Another savage, brutal issue continuing the battle between Black Panther and Kraven. How these guys never fought each other before, I'll never know. They are perfect adversaries!
It kind of surprises me, but adding Storm, one of the most powerful X-Men, into the fight doesn't immediately skew the battle for BP. Kraven is so damn capable, the fight is still remarkably close! Heck, in the end, it almost ends up as a draw (although a negotiated draw that BP had planned on, proving he's the Batman of the Marvel U!)
David Liss doesn't have quite as many zingers in this as in the last issue, but man, the dialogue still snaps along. It's so much fun watching these characters interact.
Jefte Palo is winning me over. His BP may be more hulking that I'm used to, but he looks like a walking armory and the fight with Kraven just looked brutal! But the high point of the art is Piranha Boy, the future star of 2010. Open the comic and tell me you wouldn't read more about him!
Good
