Black Panther Appreciation 2019

I ain't witness such viciousness ad-libbed about someone since Tupac came out with Hit Em Up

Jesus

It is just ridiculous. Dude just bloates books for no reason.

It could have skipped all the double crossing "not the real story!" stupid crap and just got to the point (finding Jengu, whatever the hell that means and why it is relevant at all)

He has already used the "that isn't the real story!" device in season 2 with Native American allegory.

Hate to pile on, but we might be looking at a 14 issue arc. Saw a post on FB that was copied from a Coates post.(I looked but didn't see it on twitter.)

It had an Acuna cover and the caption said issue 14. Coates commented that "people say this arc is Star Wars, but its not Star Wars its the Middle Passage." He expands on that for a few more sentences.

For those unaware:

The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade.

Because Coates just loves his slavery allegories...

I'd just keep going and see how you lik eit. Each run is vastly different

Thanks for the list.

Imagine failing so hard at a slave allegory that people mistake the GD MIDDLE PASSAGE OF THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE for a ... book about telekinetic monks with laser swords in space

Nice

Two words in BP vs DP brought a slight smile to my face, for reasons the regulars might recall:

I find myself wondering if the writer lurks around here.

Black Panther 9 is trash.

Continuing to add elements to the story despite being 9 issues into a 12 issue story.

It is going no where. Adding in new mysteries to start an issue and then answering those mysteries in later isn't good story telling. It isn't "world building." you don't adding character in issue 9 and then have to sit there and explain who everyone is the whole issue and then go "splash page cliff hanger!"

"HEre is a new character! gotcha, he isn't what he seemed!!!" Who gives a ****? I just met the dude, how was I supposed to know if he was good, bad, indifferent, ect?

This is the worst season so far. At least season 1 had a GD point. Shitty point but the story telling was at least somewhat consistent. This season is just stupid. Without Acuna art, it has nothing going for it.

You can only hide behind the "mystery" so long before it is just bad story telling, not "its a mystery story!"

Soooo....you say it ain't good.

Dang! No more minis, Avengers: BP's Quest is over. All we got left is Avengers.

We had it good for a while. I hope there is some more BP related stuff coming out.

I did pick up a cool Killmonger figure with his antelope horn mask from the movie.

Of course it's not Star Wars.

This is the Phantom Menace with Jar Jar Binks.

And like the Phantom Menace, he killed the best thing about BP(Phantom Menace killed Darth Maul).

Hunter was cool. I wonder if they might consider going that route in the comics. The comics Hunter isn't TOO BAD as far as villains go.

He was a serial killer for a while just to annoy Tchalla in new york

True, I guess that is pretty bad. His loyalty was to Wakanda... but that really doesn't excuse that sort of behavior.

It's too bad though. I would have liked to see the family dynamic between Hunter, T'Challa and Shuri more in the comics. Even if Rise they are all barely in the same room together.

So two additional issue of hot garbages to take on more isht while the stuff that may be somewhat interesting gets left in the dust? I swear he is like a second rate Hickman, brings in isht just to drop it within an issue.. like there is no purpose or direction to his story. It's just plodding along aimlessly. He clearly has enough content for 6 issue's max yet he is going to drag this out to 14? I hope you the end this gets into cancel range for a bee creative team to take over.

On a side note. Bp vs DP was fun and a good read. I hope he does more team ups with other characters. I'd like to see him team up with Thor, Tony, blade, Miles, and cage again

Truly what we all are hoping comes at the very end Coates run. Dude can't write BP. Apparently Cap fans love his take on Steve, but he cannot write B his obsession with stereotypical Africa, Columbus allegories and failed middle passage allegories just needs to stop. No one gives a isht about that or wants that in BP. He has failed Everytime, at literally every BP related book he has touched in a writing capacity

Black Panther 9 is trash.

Continuing to add elements to the story despite being 9 issues into a 12 issue story.

I wouldn't call it trash, but the added mythology seems unnecessary at this point. At a minimum, the story doesn't have time to develop it properly and it's unlikely to return after this arc. I don't quite think it made sense to think it's ending at issue #12 given the story pacing, but I certainly wouldn't place it out of the realm of possibility.

Deadpool/Black Panther has some of the best fourth wall breaking in years. The X-salute thing was great. The "All the Stars" reference made me chuckle. Seriously, it did a great job with both characters, although I'd consider it a Deadpool book more than a Black Panther book.

Id say it was an even split. The first two issues were more BP, the third was about Jack O'Lantern with BP and DP getting equal time. The last two were more DP

As far as panel time, it was a pretty even split. Might even give BP the slight edge at the start.

But in terms of tone, it really feels like a Deadpool story with BP in it. It had that almost Looney Tunes cartoon feel to it that DP stories sometimes have.

Eh, Secret Wars wiped that away :P
