Black Panther #514

I'm really liking this whole Black Panther: The Man Without Fear thing, and that's coming from someone who reads very few Black Panther comics. BP's premise has a lot of potential, though, and every once in a while someone will come out of nowhere with a left-field take on the character that really intrigues me - the last time was Jason Aaron's Secret Invasion tie-in that was basically Wakanda vs. the Skrulls a la 300. Most of what interests me about the Panther as a character, actually, stems from his status as the leader of a country - which makes the current series all the more impressive since it's basically your typical 616 urban-vigilante story with the hero character's personality being somewhat different than, say, Daredevil's. Maybe that's it - at long last, I might just be sick of Matt Murdock. The emerging supporting cast here isn't exactly the most unique ever, but they're at least as interesting as Foggy & Co.
