OurWeekly is a black-focused magazine aimed at the affluent African-American communities of Los Angeles with in-depth coverage on issues pertaining to African-Americans and the communities in which they live. It has a weekly readership of 200,000, aiming to provide broad base relevant coverage including local, state, and national political and community news.

And they've just cover featured a very familiar face.

Just in time for last Friday's Black Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Bleeding Cool contributor Michael Davis made the cover, like this.

The article covered his career co-founding and co-creating Milestone, his comic book writing and art, his activism, his mentoring and studio work… and the Black Panel.

It included his recruitment of John Paul Leon, Shawn Martinborough, Bernard Chang, and N. Steven Harris. His work with Motown Animation and Filmworks, and Magic Johnson Entertainment. His new comic book plans with Level Next, a multimedia company set up with Wayne Brady. His exclusion from the much-delayed Milestone revival at DC Comics. And his work distributing comic books and spreading the word of their appeal though black churches networks and educational outlets, seen as non-traditional channels.

Looks like Our Weekly could be the latest of those.
