Panther Action in the Mighty Marvel Tradition

Marvel before Disney interfered. Great action, comedy, a little subversive... great work all around. My only complaint is that a collection of comics should properly complete a story cycle and this fails.

This book was entertaining, but in the way that a mindless Michael Bay film is entertaining. There wasn't any big message, just a lot of panels filled with over-the-top fights, elaborate traps, superstar cameos, and occasional romance. While reading it, I found myself pulled into the story and wanting to continue, but once I stepped away it was hard to come back.

Something I didn't like about the issues selected as part of this Black Panther anthology: the majority of the stories were told from the perspective of a federal agent named Everett Ross and his style of storytelling is disjointed and out of sequence. The first few times, the concept is novel. However, it's repeated for many of the issues collected in this anthology (I would venture at least ten out of the 18) and gets old.

Additionally, I was disappointed to get to the end of the anthology only to discover that the story arch did not complete. I understand this is volume 1 of several, but it would have been nice for the publishers to self-contain the volumes.

I will not be continuing my reading to subsequent volumes.

3 stars for the early parts that CP wrote, but that's it. This started off awesome (like 5 star awesome) and ended severely stupid. So sad. It seems like the series went south when CP's participation changed. I'll see the movie, but I won't continue reading. Can't make me.

It's fine. I think I don't really get Blank Panther.
