Don McGregor talks about his upcoming BP story.

[QUOTE=Things Fall Apart;3286277]No, I'm clever as hell.
What I am not, is someone that spends a significant time typing out whack ass rebuttals when the numbers speak for themselves.
Run along.[/QUOTE]
lolol ok when did writing a paragraph equate to significant time?? no you are far from clever but a lot closer to being delusional if you think you trolling storm in an attempt to bait her fans is clever. However your ego and your misalignment with reality is of no consequence to me. all that matters in context of black panther appreciation is that fox is close to making a deal with Disney and as I mentioned a while back Coates putting storm with BP is a good indication she will appear in his movie. so you run along while u ponder on that.
PRAISES BE TO THE ALL-GODDESS

Uh oh. Don't screw around and catch yourself a ban on my account. I'm not worth the time remember? You just typed a paragraph to tell me so.

banned for what? acknowledging that your attempt to troll about storm wasn't clever. let's not do that. at any rate in spite of all you said storm and black panther are together and hopefully if this deal goes through storm will also make an appearance in his movie.
[QUOTE=Anthony Shaw;3286206]The sad reality is that where the mutants are billed as victims of racism in their stories, BP actually has to deal with it, in-story & in terms of publication & production.[/QUOTE]
Silver Surfer and the Inhumans (and technically Namor) all started like Black Panther as FF supporting cast members.
At this point Namor's done demonstrably worse than Black Panther as a solo property(and that is being KIND) and Inhumans is failing as a franchise even as we speak.
And Silver Surfer low selling series just got cancelled...again.
You can count the number of new successful Marvel solo series on the fingers of one hand. Pick any decade you like.
And after every failure most characters go away for 10 years.
Even being published irregularly thruout the aughts is way more than the vast majority of Marvel characters can ever manage(barring intervention from a fan favorite writer/artist).
Look at Darkhawk for example. Winter Soldier for another.
I've always wondered why Aquaman can maintain some level of popularity but Namor can't really catch on.
[QUOTE=XPac;3285962]The trick is to find some sort of angle where you can tell stories about Storm that you wouldn't necessarily tell in an X-Men book. Wolverine for example has been doing it for decades.
Storm spending some time in Wakanda outside of the X-Men school is certainly a possible outlet there. But I do think a Storm writer does need to give Storm something entirely her own. Something that's not inherently a part of the X-Men or a part of Wakanda. Otherwise it's probably not worth giving Storm her own book. You can tell the same stories in either the X-Men books or in the BP books. Like a lot of things, it's about execution.[/QUOTE]
with coates mentioning that she is a goddess I'm hoping her divinity is explored. I saw there was mentioned in an article her taking on gods and potentially thanos in her solo. this is what she needs stories that have far reach in the mu and makes her a major player much how marvel keeps trying with Carol.
[QUOTE=robreedwrites;3286274]It just hit me that Moon Girl has more issues of solo comics than Storm. The X-Men franchise really messed up. Should have built their Utopia idea as Storm using her Wakandan influence to create a safehaven for mutants that was outside of Wakanda. Could have been used to tie the X-Men and BP franchises together in a healthy way and created interesting tension in BP's book as the rest of the world would have to look at Wakanda as a potential threat (could see anti-mutant villains in the US trying to pitch it as Wakanda expanding, "where will us normies go now that black people are creating safe places for mutants?" That type of bigoted BS).[/QUOTE]
All X-Men fans care about is recycled stories and the self persecution complex and X-Writers are happy to give it to them. It’s why Storm fans have taken to leeching off the BP mythos and don’t care about logic
[QUOTE=Things Fall Apart;3286377]I've always wondered why Aquaman can maintain some level of popularity but Namor can't really catch on.[/QUOTE]
Better branding, imo. Aquaman is more memorable a name, imo, than Namor or Sub-Mariner. Superfriends also probably helped Aquaman in that, while it brought out qualities that have been scorned, a lot of kids still grew up liking that character. Namor shares a lot of those negatives, but has never had that large a spotlight. Aquaman also has Mera as a love interest.

I'm glad they're doing something with the heart shaped herb. I always had a few questions about how that worked. And of course, it's cool seeing McGregor at the helm in general. He's a very underrated under appreciated architect of the mythos.

For a long time Aquaman couldn't either. Its only recently that he got the "must keep in print no matter what" status.
But at least peeps know Aquaman and Black Manta from various Justice League cartoons.
Now that the Justice League in general is a way bigger deal than it was when I was a kid Aquaman got dragged along to a greater level
of popularity despite itself.

He's a part of DC's big 7. So he'll always have relavence. Marvel never put all their eggs in the same basket to the same degree as DC did, so their star power was a little more deluded.

Some characters, no matter how entertaining, are best served in team books, or special guest stars.
I just have to ponder if BP would sell more if the creative team followed the blue print established in the MCU.
I have not put down money on a BP solo since Liss. I have not put down money on a series featuring BP since he played the crying game on a dying planet.
How much revenue has Marvel lost on the comics' side in regards to BP?

And interestingly enough, Martian Manhunter never stuck as part of DC's big 7 instead of Aquaman and that is after sawpping them out from the 80's to
whenever the New 52 came out.
Which only goes to show you how much TV matters.
Aquaman was in a bunch of the cartoons I saw as a kid.
