Any thoughts about this new series? And can it possible compare to the great works that Christopher J. Priest did during his awesome run with The Black Panther?

if you havent seen the marvel preview for it go get it, NOW!!! they show two pages from the comic, it looks amazing and john romita jr's art fits perfectly imo, i cant wait for this comic

might make a black panther sig

Yeah. I already saw the preview. It looks damn good. I just hope Hudlin can capture the same essence that Priest did when he was writing BP.

yeah, thats what worries me the most, i mean he wrote movies like "house party".....that doesnt make it interesting, it just scares me

but romita jr's penciling is what interests me the most, do you have a bigger version of the pic you posted?

No. I don't. That's all I got. But yeah. I understand what you mean. I just hope he follows with Priest's ideas. The good news is they're good friends so they might exchange ideas and stories. They talked on Priests homepage in the message boards.

well thats re-assuring, i cant wait for this comic

Yeah, I was glad to find out that Hudlin and Priest were friends as well, I was worried that Hudlin would foresake all of Priest's great stories and dangling plots, then I saw a quote by him, something like "Why would I not use Priest's work? I love his work"

It's a little disconcerting that they're going to do an Origin arc, but hopefully they have it running parallel to a "current time" story where they echo one another. And actually, for new readers it's a good idea because they get a fresh look at the character.



Allan Jacobsen used to, and still does, write and direct for the show King of the Hill, and he's prooved himself as a good comics writer in Invaders (pick it up! lol). Joss Whedon wrote for and created Buffy. I hate Buffy! I love his X-Men though. Sara "Samm" Barnes has written for some weird TV series' but her work has been enjoyable (Dr. Spectrum and others). I'm concerned because he wrote stuff like House Party, but when you look at the success rate for TV/Movie writer crossovers into comics, it's pretty promising--unless I'm missing a few, really big disasters.
