The second chapter in Black Panther: Soul Of A Machine takes us back to Wakanda, where Black Panther tries to stop Machinesmith’s control spreading to his homeland.
Machinesmith’s attack is spreading and back in Wakanda Black Panther, with the help of the Takumi Masters, is trying to find a way to stop the advance. How does one stop an attack via machine, and Black Panther and the Takumi Masters have to find an ingenious way to at least control the spread of it.
The artwork was the same as the previous issue, but it seemed to work better in this one. This may be because the majority of this issue was set in cyberspace, and the use of lines helps it feel more like the matrix.
With Black Panther and the Takumi Masters having found a way to stop the spread of Machinesmith’s control, the next issue is sure to be interesting.
This book is the second chapter of The Black Panther Comics. The story is set up in Wakanda, where Black Panther fights Machinesmith and stops him from controlling Wakanda. Can't wait to read the next chapter.
It is barely 4 stars for me. After thinking about the first issue, I decided that this was much better. I especially enjoyed the folktale part. That was pretty smart and I actually enjoyed reading that looong dialogue (not usually a fan of those in a comic). It is also about Bast, one of my fav goddesses of all time, so it made it much better. Other than that, it was pretty average. Machinesmith is not a very interesting villain.
In the second instalment of Black Panther: Soul of a Machine we return to the fight between T’Challa and Machinesmith, as Machinesmith tries to take over Wakana’s online security systems.
I think this was a really good continuation of the first issue of this series. As it continues, we watch T’Challa fight Machinesmith as he takes over Wakanda, taking over its people, and their lives. With characters introduced from the series of Black Panther, in the past and present story lines, we are shown a whole new world of Marvel that really brings to light what superheroes are about, and what they represent.
I didn’t quite as enjoy this as much as I did the first issue, but I still really loved this. The art is still really well done to a degree, and Thorne has written a really well done story line that I just adore. I hesitate to write more upon the story and the issue for fear of spoilers, but I really do enjoy it. This is a four part series that I’m going to be sad to finish, I’m sure. Definitely makes me want to look more into the Black Panther series, however.
Short BD about the Black Panther and his young scientists against a virtual enemy that uses something like a "mind web" they had created for good for his evil plans to control the world. Each Episode is focused on some kind of plan that makes him question what is perfection and if it's achievable. I don't get the point of the story. It seem to not move forward after a bunch of episodes, so I don't really recommend. The only good point are the drawings, and even those, I've seen better.
I chose this rating so let based on the second to last page in which the entirety of a civilization is to be saved by the ultimate expression of form and function a Lexus. This is the worst. I really hope they have the writers and artists bonus checks for this.
This "book" should have been compiled to one album with the rest of the stories
This is the second part of longer story. 12 page story is hard to judge on its own merits when you know it is a small glimpse of a bigger arch. Easy, fast read. Nothing annoying. Nothing great.
Very good read and the storyline is interesting. Two worlds colliding for a struggle to over take the other. Only four stars given here cause the advertising commercial at the end.
This is a pretty decent series so far. I like the character of machinesmith. Very goid and unique villain, with that being said I am waiting to be wowed and so far this is just a decent comic.
This whole series is just a big online advertisement for Lexus. The product placement is not obtrusive, but the dialogue is tedious and a chore to read.
Black Panther: Soul Of A Machine #2 (Kindle Edition) by Geoffrey Thorne The power of stories ti'challa uses the legend of bast to save his people. Showing the power of stories. Remarkable imagery.
The short short book series seems to be starting to come into their own with this volume. The action in cyberspace has now shifted back to Wakanda but the story still has not got hold of me. The art here is better but not great but the story seems ready to break out. The next volume should make things more clear.
This was the first story that I read in the series.
