Guys, after reading the "First Look" of New Warriors #3 provided by Comics Continuum, I am really starting to believe that BP may be funding the New Warriors.
I hope that doesn't turn out to be true, bc this sends BP in a direction that I really don't want to see. If Black Panther is supporting New Warriors, that makes him a "an enemy of the United States" and puts him on the level of the CIA doing things people don't like.
Right now, the SHRA is law and is the new status quo at Marvel and it is supported by the majority of Americans (per Marvel's management). For BP to support New Warriors in a finacial and or technological way, means he--a foreign power--is actively trying to destabolize the United States (and yes, that's exactly what New Warriors is about--rebellion). (This is especially true when with his public face he is working with the FF, a team that is under SHRA now and then he supports a team that is not only not-registered but actively acting against it.)
This isn't the same as during Civil War when the direction of Marvel was in question. We now know. As far as Marvel is concerned SHRA is a good thing and it is the direction of the MU for the time being. (And let's face it, the logic of the anti-registration heroes hasn't actually made a whole lot of sense either, esp. for the New Avengers.) [Now, i'm not saying I like the SHRA, but it's the new status quo.]
If this is found out, (and even if it is not), BP has just justified US action against Wakanda. It would make it impossible to have BP operating in the US--overtly, like on the FF. He has done something that the US gov't would not simply ignore and I for one don't care to read for "REAL" US/Wakanda war or conflict. Poltical manuevering can be a fun read--direct opposition has implications that would send BP in a direction i'd rather not see.
