I'm a big fan of John Romita Jr., and as such, it's no real surprise that I love his work on this series. He's given ample opportunity to show off how perfectly suited he is to a title when the writing calls for high intensity action. How can one not love the panels where the Rhino charges his way through the Wakandan defences? There's also a lovely moment where the Black Knight takes down a fighter jet. The art also manages to do a wonderful job when it comes to the deeply unsettling scene where the Radioactive Man emerges from his chamber, as his expression when he makes his first kill perfectly sells how detached this character has become when it comes to the act of murder. The Black Panther also gets a nice little sequence as the character gets the opportunity to make one of those heroic arrivals, and the follow up scene where he tries to let the child know he's not a god is also quite effective, thanks in large part of the look of utter devotion that is etched on the face of Read Full Review

The cover is weird... The comic is far from a masterpiece as well. Yeah, it's cool, I like to read it. But there are a few buts, that make me like it less. First of all, the villains team here is soooo random and weird... And these Black Knight and Radioactive Man are not the original ones, they are just random dudes, who appeared only in this exact comic series... Okay, why not. But I also find weird this contrast between the suits of Black Knight/Rhino and Black Panther/Klaw/Radioactive Man/Batroc. I mean, when the second half is all realistic and on "Marvel Knights" grown up level, Rhino and Knight seem sooo weird in comparison to them. Yeah, Rhino is Rhino and you can't change him much, but that Black Knight could be different or not be in this book at all. It's not like it lacks villains, because there's also that no-name Cannibal who as well was only in this series.

Also there was a mistake. Rhino is called an american. Um... Alexey Sytsevich an american? Okay, why not. But Klaw isn't! And Batroc isn't. It just feels dumb, like Reginald Hudlin didn't make any research at all (and I already had a feeling he didn't read Klaw's first appearance).

Well, I dunno, it really could be much better. more
