The arc is called the “THE LONG SHADOW”


i dig it

I do too. I'm trying not to get too hyped after what happened over the last few years but I'm optimistic that we will see improvement.

So is the cape officially back?

[CosmiComic]

While the cape does look more "regal", I think the suit works better without it in combat

That's a Bianchi variant so that might just be for this cover.

Based on the solicits for the 1st issue, I hope that the secret agent is a female(new character) and is not named Nakia.

I’m actually hoping the agent is the friend (hopefully male lol) and the love interest is the thing from T’Challa’s past, which probably throws a wrench in things, especially this agenda he’s keeping from everyone.

But yea I think this feels like such a sharp turn from Coates that it’s looking like we’re not getting any Storm, MA, or cosmic stuff. At least for now.

I hope so.

This is all looking really good. Globetrotting espionage, focus on friendship, T’Challa having agency, potentially new love interest. Heavy Priest vibes from all this, hoping Ridley delivers.

I see they quickly returned to the socio-political thriller that really works for BP. A little bit of Priest, a little bit of Hudlin.

It's hard to mess that up.

If the agent is a guy, I hope it's an already established supporting character - Derek Khanata, Kasper Kole etc. If there is a new LI, I want a brand new character and she should have limited powers. Nuhuman maybe.

And I still want Zanda brought back.

Please don't eff this up

I'm getting a "Who is the Black Panther?" vibes from this

[MindofShadow]

Lol, it just clicked that this was done by John Romita Jr.

Silly of me

Where are you guys finding these variants at?

[Ekie]

They don't have to die but they should either disappear or take a different approach with them.

I'd have them do something where they recruit young women across Africa and set up their own version of the Red Room.

I prefer they become full on villains. Scarcely used ones
