Yeah. But I can’t help but be a little pessimistic. I had to suffer through five years of Coates wrecking one of my favorite characters. Then the movie comes out and blows everyone away and we even get ROTBP as the one bright spot in the Coates era.
Then Chadwick Boseman dies and now there’s a very real possibility that T’Challa could get killed off since Marvel is hellbent on not recasting him. And that’s not even getting into how many casuals think T’Challa is disposable or interchangeable with any Wakandan because Black Panther is “just a mantle”. I know a lot of y’all are confident he won’t get killed off in comics , cartoons, or video games but again, synergy is a hell of a drug and I just can’t bring myself to trust Marvel now regarding how this character has been handled. Granted, seeing E-Mans petition getting more signatures by the day warms my heart, but I’m just tired man. I really am.

Always is man. On one hand it makes people aware of the character, a movie reaches more people than a comic ever will, and it permanently enshrined T’Challa as a big deal. But - it also makes people feel like they’re experts on the character now, even if they’ve never read a comic they think they “know” who he is, and while adaptions can be fantastic (and in rare cases even better than the source material), they can’t measure up to the decades of stories that have shaped T’Challa as a character, there’s just too much material to cover.
I wish Marvel did more standalone stories outside the main continuity like DC does. They’re kind of starting too it seems with the return of “What If?”, I hope T’Challa gets a What-If? story too. I’d like more BP stories that are just about an established T’Challa doing his thing, unchained by the weight of the status quo or the need to do creative synergy with the MCU.

Remember what happened to Cyborg at Dc? Every member of JLA had a solo at the start of New 52 EXCEPT him.
He did not get get one until DC You as something else had happened right around that time-excluding Spawn and Savage Dragon-there were NO black male lead books in stores. Miles & Falcon had their books stopped for Secret Wars 2.
Cyborg's book comes out to decent numbers and those number got worst as Miles, Panther and others of black skin got books.
Now if we were to take that logic into Marvel-here is what is coming out in July and onward
Miles Morales's Clone Saga with 20 variants.
Brandon Thomas's Shilo Norman book.
Redjack's Green Lantern
Duke Thomas has a one shot
Shadow Man is back.
Image has yet another new black male lead book-Ordinary Gods.
And more importantly MILESTONE returns.
A new BP book would get BURIED by all of those. Because Marvel chose to alienate everyone except folks who would never buy the book or those who only care when THAT PERSON appears.
Black Panther #3 in a new run would be Black Panther #200. A new series in say July would have that issue arrive in September.
If they have anything planned for 200-the week of Black Friday or December would be a better choice.
Yeah, but doesn't DC not know what to with Cyborg?

Rant:
USPS lost the last trade I needed to complete the main Hickman New Avengers incursion story line.
Found a decent deal used and it disappeared in Tennessee.
