I know what Reginald Hudlin is trying to do with Black Panther.
He saw what Grant Morrison did with Batman in JLA, turning him into a one-man force of annihilation, capable of defeating anyone, merely with his awesome brain.
And Hudlin has decided, anything Grant can do, he can do better.
So you know what's coming. All those times, that comics writers would say "Batman could beat Galactus, if you gave him enough time.", Hudlin's going to make it a reality.
Any time now, Galactus (in a clear show of ignorance of Annihilation continuity, which places Big G in deep shit out in space) will show up on Earth, and T'Challa is going to single-handedly send him packing.
He's not only going to devise a means to defeat The Devourer, he's going to implement it all by his lonesome.
Because Black Panther is the baddest man in Marvel Comics.
On a sadder note, Storm wil probably be left doing nothing for the entire story, other than foolishly insisting that she could somehow help defeat this cosmic menace.
Silly wind-rider.

In keeping with other recent Storm character moments from Hudlin, perhaps she'll have a nice hot dinner waiting for T'Challa when he gets home from kicking Galactus' ass.
LONG LIVE QUEEN GODDESS STORM!
Storm's elemental powers could also come in handy while cleaning the Imperial Palace ...
:)
Although I wouldn't mind it if T'challa single-handedly ended Civil War and knocked a bit of sense into Peter to boot.
And as a note to Hudlin, Christopher Priest already made the Panther a badass.
I think Hudlin needs to go back to what he does well--running BET and not comics he knows little about.
"Annihilation? What's that? What do you mean it's getting better reviews than Civil Bore and is shipping on time? Pah, there's no such thing. And besides, Civil Bore has variant covers, and you know you want some of that."
I loved the bit in the Annihilation encyclopedia book where it says that Earth's heroes will be unable to halt the Wave because of a "dispute", further exposing the idiocy of Civil Bore. Not that anyone will notice.
Stupid Marvel.
My favourite bit of mangled Annihilation/Civil Bore continuity:
Reed Richards knows about the annihilaton Wave. He knows exactly how big and deadly it is. And what's he doing about it? Building a prison to put his friends in.
Second favourite bit:
Various heroes are escaping the Reegistration Act by going to Canada.
Canada has had its own Superhero Registration Act since at least the mid-90's.
Ooops.
mark: I wonder if she would. I'm not sure if Hudlin believes queens are suppsoed to do anything other than be eye candy.
carla: Hail Queen Storm!
fortress: *snicker* I think T'Challa, Storm and Dr. Strange need to stage an intervention, and tell all these heroes they're acting like idiots.
len: Agreed.
kelvin: Variant covers? Where? I must colect them all, just like the Pokemon!
I read that entry in Annihilation: Prologue, and I remember thinking "Well, yeah a lot of mutants got depowered, but they've still got some powerful heroes."
Then Iron Man started punching Captain America, and I realized the fate of the universe was in Nova and Quasar's hands. Way to go, New Avengers!
And kelvin we can't question Ree'ds priorities. He's a futurist, so obviously he knows that locking up Speedball and Typeface is more important than some huge armada lead by Annihilus AND Thanos, AND two beings that just bitch-slapped Galactus and the Silver Surfer.
Maybe if Sue put a force bubble inside his brain, it would get him thinking straight again.
the fact that Reed and Tony calling themselves "futurists" made me laugh when I realised that Zemo, aka the guy that can see the future, doesn't consider the sra important.
and that Cable, aka the guy from the future, consider it to be bad and he seems to think about the far future instead of the near future like the so called futurists.
anonymous: Hmm, well Tony mentioned being a futurist in terms of figuring out what products people will want, and that's why he's a successful businessman, so i guess that means he's only a short-term futurist.
Or he's only a futurist in terms of personal gain.
