Lol.
I agree, but I cut Stelfreeze slack because he has that one iconic Black Panther cover. I have two of those in mint condition, unopened, they’ve already doubled in value. But yeah just in terms of facial features, outside his suit, he looks old and kind of sickly and thin.

basically, for BP atleast, stelfreeze is a great cover artist, but the contents inside were lacking. Still fire covers though

I kind of agree with you if only cause most of know 99.9% of the current writers will NEVER give T'Challa a hard win over either of these 2 douche bags! I almost like what happen under Coates where main universe barely cared what happened in BP's book. Coates just failed horribly to advantage and build up the Wakandaverse along with improving on T'Challa.
Yea it's just a matter of moving on. T'Challa got his ass kicked by Doom, he'll never get true revenge and I've accepted it lol. The best way to move on from that story is to tell a better one that'll beat it in sales and influence. Coates' Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda arc could've been that for reasons we've discussed a bunch in this thread, but it wasn't.
I'm fine with the next BP run being all insular. What I don't want is for the run to be insular and for critics to hype up how the writer is changing the fabric of the Marvel Universe when no one outside the BP line gives two shits lol. Personally I'd like to see Ridley use characters from other franchises and do team ups every now and then because I like there to be some connective tissue for story/sales reasons. I don't want the BP title to get turned into a satellite Avengers book or for the guests to take over but I would be interested to see Ridley pick up on some of the threads that Aaron is creating in that book.
Wakanda has all this tension with America and Russia, let's see how that plays out on the margins. Maybe America wants to destabilize neighboring Niganda or Russia wants to dominate trade in East Africa. I'd like to see team ups with Cap and for Voodoo to be a consistent supporting character. There's definitely room for stories to be told that tie into the wider MU while still pushing forward T'Challa's development.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Spoilers for What IF series re Killmonger. Take it FWIW
https://www.theilluminerdi.com/2021/...onger-what-if/KILLMONGER JOINS TONY STARK IN WHAT IF…?
Our sources have informed us that Michael B. Jordan’s Erik Stevens/Killmonger will be a key player in an episode of Marvel Studios’ What If…?. However, rather than going after the throne of Wakanda, Stevens will go international thanks to a new friendship with Tony Stark.
Safe to say, if there’s any two characters fans wouldn’t have expected to team up, it would likely be Iron Man and Killmonger!
The two do share a common thread having both graduated from MIT within the MCU, although their paths diverted greatly after receiving their college degrees. Tony became a premier captain of industry and eventually a superhero, while Stevens became a top-notch covert special-ops soldier with more kills under his belt than anybody in his unit.
Robert Downey Jr. Bag Man Killmonger
Tony Stark was recently confirmed to also be taking a trip to Sakaar in What If…?, potentially taking Thor’s place in Thor: Ragnarok. Whether this connects directly to his relationship with Killmonger is a mystery, but then again, nearly every part of this show remains a mystery at the moment.

The biggest question now is whether Killmonger will be more of a heroic figure or if he will go down and even darker villainous path than he did in Black Panther. Whatever the case may be, fans will be paying close attention to one of the Infinity Saga’s most appreciated villains.
