T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2021

[skyvolt2000]

Also, I cant think of a single thing id keep from coats run (I ly bought one issue after the slanderous interviews). I have a general knowledge from the forums and even the villains seem lackluster in an already crowded and underexplored field. Maybe the plane designs but that might be stelfreeze.

Coates CA run ends in June.

I am looking at the comments in Bleedingcool-almost EVERYTHING Panther fans have complained about. Yet Panther fans were lying and being unreasonable.

Marvel is doing an event called Marvel Mission on Twitter. Good opportunity to express your opinion that they should recast The Black Panther and continue the story of the first black superhero ever using the hashtag #Marvelmission

If you are so inclined

Funniest thing I’ve read all day.


“ Terrible run. Like Marvel heard people crying over Spencer and Coates said “Hold my Chardonnay.” There’s no way this elitist drinks beer.

So many issues of Cap gawking at supporting characters while they steal the spotlight. Cucktain America.

Coates made Spencer look like Grant Morrison. Nowhere to go but up from here. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, too - 20 issues. Shame on him? Nah, shame on me.” - Supreme41

PAST ready.....

Because it means few "folks" in here trying to demand Panther fans to worship Coates. No more being told to accept and celebrate crumbs because it fits THEIR agenda.

Which I don't get because at the end of the day-

Coates got Superman.
There will be a Black Panther (in name) movie and Wakanda series.
Shuri is still being pushed outside media with her own books.
Black Panther volume 9 will happen SOMEDAY

What did they get? Every dollar they spent on this book benefitted PANTHER. Their hyping of the book benefitted PANTHER. Throwing shade at Redjack & Spectrum did what good?
At the end if the day MARVEL used them. That is what Marvel did.

Oh well Everybody be sure to support Green Lantern next month (got mine pre-ordered) and see what could have been.

But skyvolt, Coates is black! We must expeditiously support any and every product he puts out as black people otherwise we’re toxic or not really invested in supporting black creators. If you don’t support the hostile takeover of the Black Panther you ain’t black to begin with! Am I doing it right?

[Marvell2100]

I see KiB: Planet of the Symbiotes #2 made it into the top 75 too.

Hmmm....I wonder what they both have in common. A certain writer perhaps?

CORRECT

Funny thing is many of us are supporting black creators.

I do find it funny even Cap America fans were complaining about the SAME thing as Panther fans were.

Yet no one will call Cap fans fake fans or anything.

This is the stuff that will have Superman fans worried. Those fans have NO issue in venting over how Superman is done by ANYONE even if the book is not about him.

We're a bunch of haterz who want god Black Panther to punchandpunchandpunch.

We aren't deep enough to understand the intricacies of Coates in-depth writing.

Well, I don't need to walk into a barn to know that horse isht stinks.

And thats just a tie in. What could have been
Still need to get my physical copy

Lot of good word of mouth from what I saw about the issue on reddit, Twitter, and elsewhere. Lot of people were liking Redjack’s take and asking if he was going to be the next BP writer. So of course Marvel passes on Redjack

So what your saying is that a one shot for a tie in. Straight up crushed the other tie ins and the main story as well, among multiple other well known and popular titles... Again I pray for the day they we get to see more of your Black Panther

[Ezyo1000]

Lot of good word of mouth from what I saw about the issue on reddit, Twitter, and elsewhere. Lot of people were liking Redjack’s take and asking if he was going to be the next BP writer. So of course Marvel passes on Redjack

see there are a few things I would use twitter for. Supporting a recast of T'Challa and supporting Redjack becoming the next BP writer. Dude has already long since proven his skill. Whomever marvel passed him for better be channeling a MINIMUM of RJs KiB Black Panther... MINIMUM

[Redjack]

I see KiB: Planet of the Symbiotes #2 made it into the top 75 too.

Hmmm....I wonder what they both have in common. A certain writer perhaps?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

we serve at the pleasure of the Editors.

PS

FUTURE STATE: GREEN LANTERN was #35.

It will forever blow my mind that Coates used this book to audition to be an X-Men scribe only to end up writing the granddaddy of all superheroes.

[Mike_Murdock]

Literally the only things I want to stay from the Coates era is Griot Shuri and for Tetu and Zenzi to stick around so that a better writer can work with them. Other than that, everything else can gtfo.

I'll echo Tetu and Zenzi. They're cool designs. Their powers can be interesting, even if very vaguely defined. And T'Challa needs more of a rogue's gallery that is his own. I hope even those who don't like them would agree there's nothing there that can't be salvaged by a writer they find more appealing.

Personally, I'm not opposed to the Midnight Angels sticking around just from a visual perspective. That being said, I think the premise of another militant faction inside Wakanda is wasted. They fill a sort of Jabari role in some ways as an ally rather than subject-citizen, but the second they agreed to help T'Challa, they essentially started working for him (ironically making their fears correct).
