5.0 out of 5 stars This is comics at their best..., 15 April 2003
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dealing with the Devil..., 25 Aug 2008
By S. Bentley "stuarthoratiobentley" (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Black Panther was created in the 1960s. T'Challa is king of Wakanda, an African country with highly advanced technology due to a meteor landing there that contained an alien metal called vibranium. He travels to America and joins the Avengers for a while. In this story, he returns to America because a child chosen to be the public face of a charity Wakanda supports is murdered. But there is much more going on, and events are being manipulated by the devil Mephisto.

The story is told with a good amount of intelligence and humour from the point of view of US official Everett K. Ross. Ross is a little man with an exuberant attitude, whose pants are stolen by drug dealers. It takes a stream of consciousness approach, with the story jumping backwards and forwards as Ross' superior tries to get a straightforward explanation of events. It also uses the little scene setting cards that the TV show Frasier uses to comment on what happens next.

T'Challa himself is played super-straight, an intense, very capable man with access to incredible resources. He's like Batman but with better toys (including shoes that let him run up buildings and an energy dagger) and less respect for authority. The way that he deals with Mephisto is intriguingly intelligent.

The writing, then, by Christopher Priest is great. He not only plays with the comic book form, but he puts together a strong plot and a sparky script. The art is also pretty great. The majority of the book is drawn and painted by Mark Texeira and is very lush, very muscular, dark stuff. Vince Evans draws the final chapter and isn't quite the same style or in the same league but is still pleasant to look at.

Overall, it's good stuff, mature superheroics that don't resort to extreme violence or cuss words to do its thing. It's funky and it deserves to be read.
