[QUOTE=Bukdiah;3479182]Excuse me, guys.
I have read Priest's run and read some of Hudlin's but didn't like it much. Are there any series you can recommend to get my BP fix?[/QUOTE]
Honestly if you're not a fan of Hudlin and Priest, the BP stuff to your liking might be somewhat few and far between.
Aarons See Wakanda and Die Secret Invasion tie-in is my all time favorite BP story. I'd check that out.
David Liss Man Without Fear BP arc IMO is the best BP we've gotten since Priest (though if you're not a Priest fan that praise might not mean a whole lot). But if you're willing to see the character outside his standard status quo, give that a shot.

The David Liss complete collection is probably where I'd go. You can also pick up the Aaron "See Wakanda and Die" arc on its own digitally (the physical trade is out of print, iirc, though it is also in the Complete Collection of Hudlin Vol 3).

Oh, I've read Priest's run until Kasper Cole and liked it for the most part. I read Who is Black Panther by Hudlin and didn't like it much so I never continued.

Rise of the Black Panther is a perfect series for newcomers since it tells the story of T’Challa’s first year as king.

FWIW, I don't think Who is the Black Panther is the best of Hudlin. Some of my complaints from that story persist, but I thought the story surrounding it got much better. To me, World Tour (and the Civil War tie-in) is the one I'd point to as his defining story.

Point of reference.
For many years, Reginald Hudlin's introduction of Shuri into the BP mythos was a bone of contention for some within BP's fanbase who incorrectly perceived her as being a "threat" to T'Challa's forward momentum.
I confess that I too, was one who shared these self same fears initially but after awhile, Shuri grew on Mr as a character until I found myself totally enamoured of her character and eventually totally cognizant of the genius level move on Hudlin's part, in introducing her into the mythos in the first place.
Now we see how integral to the BP movie Shuri has turned out to be and moreso how much she alongside, Okoye, Ayo, Queen Mother Ramonda, Nakia and the Dora Milaje have resonated with young girls and women in general, who've seen this film.
Reginald Hudlin knew what he was doing.
Props to him for his prescient foresight.

Yeah, for volume 4 at least I'd say that was Hudlins best arc. Despite the horrible art in the Civil War tie in (and I swear it seems to look worse and worse everytime I go back and read it), that was a stand out story that really showed how much Hudlin grew as a writer since his earlier arcs.

[QUOTE=Tmacaoni;3478964]You raise an interesting question. I would love to know what happens here as well although its a clear case of serving the throne.
I also want to know about the [spoil] Heart shaped herb. The whole layer was burnt to the ground. Is this something that just regrows in weeks are does the challenging tradition have to change? [/spoil][/QUOTE]
I imagine this was done for story purposes moving forward as The CoolThatguy said, but I was really surprised when that happened in the film

Looks like the movie is going to break another record for the second weekend turnout. One of my co-workers asked to go see the movie with us tomorrow. Her first time. I warned her that most people are probably seeing it for the 3rd or 4th time, so don't be surprised if you hear people reciting every line in the movie by rote.

[B] Continue. Hudlin's Run is great. Bad mutha, 4 the hard way, CW to in world tour, and little green men arcs are great. And SWaD[/B]

[B]This all the more frustrating that he doesn't get his due.
People constantly say Priest has the definitive run for Tchalla and that's true, but they leave out that it was Hudlin who made Tchalla mainstream and shed light on Priests run. To take that away is a crime.
Hudlin is becoming an unsung Hero[/B]

How some people choose to downplay Hudlin's run and overall contributions to the Black Panther mythos is neither here nor there in the wake of Letitia Wright's breakout performance as Princess Shuri on the big screen.
Creating such an awesome character and introducing her into the BP mythos made a lot more sense than Priest's frankly speaking, ludicrously convoluted introduction of Hunter aka White Wolf to the proceedings as T'Challa's adoptive elder brother.
Shuri's popularity in the movie speaks volumes to Hudlin's overall genius in launching her in the first place. :cool:

[B] Shuri is genius and Letitia nailed the role. I'm glad she made it. And your right he will have credit for it. I still wish he would be recognized more for his contributions, since he actually deserves it unlike Coates[/B]

To me, it's a bit like how some choose to ignore the Contributions of Don McGregor to the Black Panther mythos.
Don McGregor's run introduced Killmonger into T'Challa's world and he was one of the first writers to fight for T'Challa and Wakanda to be fleshed out as mature characters to be explored and examined in a mature manner devoid of the simple cookie cutter superhero it's that obtained back in the 70's.
Without McGregor's fight to keep Wakanda uniquely African in the face of editorial interference and ignorance, there would have been nothing for Priest, Hudlin and all subsequent writers to build on.

Saw the movie last on Thursday. I really enjoyed it especially Boseman and Jordan's performances. It stuck with me more than most MCU movies.
[QUOTE=The Cool Thatguy;3478798]Marvel has avoided mystical stuff even in movies like Dr. freakin' Strange.
Sad to say, I doubt we'll see T'Challa punch out Mephisto on the big screen[/QUOTE]
How did they avoid mystical stuff in Dr Strange.
