Marvel is crazy for not allowing Redjack to deliver this T'Challa every month.
King of Black: Black Panther

The T'Challa and the Wakanda we deserve.

Well done, Mr. Thorne. Well done indeed.
[QUOTE=Cville;5370648][spoil]
It was okay. The pieces were all there, but after the opening battle, there were twelve pages of repeated conversations that pulled me out of the story. By the time the second battle came I had lost interest.
Checking the page count, looks like there are about 10 more pages than the average Marvel book. Cut out those extra and the book would be close to perfect
My story nitpicks are...
[spoiler]Storm and Shuri had a big falling out in X of Swords Wakanda. Tchalla as well, but him thinking about her isn't a stretch. As far as I know, that hasn't been resolved. Why is Shuri concerned about her at this point?
Okoye was as worried about the energy prowler being revealed as Shuri was about Storm taking the sword without Tchallas' permission. She didn't want the world to know. Was that because it could be easlily be smuggled into other countries for use?
Why use Klaws sonic cannon? Especially if he has to modify it anyway. lol[/spoil][/QUOTE]
I dont think anyone cares about sword of x, hence why ignored
It ignored prior canon and thus got equal treatment lol
Also, there was something a certain character(no spoilers) said towards the end of the issue that corrects what a main studio executive stated about the Black Panther franchise.
Thank you Redjack

Ignore the history certainly, but don't ignore the outcome, we need that to keep the franchise healthy. lol

That's not what I was asked to do. I was asked to write a KiB tie-in, not an X of Swords tie-in.

X of Swords decided to tie-in to Wakanda history. I'd say fair is fair if Storm is to be pictured in a Black Panther book.
X of Swords is only relevant insofar as it resulted in Storm and T’Challa breaking up. Everything else it did in terms of retconning Wakandan lore and fraying mutant/T’Challa relations is irrelevant and should be treated as such. The sooner people accept Marauders #13 was an editorial mandate with very little bearing on how these characters are supposed to relate in the future the sooner they will accept no other books are under any obligation to reference that shit book.
This KIB tie-in was everything a BP solo issue should be and then some, that it failed to reference a several month old book with little narrative worth doesn’t detract from that. If anything trying to contextualize how this issue ties to previous stories takes away from what is supposed to be a highly accessible story, all you need to know is monsters are invading and T’Challa has a lover. The nature of the threat and the struggles he’s had with that lover are completely irrelevant. Hopefully future BP writers discard XOS and don’t let it impede their story directions.

If the first bold is true than the second should be "had a lover". If the story is to be accessible the wouldn't it be easier to not have her appear or mentioned?
Because if first time readers see Storm than backtracks to X of Swords, they'll be mighty confused. lol
If its me, if a book is really good, Im going to research to see if there is more content.
