Good to read your insights again.

I'm withholding judgment on Hill's Ultimate BP just yet, though I do see there could be pacing problems if the story doesn't pick up more. It felt like this issue...

Just looked at the NXT Stand & Deliver match (on Peacock) between Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes. Hayes was wearing Black Panther-inspired gear, including even the necklace.

I loved the first one but thought the second one had too many Bayisms. I liked the third one, though I didn't like the idea that they established Lowery's style came from someone else. The new movie...

Storm and T'Challa were also in Eric Jerome Dickey's Storm miniseries, which was setting up the wedding in Hudlin's run. From what I recall, T'Challa also played a bit role in another Storm-centric...

Let me change what I said before a bit. I don't know if Gay chose the storyline for World of Wakanda, or if it was given to her. But anyway, she did the writing and she had the characters disrespect...

The way I see it is that Coates, and his colleague Roxane Gay (I read her World of Wakanda series as well), made their bones writing about the ills of (American) society, and so it's hard for them to...

About the Orishas I hadn't considered that about them. I was looking at it from the perspective of deepening Wakandan religion and mythology.

I would also keep the things you said. To me, a lot of Coates's run had decent to good ideas, but weren't always executed well. The People weren't a bad idea, but not well executed in part because of...

I also liked the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda as a concept. I think it opens doors for more cosmic stories. While I overall didn't care for how Coates wrote T'Challa or saw Wakanda, I do think his...

Does Hill's Blade run end with Issue #10? I really hope not. This is the best version of Blade I've seen outside of the first two Snipes's movies.

Read it a little while ago. I thought it was rushed, but that's understandable because Ewing only had an issue to finish her story. The artwork was fine, the writing decent (albeit the climax was a...

I loved the idea of the T'Challa and Storm marriage, but the execution has often left a lot to be desired. At this point, I would rather that a new love interest is created for him, and I would be...

You hit so many nails on the head there you might need to buy more nails. I see Coates's take on T'Challa as him using the character to create a positive masculinity example. Coates didn't make...

To be fair to Ewing, I don't know how much leeway she had regarding the premise. This might have been the way Marvel wanted to go and she had to get in where she fit in. I'm assuming though that...

I didn't care for Ewing's premise either. It reminded me of what Liss had to work with, however, I thought Liss ultimately did a better job despite the creative handcuffs put on him. I do think Ewing...

Not impressed with this trailer. The level of violence and the lighting work for me though. I also think the cast might be alright too. I was getting Morbius and Bloodshot vibes when looking at it....

Congrats to Dr. Ewing. I'm not mad at her. Lots of other creators have failed upwards, as you say. Perhaps BP just wasn't the right fit, at the right time, for Ewing. Ewing was saddled with a bad...

The jury is still out on Ultimate Black Panther for me. I really want it to be good because of Hill's impressive work on Blade. But so far, I haven't been bowled over on Ultimate Black Panther. It's...

Largely agree here, though I did think his first issue was good. I thought at the time that it was a breath of fresh air compared to Coates and that Ridley was going back to a more Machiavellian...

I need to pay more attention to Aaron's BP stories. You don't think Hudlin wrote T'Challa with "main character" energy?

By the way, I also really liked Priest's T'Challa. That's the best version...

I've long thought that Black comic book heroes, as well as many Black characters in entertainment, are written through a racial filter. I don't think it's always necessarily intentional, but there's...

A Nation Under Our Feet wasn't excellent on any level to me (outside of some of the artwork), but it was better than I thought it would be, and it was better than any of Ridley's arc and Ewing's...

A few things about the shaman in my opinion:
-I also think his people were abusing women. It's implied, far as I'm concerned, in a conversation where the Midnight Angels demand that he put a stop to...

Read Dr. Ewing's latest. This is one of her best issues to me. We are finally getting some answers and it feels like things are moving faster. I liked the design of the demon. If the next issue is...
