I've liked this whole series, but dang, this last issue is *messy*. The structure and the prose are okay, but I'm really not sure about the plot. As to the art -- *ambivalent horizontal hand-wave*. The two artists don't fit well together, and one is a lot stronger than the other.
The plot hews surprisingly close to the Black Panther's 1966 debut. So close, in fact, that I'm not sure the story makes sense if you haven't read those Silver Age issues. This comic forgets to explain that all the red animals are energy constructs created by Klaw, for example.
And in all the mess, Hunter's story doesn't get a good sense of closure. The creators try, but they don't get the job done.
This was a bit rushed, but fine. This was an all ages book for children and... yeah, it reads like that.
