I am happy to see my one of my favorite Marvel characters in a book again, even if it is a borrowed title. It seems that Black Panther is without a home(in more ways than one), everything that was set up for him in his own series has been ripped from him. I am sorry to say that I think this might be the way to go for the Black Panther. While, I liked parts of the 2005 series with T'challa as Black Panther (mostly how its started and how it ended), to me most of the series was an excuse to have T'challa team up with another black character in the marvel universe that issue. This cheapened the book, between the major events and cross overs it was not able to develop the character/story of the Black Panther/Wakanda. Then Shuri takes over the mantel of the Black Panther in her series in 2009. While, some important things happened in this series it was drawn out over a year only to bridge this gap to Doom war. Large pieces of T'challa's life has fallen away to get us to where he is in Dare Devil's book, but i think this could be a good thing. they are taking the character out of its usual elements and seeing what could happen. I look forward to seeing where it takes the character, but i hope it lasts. I cannot see Black Panther in Dare Devil's book for more than a year, if that. Hopefully it moves the Black Panther into some new places, like a book that is truly his own.
