    Cable has decided to take a little time out and enjoy nature in Wakanda and as he makes his acquaintance with Black Panther, he gets in the middle of a tragic family conflict and a possible coup d'etat. Casey has nailed right in the spot in this self contained story, delivering good dialogues, a nice portrait of Black Panther, a curious view of how Wakanda's political system works and, above all, narrowing Cable's struggle to determine what's his new purpose after his failure to destroy Apocalypse. Jose Ladrönn is the one that really shone in this issue, pencilling amazing lush vegetation, making a beautiful transition to rain forest into an urban site, it was a perfect symbiose with Casey's words, that worked those ideas of how Wakandan's citizens were an amalgam of rude/brave/survival (forest) and intelligence/kindness/evolution (city). I love self contained stories and this was a brilliant example that this model stills works. I believe this was Casey's first independent issue and he was quite good narrating Cable, Black Panthe and all this idea/concept of new versus old, of changes in motion. This is a great example of Cable's powers, of T'Challa's honor and a good chance to see Klaw.
