see you there, maybe?
im a big sucker for great one-shots. this technically being the annual didnt make a difference either. but despite the featured blurb, T'Challa really isnt in this one. he shows up by the end, but its in a supporting role. we're definitely looking at a Storm dialog story. some great elements include that its future set, and that from that future - we get a few flashbacks, further back than present day even. those weird frogs show up, the Watcher is seen. Stroman really provides some 'expressionate' art too - not to everyones tastes though im sure. and maybe its thrown away as an alternate future by the end, or it would be a hand a number of yet-to-be-hired writers would have to explicitly play. but it crafts a great world around a familiar and extended cast that reveals a few aspects we might not consider about the present foundations. well worth picking up in back issue if you dont find time/$$ for the ongoing.
