I never expected this to be good. Not until I read the Gordon back-up in Detective Comics #871, at least. Francesco Francavilla’s artwork is absolutely gorgeous, and even if the story wasn’t any good, that would be reason enough to pick up this reinvention of both Daredevil and Black Panther. The story itself, by David Liss, is focused on Black Panther’s integration into American society; he’s not using that name anymore, but it’s obvious that he’ll be using it again before the story’s end. The antagonist, Vlad, is creepy enough and keeps the story engaging, while Panther’s new status quo is interesting to watch unfold and comes to a nice sense of completion by the end of the issue.
