Eaton is used to the Black Panther and his black characters actually look like they are black, instead of Caucasian with brown painted on them. The characters also each have their own looks. This is good. Unfortunately, the darker colour palette used by Beaulieu is too dark to enhance the work of Eaton and the entire book ends ups being a smudge of lines and colours that is not really appealing, although the artist is fine. The cover by Romita was poor by all standards and looks like it was put together at the last minute just so they could say Romita participated and try to sell more copies. Well poor covers, even by Romita dont tend to do that. Read Full Review
