Also I just read that Reginald Hudlin "Who is the Black Panther" article at Marvel.com that was posted here a few days ago. Apparently it's old but I had never read it. Really put things into perspective and makes me hate everything Coates has done with this character.

Apparently during Hudlin's time the bit in the book where T'Chaka before he is killed tells off those European leaders was also replicated in the BET animated series and it went viral. Compare that to T'Challa outright consulting with despots.
