@tanehisicoates Be honest, everything else was just the set-up to get the Marvel gig, right?

@tanehisicoates Were you a fan of the BP/Namor "relationship" in Hickman's run? What were your favorite moments?

@tanehisicoates Any heroes or villains showing up in your BP run that you can hint at?

.@tanehisicoates can be eloquent, but he overlooks vast amounts of evidence about African-American life. http://t.co/5crLOmMGDO

@tanehisicoates You're just sitting in front of your computer, laughing maniacally as you drop the vaguest of hints aren't you? And congrats

Wondering if James Baldwin will make a cameo in @tanehisicoates' impending Black Panther comic, and what his superpower will be.

— Baxter Holland (@MathRawk) September 23, 2015

@tanehisicoates That all sounds very fascinating, but is he also going to punch some supervillains?

— bart (@bart_smith) September 23, 2015

@tanehisicoates but of course what (for me) makes a comic great is a great villain. Really excited to see what you come up with.

@tanehisicoates is the Heart-Shaped Herb covered by Wakanda's health system, or does T'Challa pay out of pocket?

@tanehisicoates probably asked this but the promo image implies declaration of war on Wakanda, are we going to see more/new Wakandians?
