Got delayed until November

We have a few solicits and an unlettered preview of #1. That is just about it.

Interview from the Legends writer. Seems very excited to expand on Hunter. The Storm stuff is going to be interesting.

I’m glad he sees the potential in Hunter. He deserves to be an A lister in T’Challas rogues gallery. And speaking of Hunter, would you prefer him to have an African accent or an American sounding one like in BPQ.

[Ekie]

I'm not sure. What is the official age Hunter was found? It would make sense that he would try to form an accent in an effort to fit in

Just in time for the highly anticipated film, witness the early years of the man who will come to rule one of the most scientifically advanced countries in the world! Wakanda has always kept itself isolated from Western society, but that’s all about to change. Young T’Challa knows he is destined to become king, but when his father is brutally murdered by outsiders, he’ll find himself taking up a mantle he may not be ready for. Experience never-before-seen drama from the reign of T’Chaka, the king whose death changes a nation’s history forever. Learn about the mother T’Challa never knew. See how the world learns about this wondrous nation for the first time. Will the power of the Black Panther be enough to keep his country safe? Journalist Evan Narcisse makes his comics debut alongside acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates as they chronicle T’Challa’s rise to the throne – and to the Panther legacy that made him an Avenger.

Oh. Thanks, Digi.
So my next question would be...how many times have they told that story? And how has it varied from telling to telling?

[DigiCom]

Sounds to me like he's more interested in writing Hunter & Storm...

Ah that sucks, thank you for your answers.

He was found when he was a baby so I would say about a year old. Maybe two.

Oh jeez... there are at least three tellings of his origin (FF #52-53, Hudlin's first arc, and Rise). The first & third are basically the same, Hudlin's origin is drastically different (but was originally meant to be out-of-continuity, as I understand it).

They all have Klaw pulling the trigger, of course. It's just the contexts are different.

Wow, that's weird. CBR is censoring links to itself? http://tinyurl.com/bporigins

Kinda/sorta?

spoilers:

Shuri only appears on two pages riding some sort of hovercart and crashing into his bedroom, where she asks if T'Challa wants to see her lab

end of spoilers

That's pretty much the only time intelligence is even hinted at. T'Challa is too young to be more than a bit of a scrapper.

(If anything, this story seems to be attempting a pre-emptive reformation of Hunter, oddly enough.)

that doesn't make sense for Shuri to be doing that then. Why would that be default for her but T'Challa has to work into it?

[Ezyo1000]

I mean if it's out of continuity and T'Challa isn't dumbed down to basically Black captain America then whatever.

Edit:

I read it. It's fine I guess nothing too unique or anything. I gotta say, out of all his showings of his death, Rise might of had the best showing for T'Chaka. My earlier point still stands

[Huntsman Spider]

And we've made it past 800 pages. Congratulations, Black Panther Appreciation 2021 Thread! Hopefully we can make it to 1,000 before the end of the year.

Basically the same outside of an extra sibling
