Call me a "hater" or whatever you want, I'M FRICKIN' PSYCHED ABOUT HUDLIN LEAVING (but also realize he'll be hanging around for some co-plotting)

I have sworn off BP since issue #4 of the Hudlin relaunch, disgusted with the initial stray from Panther continuity and history (yeah, you can call me a fanboy too when it comes to BP.)

I've kept to my word until this most recent relaunch, mesmerized by the art team on the series (and quite honestly, finding the story to be surprisingly palatable).

Having Hudlin leave after this first storyline is just icing on the cake.

I'm happy to be back amongst the ranks of Black Panther fans supporting the book!

Now let's hope Hudlin doesn't run the character's name into the ground with the animated series. Judging by most of BET's programming (in which Hudlin has a DIRECT hand in), my expectations are pretty low for this series unfortunately.
