Holy **** it’s over! Alright who do you guys want? Marvel is probably going to want a black writer to take over for Coates, so that bears remembering.
My picks:
Eve Ewing - She’s done a fantastic job on Ironheart, why not let her try Panther?
Bryan Hill - I really dug the Killmonger mini he did, he’s someone who is really good at getting to the emotional core of the characters
Evan Narcisse - I enjoyed his Rise mini, I’d be curious to see what he does on the main book
Al Ewing - He has a great love and respect for continuity but he’s not blinded by nostalgia. He’ll respect previous writers work but he’ll also take T’Challa to new places. And for you guys who love feats, Ewing is absolutely your guy lol
Mark Waid - Morrison and Waid are the one who created “Batgod” over at DC, and Waid is also someone like Ewing who can use continuity to go new places. He even had a BP pitch a while back but Marvel passed because they wanted a black creator which I understand
Hickman - Very slim chance since he’s on X-Men but he’s someone who can handle “big ideas” sci fi and I think he’d do well
Redjack should send in his pitch, with the Coates era coming to a close maybe they’d let him do his BP stuff in a side book or even consider him for the main book.
The nightmare is coming to an end! Bast be praised!!!

T'Challa
A.K.A. The Black Panther
King of Wakanda
King of the Dead and The Champion of Bast
Two-Time Time Magazine "Person Of The Year"
Six-Time People Magazine "Sexiest Man Alive"
Syfy published an article not too long ago saying Black Panther or Wakanda wouldn't exist without the Dora.
And they announced it on the last day of Black History Month. I thinks that's a gift to the fans. Lol.
Priest is my dream pick to write BP again but I don't see that happening. So my next best choice would be Redjack, I enjoyed BP's Quest Quest and some his ideas for a solo were really good.
After Geoffrey Thorne I'd nominate Evan Narcisse. I think Rise was really good in the beginning, the ending was rushed, would've been better with a few more issues. He introduced a lot of cool things that I'd like to see again and I liked the way he wrote T'Challa, a younger version of Priest's BP.
David Liss. He took a terrible premise and after a crap event story created a gem of a series. I would be excited to see how his T'Challa would do with all his resources and abilities.
Johnathan Hickman would do a great job and I remember him mentioning that he had ideas for a Black Panther series. Like with Priest, I see this as unlikely.
Hill is trying to get back to Hollywood and that is why his X-book ended. He is already working for DC on Titans tv show and with what WB wants done-I don't think he'll have time for a Marvel book.
Waid is out because he is now in charge of a company where he is doing books already for them and a few others. It would take a lot to get him.
Redjack might be out if DC is rumored to be after him.
Most of the black ones I am thinking of all got something bigger going on-that might not make them available.
Eve is already here.
Ray Anthony Height is here (he does Midnight Tiger-his own creation). It would be a career boost for him.
TOO bad Maj isn't here to celebrate with us.
Where is everyone's favorite Storm fan to join in on our rejoicing lol?
