The opening scene to #17 shows Luke Cage on the phone, arranging for some particular sex workers to do their thing at T'Challa's bachelor's party. plus this all happened 10-12 years ago.ġ. I don't think any of these are really spoilers to the plot. I'm now going to scroll through the phone pics I took of certain panels while reading and briefly describe some of the oddest bits. But also there were some really troubling moments.
I need to reread the last couple of issues earlier in the day and sober (It was one of those late nights in bed with marijuana and several drinks while finishing the book.) but the whole bachelor party and wedding issues were kind of incredible and way more fun than I ever would have expected. I'd known they had been married, and dated, and that Storm has spent time as a Goddess being worshiped across the African continent, but now I've read through most of the key story, and I'm glad for it. T'Challa is really not the dignified, classy, respectable man I've otherwise known him as in a lot of these stories.Ī big part of this collection is setting up T'Challa's search for a bride and subsequent proposal and marriage to Ororo aka Storm. Plenty of gross sexist jokes throughout the collection also mar its quality. The handful of issues involving the X-Men early on were really corny rubbish, and made me feel like the writer (possibly Peter Mulligan?) didn't even really know the characters. In my effort to read through more (quality) Black Panther stories in anticipation of the film's release next month (in just 2.5 weeks!), I'm currently working through the vast number of key issues penned by Reginald Hudlin.
