Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers by Reginald Hudlin
4.0
For the most part, I really enjoyed this! I loved that it actually was a true split between Black Panther and Cap's stories.
It was a bit confusing that they don't tell you for sure which Black Panther this was until the 3rd issue really. I knew it wasn't T'Challa but I wasn't sure if it was T'Chaka. Timeline was, it was actually King Azzuri.
I liked that this story was primarily about Gabe Jones, King Azzuri and Steve Rogers. It showed an interesting, tentative alliance between the Black Panther and Captain America. Wakanda stays isolated from the world for very understandable reasons. It was interesting to see Gabe critic Wakandans for judging him based on the fact that his ancestors were stolen from Africa and native Wakandans were lucky enough that their ancestors were able to avoid that.
I mostly really liked that they made it clear that the Wakandans could handle themselves against the Germans. While I wish they'd shown the Dora Milaje doing more, overall, I enjoyed this story.
I would recommend it if you want a WWII story about Cap and BP fighting N*zis but I would warn for one pretty dark scene where the Germans capture some Wakandans.
