Agents of W #2 was hot. If Avengers had started like this, the first arc would have been better. Zub writes a good team book.

I have to disagree. This issue was basically a spotlight for spoilers:end of spoilers, who basically took down the bad guy (who, I may add, used to be a serious threat) single-handedly with a deus ex machina power that I'm pretty sure has never been seen before.
Fat Cobra
Meanwhile, everyone else pretty much did nothing of note. T'Challa's "feats" amounted to spoilers:end of spoilers.
calling Thor for help
Oh, wait. No. he also spoilers:end of spoilers! That changes EVERYTHING!
threw a kick
Man y'all making me torn here. I'll read it and give my two cent in a bit
I wouldn't even give him that much credit. Coates is nothing me than faux-woke phoney getting a check to simp-out the most high profile black male hero in comics medium. It's all the more funny when his narrative of the character is contradicted by the movie and every other written depiction that is currently out here. As of now his status of Panther trash writer is lower than Mayberry. ...Only due to the fact Coates should know better.
So inread AoW.. I dunno i liked it. It was a good team issue and it had sone okay showings for T'Challa. Way better than anything in his Solo and on par with guest appearances. spoilers:end of spoilers
not going to lie, i do wish we saw Wakandan tech hit sentry instead of Thor since this book is supposed to be about AoW doing missions avengers can't buy can look past that
I don't know anything about fat Cobra some maybe my fellow brotheren can explain spoilers:end of spoilers to me since it didn't seem too bad and it's not as though it was an actual take down like I was expecting
cobras ability we saw
And and BoG you missed two other feats T'Challa had spoilers:end of spoilers
a second kick and he dodged a punch from sentry which I think is alright in my book
Honestly I'll keep reading it and see what else comes up. I don't expect T'Challa to take over the book as much as I would love that, as long as he is front and center and on command in interested in what comes up. I think the arcs and team is small enough that everyone will get their own focused arc of it lasts to 12 issues
Hmm, "subverting black male machismo" Coates said that in another io9 article about a book he wrote a couple of months ago. His first fiction novel about a super powered slave. Granted I haven't read a lot of Black Panther, but T'Challa never struck me as a super macho type. A leader? Yes. Confident and sure of himself? Yes. Hyper-Masculine? No. Wolverine all day, but not T'Challa. Wasn't Coates supposed to be writing a Storm solo? Or did they axe that when Hickman came back?
