Haven't decided if I should put MK20th on there or not. It is kinda a team book I guess but at the same time feels pretty inconsequential

then again, I have the Crew on there and I think BP spoke more in MK20th than the Crew so....


Thoughts?

I've been struggling with this as well.

Double struggle because I hate the Crew book lol

Try to keep my personal bias out of some stuff, like this.

Maybe a section for honorable mentions or good showing?

BP&Crew could have been what Batman and the Outsiders is shaping up to be. Shoutout to Bryan Hill. Enjoyed the first issue.

The big reason to include The Crew, imo, is because it is a prequel that ties in to the rest of Coates's run.

I disliked MK20th and its hard to fit it in chronologically with anything else. I struggle far more with Daredevil. Realistically, it has to be set six issues or so before the end of Soule's run - maybe somewhere in Avengers of the New World if we're lining up the two books. I realize Black Panther's chronology is a mess at the moment because we have to fit in Black Panther, Shuri, and Avengers at some point, but it just makes the series feel less consequential.

I think at the top I am going to add "essential reading" vs "full reading"

Understandable.

I think historically a lot of Marvel Knights stuff have struggled to fit into continuity, so it's almost fitting that the MK20th would uphold that tradition.

In the same vein, is the Kasper Cole arcs (complete collection 4) really "essential" reading for T'challa?

On one hand, he is basiclly a legacy character, written by the GOAT, BP and his cast do eventually show up, you do get some Wakandan stuff in there, and it helps show you what happened to BP after he dipped out on the throne

On the other hand... it is a street level Kasper Cole book and it ends on a cliffhanger anyway so it isn't like you figure out what really happens lol.

I didn't even buy the trade because I don't really consider it essential and I don't really like it anyway but...

In the same vein, are there any pre-McGregor Avengers TPB/Collections you feels are worth inclusion?

I think you should add Marvel Knights 20th edition to your website. In fact, because of your website and another website where I can read comics, I recently purchased the graphic novel (disclaimer: it was on sale). Before I was a Panther fan, I was a HUGE Spider-Man & Daredevil fan. I bought it because as of this date it is the only comic that shows that BP could beat DD in a fight. Also I liked that BP took on Punisher and Electra.

I don't know if I have mentioned this, but I really like your Black Panther Appreciation Site.

I have two Question to everyone:

Which T'Chaka death story do you prefer?
1. Hudlin's
2. The Original Stan Lee/ Jack Kirby
3. Rise of the Black Panther

Which T'Challa earns the mantle of Black Panther/ tribal challenge version do you prefer?
1. Hudlin's
2. Rise of the Black Panther
3. Roy Thomas/ Christopher Priest

To the first question I personally prefer Hudlin's because the other versions make Wakanda appear weaker. The fact T'Chaka died outside of Wakanda and he was hard to kill seems to me to be better.

For the second, Rise of the Black Panther version was a good combination of all the versions except that I didn't like him using the gadgets on S'yan and setting up the traps on the Dora. The wakandans could accuse T'Challa of cheating because he could know where to set the traps since he's already royalty.

[MindofShadow]

Prefer Rise's T'chaka death. Pre-hudlin T'challa is too unadvanced (Hudlin's wakanda makes more sense even if it robs T'challa of his greatest feat) but I also don't liike T'chaka dying to basic gun either (t'challa said they figured out how to beat guns a loooong ass time ago).

Plus hiding under the floor? Come on, Wakanda as presented by Hudlin woulda found him in 5 seconds lol

Rise's version at least made sense.



Hudlin's Tournament. While I see the point of the prep (he figured out where they were gonna set up even though he shouldn't have been able to figure it out, even the field a bit agaisnt a peak human) I agree bout the gadgets

FTR, Kirby was the first to show T'challa's victory, not Roy or Priest. Kirby is where Hudlin got the idea from.



Original roy idea was... rather stupid lol. Although introducing the various trials was cool.
