"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
You all should be reading the Terrifics. It's a fun book, better than any of the Fantastic Four stories in years.

Bums me outs so much that it was a victim of the pandemic and is ending soon. Hopefully Strange Adventures will raise Holt’s profile enough that he gets another solo or the Terrifics gets relaunched. Would be nice to have both...
Y’know I’m actually curious what a Gene Yang Black Panther book would be like. Wouldn’t mind him getting a try on the title.
So, anyone got some news or topics cause i got nothing. I'm still waiting for those dang issues to drop.

They're still doing a BP series?
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
I'm surprised some of y'all even pick up the BP series going by the consensus in this thread.
I'll stick with the Avengers book for now. I dropped out of the Coates run a looooong time ago. I'd probably need to read it all in one go to follow everything

Not that I'm expecting much. Reading between the lines of this week's Empyre previews does not make me a happy camper.
Truly Marvel has telegraphed their shots a mile away with this whole Empyre thing. When I saw that of all the books they cancelled that the one for Wakanda was one of them even though the narrative was supposed to play out with that place being a strategic victory for one side or the other. I was already calling shenanigans! I have no faith that disrespect is the play of the day for anything Black Panther related. For a general reminder Captain America has a mini tie in...???? All to his self and it might be well written, but that is beside the point. I truly am disgusted in Ewing cause this guy knows and has written a good Panther and for added injury Blue Marvel who is criminally left out of all this steaming pile.
In my case, it's comparing the preview of Empyre: Avengers with last week's issue of the main book. Specifically, this page:
"Where shall we use our amazing technology to fight the invaders?"
"Nowhere. We must save it to protect Wakanda!"
Back in Wakanda:
"Retreat! Our pointy sticks have no effect!"
And for an added bonus, the first panel of the Avengers preview has the Hatut Zeraze firearms being less effective than Asgardians with melee weapons. It's also revealed that they are now an "independent mercenary force loyal to T'Challa". Because Grace-Jones-looking chicks with spears are the only army Wakanda needs?
It's entirely possible a firearm can be less effective than a melee weapon when that melee weapon is being swung at you by a god.
The HZ thing is sort of interesting. I'm assuming from the description and the picture that it's White Wolfs HZ from Priests run rather than the HZ's T'Challa still uses. It's sort of confusing that they use the same name and outfits though. They probably should have given White Wolfs crew a different name.
