Black Panther: Soul Of A Machine #1 Reviews


  • Lör K.

    And we seek knowledge because we crave answers. Those answers are usually sought, if we are honest with ourselves, in search of perfection. We understand that is an unachievable goal. But we strive to achieve it because it is in the process that we explore and expand our reality.


    This is my first ever introduction to Black Panther, other than his role in Civil War. This was, utterly amazing. I really enjoyed it. Fabian Nicieza has made a wonderful science fiction comic that brings the infiltration of the human mind and technology all in one. It pieces together numerous little things that make a wonderful comic issue.

    The art work isn’t as smooth as I would personally like it, but Andrea DiVito and Ariel Olivetti have done wonders with it. It’s not perfect, but for a free comic book that was likely rushed out, I’m not surprised the art work wasn’t five star, top of the range art.

    This is a really well done comic, starting the course of a four issue small comic series, that spans over a few months and follows T’Challa’s battle with Machinesmith through Wakanda’s internal online security system. Issue one merely sets up what is happening for the series, but it does it so beautifully, I have to read on almost immediately. This was definitely worth getting introduced to Black Panther, and it gives me great hope for the film franchise – if T’Challa is half the character he is these comics in the film, it’s going to be absolutely amazing.

    3.23 stars, it was a really fast read ngl and everything happened pretty fast for a plot, but I'm still interested in the series.

  • Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)

    This felt like a pretty generic comic book plot, at least once it got into the actual plot, after the lecturing and long introductions part of the story... Probably well worth reading if you really like comic book stories in general, but nothing there piqued my interest enough to continue the series.

    The black panther one of my favorite superheroes
    Loved the art

  • Christine

    Love the diversity in terms of scientists here. Yeah, I know Black Panther, but there are many women in the other delagations too. Love it.

    3/5 Stars (%55/100)

    I liked it in general. I am not particularly knowledgeable about Black Panther comics, I've only seen the films. I had 5 of 8 books of this mini-series and I got the others for free as well. Though it is not very long, I still enjoyed it. However, I cannot do anything but laugh at that cover. I was like "what's with the car" but after reading 3 issues, I kind of get the idea. Since it is short, it is quite easy to read.

    Read this review and more on my
    blog, uncovered-books.

    This first issue of Soul Of A Machine, King T’Challa goes to a technology conference to help share Wakanda’s technology with the world.

    This first issue was more to set the scene for what is to come in my opinion. We find out that mind-control through the use of new technology is possible thanks to the Takumi Masters, although this was never their intention for it.

    Whilst the storyline was not that interesting, the artwork more than made up for it. It felt very crisp and precise, which goes with the computer storyline as computers are precise machines.

    Whilst not the most interesting, the end of this first issue does leave it in a place where things should get interesting.

    I got no feel for this story

    Maybe I've been out of touch with comics but when did T'Challa - King of Wakanda and superhero - find the time to become a physicist and engineer? Unless he'd been established as such in his earliest appearances, I find it unlikely.

    Then there were those so-called "Masters". The professor has a huge ego, shown by his early behavior and the look on his face at the end. I don't blame the one "Master" for what happened, but why was the villain laying in wait for this opportunity and why did T'Challa jump to the conclusion that this particular villain - or any villain - would make an appearance? Why were the "good guys" able to escape by disrupting the program but it didn't automatically free everyone?

    There's too much here that made no sense, disappointing work from Nicieza, whose work I've enjoyed at least as far back when he helped create X-Force.

    Since it's a free book I started to read this. I enjoyed the story between these 12 pages. Since I like this comic art style it was easy to read. Eventhough it's so small the story itself is good. And also the plot twist is also appreciatestable. I can recommend this to anyone since its a free book.

    Meh

    What's with rearranging one shot stories by marvel?they feel like they lack substance though I am happy to see people of color represented in such a. Diverse and meaningful way via academia science

  • Anthony Bachman

    Panther vs Machinesmith for the digital soul of Wakanda

    New technology always has pros and cons but once Machinesmith gets involved things get deadly. Will this be the downfall of Wakanda?

  • Elke

    Adding this one for the entire collection #1-#8
    This was very enjoyable and I was glad I could consume more Black Panther. Loved the diverse team, the science and ideas of perfection and progress and the illustrations.

  • Jaakko Vasankari

    Intro for a longer story

    Like a short chapter of a book. Not sure where the story leads. It does however give you a good reason to continue to the next one in series. I wonder why the whole series wasn't published as a one album.

  • Elizabeth Gilliland

    It is good

    Muy bien por la diversidad, pero no me convencido nada el argumento. No creo que siga este arco.

  • Cameron Gill

    This is a good comic but i feel like it did not live up to the potential it could have as it doesn’t explain a whole lot that needs to be explained.
