Black Panther Vol. 2: Enemy Of The State

Like I said before, Christopher Priest's Black Panther run was probably the definitive run for the character. His use of nonlinear storytelling and humorously titled micro-chapters just propels everything into this insane barrage of pop culture, action, and political intrigue that has not since been matched in comics. This volume follows the title character as he deals with a coup in his home nation, Wakanda, intercut with Bill Clinton attacking Everett K. Ross with a hockey stick and the Avengers mucking everything up. The only downfall is that in the seven issues here they go through like three different artists, although Mark Brooks knocks it out of the park at least.

RATING: 85%

I like that Glenn doesn't care no one comments on the comic reviews.

I appreciate you, Glenn. Really, I do.
