That's Marvel Comics editor Mike Marts talking about "Black Panther #50." It's the comic book with more lives than pretty much every cat that's ever been and this October the book will take a dramatic turn both story wise and artistically.
Plus, 'Panther's' core readership has always been extremely supportive of the book and of Priest, and I feel they are largely responsible for carrying along the momentum the book has experienced since the early Marvel Knights days.
And while Black Panther's role in the rest of the Marvel Universe hasn't been a major one, that's all set to change shortly, with Panther's profile raising quite dramatically.

I'm all for trying to do interesting updates of characters, especially when those characters have seen better days, as in the case of the Black Panther.
T'Challa's Panther worked far better in the ’60s and ’70s than he does now, and it makes less sense nowadays to have the king of an African nation running around in a suit fighting crime in New York.
In trying to create a modern version of the Panther, however, Christopher Priest has given us a character who's little more than a conglomeration of all the worst stereotypes about angry fl men, even when said angry fl men are cops.

 Bookshelf Comics Review - The Black Panther by Jack Kirby, Vol. 1
Our hero, the Black Panther, is in the middle of two collectors who are trying to kill each other to get their hands on this priceless artifact, both with questionable intentions.
The Black Panther is not considered Kirby’s best work at Marvel, but at the same time, for Kirby purists, it is wholly Kirby because he wrote, drew, and edited it.
And at $19.99 for a reprint of seven issues of a Bronze Age comic that is easily picked up cheaply in back issue bins, it is a bit expensive.

 Comics Should Be Good: Black Panther #15 Review
The task given to Reginald Hudlin with these issues of Black Panther is a very difficult one – he has to convince people that a marriage between Storm and T’Challa makes sense, and at the same time, make sure not to denigrate either character in service of the plot.
I think he got off to a good start last issue with the first part of “Bride of the Panther,” and I think he did an even better job with this one (although I suspect my pal Loren would disagree).
So I would recommend this comic, with the reservation that, if you don’t care about this Storm/Black Panther thing at all, it probably would fall a bit flat to you.
