The book was just hitting its stride. It seemed to be picking up steam since coming back from that ridiculous "frog" storyline. Its apparent that sales will pick up when the show hits the air? So, why would Marvel do this? Seems like someone at Marvel is trying to kill off the book. Much the same way they got rid of Blade. The Blade movies were some of the more successful comic book movies. But did they turn that into a successful revitalization of the comic book? First they use the book as testing ground for new writers and artists, then they allow a ridiculous story line, now they put a female in the lead role which fanboys have hardly ever been enthusiastic about. It won't take long for T'Challa to come back, but hopefully before they pull the plug. You know why this bothers me? The book was just hitting its stride.
