They call me Mister T'oby

It all started out so well.

I have added my official review of the six issue Black Panther and Doctor Doom centric, Doomwar mini-series by Jonathan Maberry. See the parahrased quote of my Comic Book Resources post below.

Doom punked yo momma.

Remember in Roots when Kunta Kinte ran away from Massah one too many times? Well they caught him, and hobbled him by chopping off his toes. After that he could walk, but he couldn't run. 

That's pretty much what the Doomwar mini-series felt like to me. 

Like someone high up in Marvel Comics Editorial wanted to make sure that the Black Panther was hobbled, because they believed that a sexually threatening, mentally competent, uberconfident, and super proficient black male superhero was alienating the white fanbase.

He's less uppity now. Thank you for Shadow Physics though, that shit is nice.

Doug Zawisza from CBR  put up a like minded review here, and Hannibal Tatu from CBR tears it up here. IGN's Jesse Schedeen didn't hate it. Babs over at Comicvine was off the Maberry love train by issue #4, as you can see by her Brutally Honest review of the series' progress leading up to issue four, here. (okay lets be brutally honest here, i could give a fuck about what "babs" thinks about comics, she's a pretty face they use for video reviews, but she's shit when it comes to basic comics knowledge)
