I highly recommend giving this limited series a look. It definitely feels like the old school Marvel style when limited series where used as a tool to tell a story that covers a great deal of characters in a self contained book instead of spreading it out into ten or so other titles that would all be affected otherwise. If issue 1 is any indication Doomwar is going to be a lot of fun! Read Full Review

So, if you're a fan of the Black Panther, this is probably monumentally important and exciting, but for everyone else, it's business as usual for a Marvel comic. By all means, try to read some sort of political message into it, because other than finding out that Wakanda is surprisingly easy to attack, that will probably be the most you'll be able to get out of it.

Like I said, I haven't been reading Maberry's Black Panther work, and his writing in DoomWar #1 has me glad I haven't. Whenever a writer can make an idea as promising as a war between Wakandan revolutionaries, Dr. Doom, the X-Men and the Black Panthers boring, it's probably best to avoid his work. Read Full Review

With the art and writing both possessed of good and not-so-good qualities, this is a comic that has to rely on its content alone to compel the reader. Certainly, there's no reason that can't be enough, but in this case things are a little too complicated to fully engage a newcomer. If you've been following "Black Panther" already, it may well feel like an explosive start to a major event in Black Panther's continuity, but casual readers attracted by the title or issue number will probably come away from it disinterested. Despite all that goes on, an appreciation of the Black Panther is necessary for the story to work, and I suspect that like many who will find themselves reading this issue, my own appreciation of the character simply isn't big enough to sustain me into the next chapter of the story.

If you follow the Black Panther series, then I'd guess this is a must read, if not, then I'd recommend skipping it entirely, which is exactly what I'll be doing. Read Full Review
