Continuity Notes
This is the first appearance of Wakandan Vibranium, a derivative known as Anti-Metal or Antarctic Vibranium was previously seen in Daredevil #13.
The events surrounding the death of T'Challa's father T'Chaka was expanded upon in Black Panther Vol 3 #3.
The origins of the Black Panther and Ulysses Klaw in this story differ from the one told in Black Panther Vol 4 #3. The original account has also been recounted in Black Panther Vol 3 #5. At this time there is no explanation for the vastly different origin stories. However, one could presume that the alternate version presented in Black Panther Vol 4 #3 was embellished, given that it was told by Ulysses Klaw.
Trivia: At the bottom of page 20, Klaw is shown with a normal right hand, instead of the device which should be there.
The fan page at the end of the issue includes a letter from a young Dennis O'Neil, who the editor notes had become an assistant at Marvel by this time. |
