Black Panther vs Wolverine

I will have to go on record and say that the Black Panther was not jobbed out in his guest appearance in Wolverine #8. The fight between the two feral combatants showcased the writer's insight on both their martial skills sets. Wolverine's berserker rage contrasted with the Black Panther's consummate tactical prowess; resulting in the nod for Tchalla. Always moves ahead the Black Panther was prepared well in advance for the true enemy of the tale, the viral entity from the Microverse. The Black Panther was not humiliated when he and ex-wife Storm crossed paths; in fact there was a mild reconciliation between the two. This comic demonstrated that at least one X-writer Paul Cornell, can write a story with both the Black Panther and the XMen present without one or the other being disrespected.

Overall a good read. Can we be witnessing the genesis of positive relations between the Wakandans and the mutants? Time will tell.
