That was one of the reasons you didnt like hudlin. Dont blame hudlin, blame marvel for giving him the ammo back in 1967.
😬
I'd never seen that before and even though I still think its jobbing Karnak out, I can accept that more than I can accept this.

In the first fight, Panther dodges, flips over him and catches him with a solid blow, he states how fast he is while doing it and I get the impression that Karnak is not out cold.
In the Hudlin version, we see Karnak scanning Panthers weak spots, he then blunders forward and Panther cracks a Bruce lee joke while ramming his Knee into his face.
Crystal then in the next page is stunned because he is out cold and checks to see if he is still breathing!? 🤨
Panther and Storm having shown how superior they are then go to walk off, Gorgon confronts them and Panther says Storm can take him but not to go too hard on him (can't remember the exact wording).
Its not just the flooring of Karnak, who is supposed to be a master martial artist and an inhuman to boot, as you have shown its happened before, PIS after all is not something that Hudlin is alone in using.
Its the whole attitude behind it, it seems so forced, Panther goes on a diplomatic mission and still manages to rub someone up the wrong way and end up slapping them down?
Its a little like every page is an excuse to show the reader how great Panther and Storm are. every comic has self promotion, Hero's making claims and doing things they have no business saying or doing.
I just feel like Hudlin does this on every page instead of once in a while, one good thing is though, at least its got everyone talking about a character who has long sat on the sidelines.
Love him or hate him, hes now in the game.
