The book is great I'm loving it.
There have only been two people to say anything about today's issue before Ty and Montez:
[QUOTE=MindofShadow;3751993]BP 2 Spoilers.
[spoil]
- T'chalal destroys an entire fleet himself. he is obviously enhanced while the others are not. NO one knows how he is doing this.
- cut to the emperor... aka movie Killmonger with a weird symbiote acting like suit. does bad guy stuff (aka kill and torture)
- they talk a bit about a prophesy of T'challa the Wise.
- the rebels were after the Mkran crystal and got it
[/spoil]
Pretty much summed this up in four sentences by the way. Read it fast before i have to work so I might hav emised somthing.
Acuna is CARRYING this book right now. THere is very little substance here. Would have been a fine "action filler" issue except... we just kinda sorta had one of those and we still don't know what is really going on other then "rebels good, empire bad."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Cville;3752023]I was going to call it a wash at around a 6 for wasting an issue, but the second half was really good. Mostly an info dump, but the art for those scenes helps to sell it.
[Spoil]It is strongly implied that Tchalla shows up claiming to be himself(lol) with his memory intact and the empire captures him and wipes his memeory. Also pushed strongly for time travel, but not confirmed.[/spoil]

Neither of this people said the book sucked. Both people gave reasons for there thoughts.
So I find responses like this...
[quote][B]I guess I'm in the minority [/B]but I'm loving the book[/quote]
[quote]Majority of people actually like it..
It's the the loud minority in certain BP groups that will complain
No matter what..
They simply don't like Coates ..[/quote]
To be a bit odd. I don't know why there is a need to create a victim complex here. Frankly, most people last issue said it was fine/good too and praised the art. The ones that had problems with it gave reasons and discussed why.

you hit this right on the money and I'm GLAD you said it! please keep spreading the truth.
[QUOTE=Montez;3752289]The book is great I'm loving it.[/QUOTE]
me too!!!! Coates has really stepped his game up with this book!
Or stepped aside. The writing is much simpler than he usually does. Allowing the art to sell the story.

I actually think both the story and the art compliment each other quite well.

Exactly, he is not trying to overwrite the story. The art does the work.
Which is the "Marvel Method"

As far as the victims mentality goes... can you honestly say you've never read a poster say or at least imply that some posters who like Coates work are "unfans?" I think that's sort of where that comes from. Perhaps not intentionally, but I do think at times the criticism of Coates work bleeds over a bit on some peoples opinions of other posters.
That said, it's hardly the mentality the majority of posters feel. Just a few here and there, so it's not as big an issue as it may feel like at times.

Honestly I think comics work best when they work that way. Comic aren't novels... they are a visual medium. I think when when you can tell a story without the word balloons getting in the way of the art, you're doing it the right way.
The downside is that it can make for a quick read. But overall I think when the visuals can carry the load, a story just works better.

I feel it is a bit TOO simple at the moment.
I would have preferred a background issue that tells us what is going on. What is the Wakanda Empire? How did this happen? What universe are we in? Why did they go bad? ect ect.
But, at least the art is pretty and T'challa is a bad ass. Could be worse.
But every issue we have that is nothing but action means we have less time fleshing out the new characters (aka EVERYONE because it is a complete new cast), less time explaining the the Wakanda Empire, less time on the plot... it will eventually have to start rushing to conclude everything. Which is a problem the last two seasons had.

Because that mystery is sort of the heart of the story, I think they are holding off on telling us that till later. I think they are dropping bread crumbs as far as hinting on what's going on... but I doubt we'll get any concrete answers until at least halfway through the story.
So, T'challa... powers wise...
[spoil]it looks like he was using the Soul Stalking thing to be able to all that shit he was doing right?
soul stalking + just being enhanced in general + being "three steps ahead"?
Or did he get his Kirby powers back? lolol

[COLOR="#000080"]Wow.
I don't dislike Coates. I dislike what he's done to BP.
Myself and many others have pointed out tons of problems with Coates run.
He changes isht for no reason and no of the changes benefit BP.
He butchered Wakanda with that no one man bs.
He gave every major feat to some other character.
He retconned isht that didn't need to be.
He doesn't follow up on the isht he changes.
If there are people who like what Coates is doing that's all well and good.
But the problems many people have with him are based on what actually done in the books and not some "we just don't like Coates" isht.

[spoil]I think we need an explanation not how their fighters work. It's got some sort Exo-Squad component to it, but the ship must already be capable of moving like that. It just needs a "New Type"(Zeek Zion)[/spoil]

yeah, it seemed like the ship
[spoil]was connected to his brain right? [/spoil]
