Always a fan of this kind of story. Looking forward to what happens as the plot unravels.

Civil War II: Kingpin #2

By: Matthew Rosenberg, Ricardo Ortiz
Released: Aug 3, 2016

• Despite the heroes' new future-seeing ally, the crime business is treating Wilson Fisk VERY well. So well, in fact, that his jealous competitors are MURDERING the Kingpin's men.
•  And to make matters worse, the linchpin of Fisk's operation - an inhuman with the uncanny ability to stay incognito - is getting ill.

Great, twisted street-level tale that does a great job of existing within the current event without being inaccessible. Anyone who loves villain-centric books or street-level crime will be satisfied.

Civil War II: Kingpin #1

By: Matthew Rosenberg, Dalibor Talajic
Released: Jul 6, 2016

An Inhuman with the ability to predict the future has helped the heroes of the Marvel Universe clamp down on crime before it can even happen. While this thwarts most criminals, one man has found a way to keep doing what he does best. Wilson Fisk has managed to stay one step ahead of the good guys and his crime enterprise is BOOMING. But what's his ...

If the pacing of earlier issues turned people off, this may be as good a start as any to jump into Ta-Nehisi Coates's vision of the Black Panther. This issue is all engaging action -- the kind that moves briskly and ignites the tensions that have been building. Great!

This is the issue where the Coates/Stelfreeze run has finally come together for me. I appreciate the multiple narratives, and the historical/political/spiritual/ancestral forces at work, but until #3 I wasn't sure how they could settle into a cohesive whole. It does start to feel as if T'Challa may be the least interesting character in the series, but that may be mostly due to the fact that the su more

Black Panther #3

By: Ta-Nehisi Coates, Brian Stelfreeze
Released: Jun 29, 2016

• The most anticipated Marvel series since Whedon & Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men!
•  The Midnight Angels continue the liberation of Wakanda with extreme prejudice, and T'Challa's indecisions could cost him more than just the throne.
•  Coates and Stelfreeze weave a quintessential Black Panther tale th...

The plot, which has been brewing cautiously throughout this run, finally begins to erupt. This is an incredible contribution to a brilliant story, and I look forward not only to the conclusion of this arc but to the new places that this team will take the character after. In this issue, you get a real sense for the history that this character has, and even to a relative newcomer to the Marvel univ more
