BlackGeekdom Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective

Last week I was really looking forward to Black Panther # 4 and I was a little disappointed.    The story seems to be dragging or at least be so predictable that I know whats going to happpen before it happens.    Overall I have like Hudlins run on the series (at times it was a little uneven) but I prefer his version of BP over Christopher Priests run from a few years back.   I just wish he would pick up the pace a little bit.

My reccomendation for week is  Azrael: Death’s Dark Knight #3.  Its nice to see some new blood in Gotham the Azrael an African American ex-cop named Michael Washington Lane. He is approached by the Order of Purity to reclaim the mantle of Azrael after the Order of Dumas’ new Azrael went mad and killed an undercover police officer. On his first night as Azrael he fought Talia Al Ghul, new team of mercenaries led by Merlyn and Dick Grayson. After convincing Nightwing that he was not responsible for the murdered police officer, Dick persuades Talia to allow Michael to keep the Suit of Sorrows. Michael Lane is currently active in Gotham City working on an “eye for an eye” style of justice.    The last page of the book reveals that this will be an ongoing series starting in the fall.   Hopefully they will keep Fabian Nicieza as the writer and  Frazier Irving doing the art.
