Review:

     I feel kind of embarrassed to say this but this is the first time I have read anything about the Black Panther. I've always heard his name being bought up in the super hero circle but I'm glad that I can finally say I actually know something about him.

     For some odd reason I loved seeing all the blood being shed over the course of history. I enjoyed watching the villains plans come together then fall apart and the ending of this volume was left on pretty good cliff hanger as well. I really appreciate Black Panther more than other proclaimed super heroes simply because he doesn't have any special powers, he just knows how to use his two fist and two feet to kick ass.

     I 100% want to continue to read more of the Black Panther comics in the near future and I seriously can't believe it took me so long to jump on the Black Panther train. CHOO-CHOOO!!!
