True Believers: The Criminally Insane - Klaw #1 (re:view)

Welcome to a whole new adventure with... a comic for your dollar! Black Panther heightened senses something this way comes as he tracks it down to the US of A. Let's dive in!

It's pretty interesting to see Black Panther venture to the US for the first time and skips over public relations in the pursuit of just exploring the commercial side. It's showing more of the business person than the politician. I guess it's important to keep your guard up especially with the number of resources that Wakanda has. If it was me, I'll be like "politics? What's that, hun?"

I like a good swish and flick with the likes of Daredevil and Spidey but the Black Panther has their unique styling with his crouched approach and clawed, striking movements. I never really liked his costume compared to the rest of the Avengers due to the blandness but seeing it now I have a real appreciation for it as it just makes sense. It's dark sheen Black Panther's costume camouflages them in the dark. There's a backstory too which quickly provides depth to the story including the villain who is quickly disposed of mysteriously though (never trust the cover!). And there's ummm... Windeagle... I don't know what else to add there. 

I was half expecting an epic team-up with the cover but quite frankly Black Panther wanted to go it alone and I don't blame him after receiving quite shady words from the Captain Shady. Black Panther has to take down the Thunderbolts gang who have inherited the Klaw's umm... claw which is cleverly worked a device that sonically creates a physical being of the imagination which I can imagine can be very, very fun to play with. 

The ending itself is a goosebumps moment as Cap knowing it's not gonna end well steps in and says they will fight as Avengers... my god!
