Pretty good review.
[QUOTE=Triniking1234;3693767]Pretty good review.[/QUOTE]
that is what I thought as well.
[QUOTE=Mr MajestiK;3693097]But one has to question why?[/QUOTE]
That is a good question.
[QUOTE=MindofShadow;3693012]Yeah, Kirby was a self professed fan of Kirby.[/QUOTE]
Obviously a typo there (one I nearly made with Priest and Kirby, iirc), but still worth a snarky response: "I think you're confusing Kirby with Stan Lee" ;)
[QUOTE=Tony Stark;3693876]That is a good question.[/QUOTE]
I think a part of it was to give Shuri a way to stand out. If she were just a really good fighter, she sort of becomes interchangeable with some of the other females in the movie.
Ganora, Black Widow, and Valkyrie sort of fall into that category too.
But making her the smartest person on earth gives her a trait that separates her from the pack.
Black Panther Vol. 1 #3 - [i]Chaos in King Solomon's Tomb[/i]

Once again, this is Mr. Little's show and T'Challa's just along for the ride. Riding Mr. Little's super advanced plane not built by Wakandans, they follow Mr. Little's plan to a secret location inside the Atlas Mountains in North Africa. They land in the massive King Solomon's Tomb, which possibly once served as an ancient airfield. Look, I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.
Unfortunately, the future human is starting to awaken and cause havoc, forcing them to run farther into the tomb complex. They reach the tomb itself where T'Challa gets electrocuted by the locking mechanism. Luckily, Princess Zanda can unlock it. T'Challa enters and immediately sees some giant robot/monster thing.
At this point, T'Challa springs to life. One of the cool things I have to give credit to Kirby for is this: throughout the entire issue, T'Challa is without his mask. However, the second he starts fighting, that changes. It fits the ethos that this is his ritual mask - that, when he is fighting, he is no longer Prince T'Challa, but the Black Panther. However, he is no match for the creature until Mr. Little saves the day by cleverly using the future man as a weapon. Then they manage to find the matching frog and return the future man to the, well, future.
This issue suffers a lot from the same problems as last issue. Kirby is much more interested in the Collectors and Mr. Little than T'Challa. In fact, next issue seems to be devoted to explaining who they are - as if we care.

[B]Even still alot of ass patting and not really reviewing it in detail to anything other then superficial super level. It's still eat to early to claim Coates found his voice considering the issue was extremely vague with a heavy handed allegory for the European slave trade with known names sprinkled through and relying heavily on the top notch, beautifully drawn art.
Plus S2 was the same thing, started out like maybe Coates was getting the hang of things and writing a better T'Challa then back to the same ole sameill wait for someone to actually review without the need to ass pat and act as though Priest himself is writing this [/B]

again that reviewer appears to be a fan and sees it differently. and I quite disagree. coates has written tchalla as a dynamic character. and this story is a different spin on his character. so I stand by my comments that it seems overwhelmingly the review for issue 1 has been good and that includes readers who are fans of the character.
Guess who is coming to the North Texas Comic Book Show in July!!

[QUOTE]CHRISTOPHER PRIEST - Writer
Black Panther fans should be excited about the appearance of Christopher Priest at our show in July. Christopher’s credits include Black Panther (vol. 3), Amazing Spider-Man, Deadpool, Deathstroke, plus Action Comics and Green Lantern as Jim Owsley. Christopher is also the co-creator of Xero, Quantum & Woody, and The Crew.[/QUOTE]
Good grief the amount of stuff with his name that I have that he MUST sign.

Dynamic is a tuff sell for me. I feel like Coates BP suffers from depression. I might have said the same of Priest, but he had Tchalla do so many badass things, that I just took him for an a-hole. lol

lolol wait. did u not think the new issue number 1 wasn't badass? and why depressed? do you think his representation of tchalla is a reflection of coates personally feelings?

I was speaking more to his work as a whole, but he didn't even speak until the end of the book. And those lines felt rather depressed, but given the circumstances....
Plus he didn't even get away. Cool Hand Luke got away for a few days at least. lol

I think you could say that he was depressed in the first season. A faiked marriage and a dead sister wikl do that. But he seemed good the second, essentially getting all of the above back by that point.

Oh, if you are specifically speaking about issue 1 yeah ... I guess being a slave with amnesia can be kind of a downer. But it's not like it slowed him down. He took that depression out on anyone dumb enough to try and get in his way.

[B]That's fine, and again I'll wait till someone is going to review it and not be so quick to ass pat because it's Coates and therefore his story no matter how basic or bland, is more complex and dense then it is[/B]
