In this re-telling of Luke Cage’s origin, we see Cage in prison musing on how his life compares to the legendary King of Wakanda, the Black Panther. This vignette kicks off a three issue story called “Two the Hard Way.” Black Panther and Luke Cage get into a fight with a million ninja, The Falcon flies by lend a hand, and even Shang Chi Master of Kung Fu gets in some one liners.
Easily the best Team Up of 2006, and awesomely drawn by Scot Eaton.
Collector’s Guide: From Reginald Hudlin’s Black Panther #10.

I knew Reginald Hudlin was writing for Black Panther, but this is my first time actually seeing the comic work! Thanks for posting this!

Thank you for dropping by! We hope you enjoyed this sequence. We loved every minute of Hudlin’s Black Panther, from John Romita Jr.’s first story arc, through Scot Eaton’s artwork, and up to the wedding of Panther and Storm. After that, the book got off track with tie-ins to Marvel “events” like Civil War and Zombies and all that. Definitely worth digging up the first 20 issues or so, and they are only a buck or two a piece. Good reads!
