Black Panther still has a long way to go before it becomes a book I'd recommend reading, but the simple fact that it is showing improvement is encouraging. I'm not sure how much farther the series can go with such goofy dialogue dragging everything down, but I'll cross my fingers that the coming of Morlun will be a catalyst for even greater improvement.

While the pace of this book is nearing torturous, I remain hopeful that the story will pick up in spite of itself and provide some more prolific action in the next issue. The book reads well, it looks pretty, but it just moves s-l-o-w-l-y. If you're looking for the most incomplete single issue on the racks this week, here you go. If you are a reader frustrated by decompression, stay away. If thirty days is too long for your brain to try and recall miniscule plot advances between installments, hold out for the trade.
