Summary: Amazingly Excellent.....
Comment: The Black Panther never got the respect he deserved back in the day. Always a very underrated title, both when under the 'Jungle Adventures' title, and his own title. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby both did an amazing job with the book, but peolpe didn't buy it. Bummer. When I first began collecting comics in 96' - I was always looking for #1's being the young, naive collector I was. When I got my paw's on Panther #1, I knew I had something special. Black Panther died out then, but he came back. The Reanimation (so to speak) of T'Challa is not only better art and story wise than the original series (nothing against the original), but also selling better. Priest and Tex are a perfect team. The art here is simply amazing. Every frame, every splash could be a portrait. Beautiful. Awesome fast pace, kick a** fight scene's are in abudance, featuring the Panther kicking some major city-goon a**. Awesome impact pannels as well, you can almost feel the pain. Tex did a great job. And then the other awesome factor - The far out writing. Christopher Priest is a truley awesome writer, and man he makes the Panther bad (in a good way, not a villanous way.). He makes both fighting and character development/story development interesting. A awesome read, real enjoyable, a fast paced action ride from beggining to end. I have both the graphic novel and all the comics within it, and they are great additions to my 4000+ comic collection. You gotta get this!

Summary: This is comics at their best...
Comment: Priest's reinvention of Black Panther is the finest comic book currently being published anywhere, and the five issues contained in this trade-paperback make up the best story of the series.
Whether you read comics or not, Black Panther: The Client is an absolute must read. This is comics at their best. If you are not reading this comic, or if you are not reading comics, I dare you to buy this book. You will not regret it.

Summary: A Different Kind of Super-Hero Book
Comment: Black Panther is probably one of the least respected characters ever to emerge from the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby era of comics. He's been around forever, has a great pedigree, and has had some top-notch talents take a crack at him, yet he's never really been embraced by the readers. Looks like his time has finally come....
Writer Christopher Priest (Quantum & Woody) has done the seemingly impossible, and made The Panther interesting! Rather than just concentrating on his crime-fighting, Priest focuses on The Panthers role as King of the African nation of Wakanda, a phenomenally wealthy Country caught up in a brutal civil war. When The Panther leaves his troubled Nation to avenge a child's murder in Brooklyn, he finds himself caught up in a web of political intrigue and Supernatural terror.....(Although, come to think of it, The Panther isn't really TOO terrified; He's a pretty cool customer.)
As Priest explains in his introduction, his goal in reviving The Black Panther was to make The Panther a distant, mysterious character; He succeeds admirably on that front. By keeping the reader from being privy to the inner workings of King T'Challa's mind, he becomes an almost mythic figure of menace and mystery. His final showdown with Mephisto is unforgettable. The art (By Mark Texiera & Vince Evans) is great, and fits the mood perfectly. The only problem with the book is one that seems all too common for Marvel trade paperbacks: A double-page spread is misprinted; Instead of being printed on facing pages, you have to turn the page to see the second half. Doesn't anyone proof these things? Other than that, Black Panther: The Client is a phenomenal read; I highly recommend it.
