Benchmark for Modern Day Black Panther Stories
By Anarchy in the US
When a Marvel character is announced for the big screen, you know an incoming of new printings is inbound to be published. With his first appearance next year in Captain America: Civil War and his own film in 2017, Black Panther is a character long over due for the spot light. Which, you would think being the first African American superhero in comics would get you more respect than some other characters since appearing in 1966.
So goes with a quick recap: T'Challa, AKA Black Panther ; King of Wakanda, an African nation with some of the most wealthiest and advanced technology in the world thanks to it being the location of vibranium, one of the most sought after minerals in existence. Black Panther is super hero for the Avengers and leader/monarch figurehead to the Wakandan people. Now that means there have been numerous interpretations of the character throughout the years, but it wasn’t until the character was relaunched in 1998 series under black writer Christopher Priest where he became the modern day version everyone uses now. And yes, it’s a pleasant offering for new and old readers on Black Panther.
Collecting issues #1-17 (, BLACK PANTHER BY CHRISTOPHER PRIEST VOL.1 COMPLETE COLLECTION shows T'Challa comes to America to investigate the kidnapping and murder of a little girl who was affiliated with a Wakandian charity group. Tensions are high for Wakanda having a civil war back home, but T’Challa feels he needs to investigate this himself even with problems in his home land. So T’Challa brings his own entourage of body guards including Zuri, a hulk-like fighter and two teenage assassin’s named the Dora Milhje, with government agent Everett K. Ross is assigned as an escort to assist and keep relations with Wakanda. He figured it would be easy work and just tailed along with the King's entourage. But things go crazy quickly as Black Panther has been setup, his home country been taken over from his absence, and the lord of Hell, Mephisto, has something to do with all of it.
Various versions of Panther existed before Priest took control like the 70’s being very serious and reflective, to Jack Kirby being over the top. Priest reverts Panther more akin to Stan Lee’s original version being able to outsmart the likes of Reed Richards (who is one of the smartest characters in the Marvel Universe) and go toe-to-toe with The Thing, while adding a some of his past versions as to no alter the character’s rich history. This makes Priest work on Panther parts urban vigilante, political thriller, and even satire.
The first twelve issues are one tightly woven story of Black Panther dealing with the kidnapping case and reclaiming Wakanda, while issues #13 through #17 are single/two issue tales of Panther teaming up with various Marvel characters that are quite amusing to see the interaction with. This is made up for the narration of the stories by Everett K. Ross, who speaks through his observations in a highly comical and witty method to his superiors (for example he loses his pants in front of Mephisto and by accidently selling his soul for pants, he just keeps unzipping his pants to have another pair on). He’s a coward and a bit dumb, as well as explains his stories in a non-linear narrative akin to the Quentin Tarantino film, Pulp Fiction (which even his superior mentions this). So while Ross is the comedic relief and narrator, Black Panther or “the Client” as Ross says, is the straight man with very little to say. It’s a great way to counter balance the vibe for readers.
And because Panther is the straight man, Priest makes Panther very much like DC’s Batman in his abilities and gadgets, his overall look, and insane strategist skills in keeping 10-steps ahead of everyone, so much so that he admits to joining the Avengers just so he can keep an eye on them if they were a threat to Wakanda . Even his new villain Achebe, looks and acts an awful lot like DC’s Joker with a large grinning smile and crazy habits. This Batman-esque Black Panther has become the standard for modern day writers to inhabit that makes this a worthwhile read, being more about using his smarts and being open to the world.
The art supplied from the first 5 issues is Mark Texeira, Vince Evans doing the second story arc with Joe Jusko and Mike Manley, with Sal Velluto doing the rest. The art is great that ranges from gritty to comical (like issue #8 having an ode to Stan Lee/Jack Kirby flashback sequence). It’s overall good stuff. With the addition of the Marvel Knights Sketchbook extras that give numerous drawings and interviews to Priest on the character that are worth reading.
Now I know my Amazon rating is 5 stars, but I’m scoring it around 4 ½ stars. The only problems I had were the storytelling method Priest uses like Pulp Fiction is confusing at first. In fact, it’s used predominantly throughout his whole run on Black Panther. It does ease up in later issues, but the shifting story might not jive well with some readers. And the second aspect might be the racism aspect some readers might get. What I mean by this is the dichotomy between Ross and Panther that some sources have pointed out throughout the years. Ross is the bumbling white guy who gets chased down the White House by the Present of the United States while Black Panther is the cool-headed, rich super hero. I personally didn’t get that vibe, as well as Priest himself not portraying dumb ethnicities. He even goes so far as to have a few scenes where black characters try to sway Panther into a symbol for African Americans, which Panther shoots this down and looks at all lives, regardless of skin color, being vital to life. But I just wanted to point that out if any new readers get that feeling. And the notion of Black Panther being a Batman-like clone might gel well either (even if both characters have different upbringings and motives).
