General Black Panther Spoilers

Importance to the Mythos
- First meeting between Daredevil and Black Panther
- Black Panther discovers Daredevil's secret identity
Other Thoughts
- Without much background on what is going on in DD's book at the time, it is a bizarre little story that while features Black Panther a lot... he really doesn't do anything noteworthy. I guess being able to track DD is cool and all but story wise I am not sure he served much of a purpose. Maybe in future issues the whole secret identity thing is brought back up.
- This is some pretty dope art though.
Should You Read It?
- While BP is in a hefty amount of the book, I really wouldn't recommend it for BP fans as it seemed pointless and aimless and isn't a lot of fun, unless the secret identity thread became important in future issues.
