A good tale.Good results.A little light on story.try it

Pretty good, actually.

T'Challa was ambushed and it's uncertain if he will live.The nation must have a Black Panther and Storm has decreed Zuri, T'Challa's sister, prepare herself to be judged by the Panther God. If the Panther God decrees she's worthy, she'll become the Black Panther. If he does not, he will devour her. As the news of T'Challa being significantly wounded, a new force has set out to raze Wakanda.The Deadliest of the Species was an enjoyable Black Panther tale. Wakanda actually appears to be the techno...

This is a promising basic idea that falters in the execution, in several ways. While it uplifts Shuri (without exactly developing or rounding her out much) it treats Ororo like a plot device. And the plot she's used in isn't much; T'Challa's storyline wasn't particularly interesting and by spending so much time on the whole Namor/Doom thing, which added very little, the ostensible main plot is left underdeveloped.

Despite having her name in the title, Shuri's role seemed rather small and while she gets there in the end, her journey in taking on the Black Panther mantle was rather disappointing and felt off to me. Maybe this is just because I have enjoyed the newer series focusing solely on Shuri? In any case, while elements of the plot were interesting enough I was very distracted by the way Shuri and other female characters were drawn and portrayed. (view spoiler)[ Particularly, it seems contradictory to...

For a book supposedly about Shuri taking up the mantle of the Black Panther... there wasn't much of Shuri doing anything until, like, the last quarter or so of the book. Everything up until then revolves around T'challa and what happened and what everyone is doing about trying to save him.

did not love this...although this is a recent reprint it's an older comic, and this characterization of Shuri didn't click for me (as a latecomer to Black Panther, drawn in by the movie...which tbf I think will be the case for a lot of readers). Also I know it's comics but she is UNCOMFORTABLY stacked and it looks WILD in the Black Panther costume.

Black Panther: The Deadliest of the Species collects issues 1-6 by Reginald Hudlin with art by Ken Lashley. T'Challa arrives back to Wakanda in a wrecked jet, clinging to life, and a dying Dora Milaje. The royal family and Storm decide someone needs to take up the mantle of Black Panther to lead the nation during this uncertain time. Shuri, T'Challa's sister and reigning princess has been training her whole life for this moment. Will she be able prove herself to the Panther God and rule Wakanda?...

Actually an excellent "World of Wakanda" kind of story, but might be seriously disappointing for fans of Shuri from the movie. This is from Reginald Hudlin's run on the title (2005-2008), so Shuri is nothing like her movie incarnation, and there's not any of what's happening now in Marvel continuity or in the MCU. That said, this is pretty awesome; an ambush by Doctor Doom leaves T'Challa at death's door, and his wife, the Queen Ororo of Wakanda, Storm of the X-Men, assumes crisis leadership, bu...

VERY slow start. It wasn't boring necessarily, but it wasn't very interesting either. However, if you can tough it out, it's worth getting to the end. Very clever writing, and enough action and drama to keep me hooked. Another complaint I had is that there were too many strings left untied by the end.All in all worth the read, but the beginning might be tough to get through.

I wish comic book people understood two things: 1) boobs are not bowling balls 2) wedgies are uncomfortable so your female mc will not run around with one the size of a grand canyon thanksalso shuri did almost nothing, unfortunately

I finally got to the fabled Reginald Hudlin run on Black Panther.So much has been written about this extended run on the title, and one of Marvel's attempts to get the character some much needed spotlight.The first six issues are fine, and feel like a nice entry point for new readers.And while I can always appreciate a new beginning and a gentle launch, I just finished reading Jason Aaron's work on this same character. It was nothing short of incredible, and I recognize that his characterization...

The narrative really jumps around and I'm not fond of the art and those goddamn boob socks! Are professional comic books artists that incompetent and unaware how boobs work? God it was just too damn distracting! My other gripe is that the book was an ensamble instead of focusing on Shuri, which I guess makes a bit of since and I did like the Wakandan people, it's just that I was here for Shuri. Not the best start if you're a new Black Panther reader tho since I was lost most of the time. Hudlin

This was nothing like what I was expecting, I am not familiar with the Black Panther character except what I have seen in the movies. So for me this took a different spin with Storm as Black Panther's wife, and Shuri not being a big science NERD. The story was fun and easy to follow and the graphics were great. Top Marks.

My favorite so far, this was good.I enjoyed the art finally the dark skinned Storm we all know and love and my girl the LOML Shuri,she is everything.The story was interesting as well seeing the Wakandan's facing some of the biggest threats yet and just Shuri becoming the black panther that was everything to me.

T'Challa is gravely injured and Wakanda needs a new Black Panther. Shuri is selected, but Bast has other thoughts.Comics tell great stories, but sometimes the print visual medium is tricky for readers. There were a few panels where T'Challa was talking to the Submariner and I was not sure who was speaking, as they both had similar features. Overall, the story was fine. It was nice to see Storm, T'Challa's new wife, do what she could to help, and Shuri's character development was solid. Still wou...

I wasn’t that impressed until the final issue

This is a smashing fun Black Panther story that helped fill in a few of the gaps in my knowledge of what came before Coates' run. The action moves at a quick pace and the characters' actions speak to self-sacrifice for the greater good over the preservation of self. A good moral for today's world, and the characters all get moments to shine. Storm is a delight here, and now I want to go back and read more of her time in Wakanda. I first encountered Shuri in the Black Panther movie a few weeks ag...

I do not follow Black Panther and so came into this volume essential cold (apart from general knowledge about the Marvel 616 universe, especially X-Men). I have long been unimpressed about Storm’s move out of the X-Men and this volume did nothing to convince me of the love between her and the Black Panther, or her place within this setting. I found the ending disappointingly predictable as I am sure those who enjoy the world might have enjoyed the mystical/magical aspects of what could be simply...

Judging by the cover, we didn't get as much Shuri Black Panther as I expected. Instead this has a split narrative, partly focusing on T'Challa. He's on death door and his family are trying to figure out how to save him. Whilst Wakanda is under attack is under attack by Morlun, he wants to devour the Panther totem. For the bits that Shuri is in, she's awesome. I love the fact she had to earn the herb and actually hunt for it, instead of it being readily available in. The Panther god was pretty co...