Still, I’m glad Marvel decided to reprint these fine stories. They are exciting, funny, and even insightful to still read about and make Black Panther stand out from the other characters. It was ground-breaking stuff back in the day, which you can see why he has become a powerful figure in modern Marvel comics thanks to Priest work on the character. Well with Black Panther making his film debut next year, this is the first collection to be released to lead up to next year. The first two trades (Black Panther Vol. 1: The Client and Black Panther: Enemy Of The State TPB) are out of print and pricey, with much of Priest work uncollected before. So with writing a whopping 62-issues, there is plenty of Black Panther material on the way.

An Important Collection for A Thoroughly Important Character
By RoB
Not much that I can add to this list of reviews that hasn't already been said. Except for explaining the Title of this review. I've been labeled Peter Pan by coworkers because of my growing collection of graphic novels & comics...a medium of storytelling I couldn't afford as a little boy in the Caribbean but can spend "vast" amounts of money on now as an adult. In my 33 years of life & 27 years of reading I'd never come across a character as important (to me) as T'Challa: a dark-skinned super-hero who's a KING, noble, powerful, cunning and (according to many of the female characters herein) sexy. I found Hudlin's (Who Is) Black Panther volume by chance, which sent me to pick up this Collection 1 by Priest. Priest's writing (for me) set a standard. There are some plot twists that I didn't see coming, with BP having double- and triple-crossed many of the enemies he encounters...there are (still relevant) explorations of race with regards to how "white" America sees "black" America and how darker-skinned Americans see themselves...using Everett Ross as the narrator and (according to Priest) voice of not only white America but ALL of comic fandom with regards to how he/we saw the BP character to that point was genius...the invention of the deadly Dora Milaje and the innate conflicts that come with having two deadly, teenage body-guards who were also (only in theory, Ross reminds us) concubines, was brilliant and made sense given the tribal make-up of Wakanda and T'Challa's status as King. My one criticism, writing-wise, is the consistent reliance on an in media res opening to many of the stories which results in stale flashbacks and "oh, let me explain how we got here" moments. The art is the only inconsistency, with the opening artist leaving soon after the first arc. The final artist in this collection is perhaps my least favorite, but none of the art is bad.
T'Challa is an important character because--not to beat a dead horse--he's the first African Marvel super-hero, who beats the Fantastic 4 in his introduction, who is as powerful as Capt America (who respects him as an equal & a friend), who is loyal, smart, royal, noble to a fault, has no racial inferiority complex, is not afraid of any power structure or government, who'll kill but only if he finds it absolutely necessary, who cares about his people as well as others, and who is just plain AWESOME at his job...or, in other words, the ANTITHESIS of what the media has portrayed dark-skinned men to be over the past 200 years, and what some dark-skinned people have believed about themselves over that same time period. Regardless of their reasoning (expected sales boosts, pre-cursor to the announced BP movie, whatever else) I'm happy Marvel decided to finally release Priest's run on BP, even if the quality did taper off toward the end of it back in the late 90's/early 2000's. This is the collection and the character I will definitely introduce first to my children whenever they decided to poke at or thumb through their father's comic collection.

Equal parts West Wing/Pulp Fiction/Coming to America
By E.M.Pennington
Priest's work here firmly established the Black Panther as a force to be reckoned with in the Marvel Universe. As smart as Iron Man, as tough as Captain America; Panther was moved out of the background for fans who thought of him as another affirmative action Avenger. Instead, he's portrayed as a stranger in a strange land as a tribal head of state searching for justice for his people in our chaotic country. This series gives great depth to the Panther's country of Wakanda, bringing it to logical conclusions without shunning years of continuity. Also, it brings with it a rich cast of supporting characters. Not the least of whom is the readers P.O.V. character: Everett K. Ross, an infinite source of racial awkwardness and misunderstanding.
Equal parts West Wing, Pulp Fiction and Coming to America, the book's writing is socially, racially and politically irreverent fun*. While the narrative's linear jumble can be challenging at times but reads better here for all being in one place. Additionally, the books starts off with a gorgeous run of painted artwork before switching over to an animated style and then settling in on more traditional comic styles. This doesn't help narrative troubles, especially in regards to the political intrigue aspects of plot. But, really, this is my only complaint about this book.
I am eagerly anticipating the next two volumes to this story and hope for a final and fourth installment. When my friends ask why they should be excited about an upcoming Black Panther movie, this is what I'm going to push in their direction. It's a gorgeous collection and one I've been waiting ten years for.
*For fans concerned about the racial undertones of this story, I feel fairly confident in saying that many stereotypes are skewered. The author of these works is African American and fairly vocal about what the work meant to him. You can google him and find numerous discussions he's held on the topic. Or you can read his column at the end of this volume.
