Holy Cow! Most stories have been 6 or 7 parts in length. Yeah, that Man-Thing story was 12 parts long. But if you were composing a plot point graph, this story would surely be your outlier!
In the aptly titled 'Panther's Quest', T'Challa violates about a dozen UN treaties as he illegally enters South Africa. Only the King of Wakanda isn't in the nation to end apartheid. He's in town to investigate claims that his mother might still be alive and held captive in one of the countries' capital cities of Cape Town. If T'Challa can stay under the radar, this should be an easy mission. However, there's 24 more parts to this story. So of course, nothing is going to go easy on the Avenger.
Along side the Black Panther story, there's a fun one-shot starring Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. This adventure takes place during a time when the Richards have decided to go on sabbatical from the Fantastic Four. Living under aliases, the two heroes hope to raise their children in suburbia away from the likes of the Big Apple and the threats of Doctor Doom and The Mad Thinker.
Feeling a little bored, Reed decides to work on the gutters of his new house. Things are going great. That is until the ladder falls, stranding him! With neighbors all around, Reed can't risk using his powers; lest the Richards peaceful time in the outskirts will be over quick.
You won't believe how Mr. Fantastic gets out of this pickle. And he sure as heck won't be living it down any time soon!
A great pair of stories. The latest chapter of Colossus' 'God's Country' was good. But the mom in the story seems to be having some sort of breakdown or something due to her past and it's just not being properly explored. The Shanna The She Devil one-and-done was forgettable. I keep getting her confused with Sheena... and Nyoka the Jungle Girl and countless other deepest darkest African queens of the jungle.
3 out of 4 ain't bad.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
