T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2024

Book worth a buy?

IMO, not really. It reminds me of Jed's first arc on Avengers, which didn't work for me. But that's subjective.

the villains gave me vibes of Ashen Combine vs Avengers in his first arc .... but I was still surprised and entertained lol!

Yeah, I thought Blood Hunt #1 was a blast.

Not unless u like great art, a collect almost/anything BP is in. The end of the issue was great imo. The villains look bad ass. What BP did just set up his tie end which is find/makes sense. Normally what BP did is something I’d find offensive cause it usually in the context of some kind of Black character/person helping ( I’d usually that word to not spoil anything) a brunch of white & non black characters/ppl in fiction or & even real life. But in this case the fix that & made it not problematic imo.

I don't really see that as indicative of T'Challa regressing at all when the entire team got jumped and only barely got out of there because of his strategics and resources.

Though his final fate was probably just to set up the tie-in.

I'm not just talking about this issue in particular but as a whole. He comes off more like basic Batman instead of the prep master he is. He's attacking dudes with claws and a spear for Bast sake

The vampire invasion caught him completely by surprise. The assault by the Bloodcoven and plans by the big bad is supposed to be coming that out of nowhere that not even he expected it.

Its just simple hyping of the new Big Bads. Even Thor and Scarlet Witch got worfed to take them out of the game.

I dunno, he's felt pretty on-point in terms of being tactically proficient and skilled in Mackay's run in my opinion.

As I said, it's not about the last issue in particular, that was the point, the Avengers were betrayed and ambushed by a trusted ally.

I'm talking about ever since Eves discount Batman influence hit T'Challa has been reduced to dude with claws and a spear. Jed has highlighted his prep and intellect but it's more than just the big stuff, he should be considered a powerhouse, but instead he is always hanging around Cap, he is treated as peak human, and not super human with some powerful tech to go with it

Do you want tchalla to win every battle?

I am done with the Batman comparisons. If anything, T'Challa's counterpart is Doom, imo.

Both employ science & mysticism. BP used both when he defeated Mephisto, iirc.

Please point to where I said that or even hinted at that.

I said pretty clearly, that I don't like how T'Challa has been regressed in his capabilities as a whole. Jed has done a good job showcasing his intelligence and prep, but T'Challa is still being portrayed as very much the same level as Sam, which Sam is peak human. T'Challa fully realized should be IM level of capability.

T'Challa can and should still lose fights, but he should be more capable and facing off against stronger foes instead of being out in Sams tier. He is very much above Sam

I agree with you on that point. Which is why it was just pathetic that yet again doom was somehow more than prepared for vampires, at a random border of his country???

Honestly I think T'Challa in Avengers is depicted about how he's usually portrayed in the book. I don't get the sense he's Sam tier they just got paired up as a dynamic.
