Black panther fights his evil brother White Wolf

[detective_deathman08]

By david Liss
A grizzly series of murders have occurred and all the women who have been killed were previously rescued by the Black Panther. Someone has a personal grudge at it is closer to home.


Hunter is tchallas adopted brother who I think was introduced in Christopher priests run. I am glad he is being brought back he is awesome. Anyway he targets women to lure out his brother.






That is a pretty awesome back story, and I dig the cain and abel vibe. I wonder if Shuri has ever met him, the age difference seems pretty big and he was exiled a long time ago.



This is a good page of him out of costume, and I know what your thinking... BLACK Panther's brother WHITE wolf has a fine set of facial hair. The girl on the ground, sofia(a young former serbian rebel/waitress) is a lot like BPs sidekick in this series and she has been awesome in this issue.(I might need to do a whole post about her). I wish I could post more of Hunter and tchalla fighting but page count. Here is the emotional brother moment.



Its ok tchalla we all have a brother who kills innocent people to get back at us.



Jefte Paolo's art is awesome.

.... somehow i feel the whole evil "White" foster brother is too... on the nose....? i don't know... it kinda makes me feel a bit uncomfortable...

i don;t know maybe its because i don't read this series ona regular basis...

After looking at the scans, the first thing that popped into my head was Black Vulcan on Harvey Birdman.

Black Vulcan: And you think I named myself Black Vulcan? Hell no! I used to go by Supervolt. Black Vulcan was Aquaman's idea. And I said, "Well maybe we should just call you White Fish!".

I am not so keen on this idea. The whole Cain and Abel thing seems nice before, be here it seems so... Lion King. I was kinda hoping to see more of White Wolf , but not like this. He's a white kid, who was adopted and raised by a king an African super country. That's kinda interesting. Hunter's an outsider on SO many levels, so I wanted to see more how that would work out. I would try to describe his relationship with Wakanda and the Royal Family more, but I doubt I could word it just right without hitting some touchy issues, But... HE IS A WOLF RAISED BY PANTHERS!!! I kinda want to see Storm trying to bridge the gap between Tchalla and his brother.

But here... he seems like a poser "evil-counterpart" villain, like pre-Crisis Catman to Batman for Black Panther, when I see him like Shadow to Sonic, or Vegeta to GOku, or Mr Majestic to Superman. And is he really such a scuzbag compared to the lies that Osborn or Gen Lane gave out? This seems, pardon the pun as it wasn't intended, but black and white.

Plus, I feel like this needs to be noted, I haven't read any of the issues with White Wolf, I'm just going from what I read about him on all those wiki/fan-edit sites. So sorry if I SAID that was stupid... better to look like an idiot than a snobby dumbass

Dude it so reminds me of Nubia's origin X-D I see echoes in there

[silverzeo]

Why don't they give him scar to make more cliche?

[thanekos]

Makes sense it'd be him, Point Ones being as summative as they are.

More people were probably expecting Killmonger, though.

[silverzeo]

Comics like to have twists, almost more than stories that revolving around retcons.

And is he really such a scuzbag compared to the lies that Osborn or Gen Lane gave out? This seems, pardon the pun as it wasn't intended, but black and white.

The only difference is scale.

[silverzeo]

I know, from what I gathered about him, he like Punisher is he worked for the Government.... AFTER his family's murder.

[shadowpsykie]

Nubia.... Wonder Woman Nubia?

[shadowpsykie]

i know... i mean they could make this an actual complicated relationship... but instead they went for the obvious cliche...

[kirayoshi]

"White Wolf"? Seriously?

'80s Colossus called. He wants his catch-phrase back.

[arbre_rieur]

I always liked how Christopher Priest, Hunter's creator described him: All T'Challa has to do to stop him from pulling his latest scheme is to go up to him and say, "Hunter, stop." Above all else, the man is absolutely loyal to the Wakandan throne.

[grazzt]

He was bitten by a radioactive goth roleplayer.

...They have wolves in Wakanda?

[01d55]

Probably not natively. The common Grey Wolf used to inhabit the northern cost of Africa, and there's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Wolf, so it's plausible that they've known of wolves for a very long time. So they name a foreign dude after a foreign animal.

[silverzeo]

I know. And he is a bit resentful to Chal too boot, right! I bet if Panther and Storm have kids, he would play horsie with them at their every whim...

[fifthie]

Yeah on reflection with him being adopted the name does work.

[silverzeo]

I think it is a symbolism thing, being the oposite to a black giant cat. But COmicLords knows, there maybe an ancient evil tribe that worship a wolf god that once tried to overthrow Wakanda or blah blah blah something that cliche.

[drmcninja]

See, I'm not really feeling that. It doesn't seem like a race thing to me at all (from these pages), and its almost barely mentioned. It seems more to me like a Loki thing, where he feels like he's an putcast because of it. Even if he isn't.

[brilliantnova]

Yep

[drmcninja]

I like T'Challa's outfit here. I like how the black is so overhwelming, it really plays to the actual character, makes him seem more otherwordly like they've always tried to make the mantle. Then there's the combat gear, almost none of which is necessary.

[brilliantnova]

Yeah in the sense of suddenly inserting a rival / sibling who is like you but the opposite

[shadowpsykie]

maybe that is how its meant to be... but ia m not seeing it... it could be because i am only semi lucid due to fighting a cold... but even in this pages it looks far too cliched to me... i mean he might as well be wearing a top had and cape and twirling a cane while he twirls his mustache....

[silverzeo]

The vest makes me think of Astounding Wolf-Man though, irony?
