Going into this work is much like the other Marvel titles which have been released through Titan books it will be familiar to audiences of the MCU as well as readers of the comics but won’t be fully true to either. The novel served not just as an introduction to T’Challa but also to Wakanda, Vibranium, and Klaw. Holland had to answer for readers everywhere.

Her husband, Gomez, is played by Raul Julia, and despite the weirdness of their characters I did somehow feel chemistry between them. Mother, named Morticia, is played by Anjelica Huston, who in makeup is a dead ringer for the original character. |
