Black Panther #13 pg 5 by Wilfredo Torres

Continuing my string of Black Panther (BP) posts today with 2 adds, this from Mr. Wilfredo Torres. I picked this page up directly from Wilfredo at Heroes Con a while back, along with the variant cover he did for the same issue – check that one out here if so inclined: https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1414087

I’ve been reading the Coates run from the start and remember thinking, on Wilfredo’s issues, that his more minimalist/less rendered style was kind of hit or miss page to page. Some I didn’t particularly care for, while others, like this one, really worked. He brings some nice figure work at times and I feel his clean style can have an emotive quality.

Here, the Panther is meeting with people throughout Wakanda as things in the country have been going awry. I like the flow down the page, and how you can clearly see T’Challa stand out as he is the only figure with some inks filled in. It’s capped off by a great crouching shot of the Panther, with those square-ish Kirby claws :) I also like how those 2 images at the bottom, though 2 different panels, almost feel like they’re one with the trees in the background sort of appearing to be the same tree. Nice optic effect!
