The Justice League continues to reel from the Fan's attack, and Cyborg must face a congressional inquiry. Meanwhile Batman and the JLA calls in the Justice League to answer a disaster in Este Park, Arkansas. Is it a good read?

In the final story, we see the alternate future in which T'Challa and Ororo Munroe conquer the world. Black Panther Annual #1 cover by Daniel Acuna Christopher Priest, Mike Perkins, and Andy Troy's story is a callback and celebration of Priest's distinct run on T'Challa's series Don McGregor and Daniel Acuna's piece was an emotional tale set[...]

This is one you have to see to believe. Justice League #39 cover by Paul Pelletier and Adriano Lucas Justice League #39 Christopher Priest has managed to leave his stamp on Justice League in a short period of time Writing a book that is a better sequel to Watchmen than even Doomsday Clock, Priest is deconstructing and examining DC's headlining heroes in a way[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Christopher Priest's Black Panther is a fascinating animal in the grand scheme of comic book writing, and it is more than worth of extended discussion With that in mind, we're going to complete the Vol 1 Complete Collection of his Black Panther run. When we left off, T'Challa had taken back Wakanda from Achebe and[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Let's continue our celebration of the King of Wakanda with a look at what many consider to be the best run of Black Panther, Christopher Priest's Marvel Knights series from 1998. This series centers around Everett K Ross, a federal employee who is tasked with being the U.S government attaché for T'Challa when the king[...]

Slade recruits Terra to help with the task. Rose herself has come across the super-powered David Isherwood, who has a profound grudge against Slade Wilson. Joseph Wilson is having his on troubles in the shadow of Defiance. Deathstroke #28 cover by Ryan Sook Though "Defiance" was an interesting arc for Deathstroke, it is nice to see Slade back in[...]

Christopher Priest and Marco Santucci do a good job of conveying the helplessness and desperation Barry experiences while floating freely through the void of space. The rest of the comic returns to the team strife Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Green Lantern Simon Baz are unsure if Batman is still fit to lead the team and[...]

This bothers Tanya, as she owns the building. Kid Flash returns to the team, too, and that results in some interesting conflicts between he and Tanya as well as Slade himself. Christopher Priest plays with the interpersonal drama very well, and the story takes a lot of turns In can seem a little disjointed for a while,[...]

Meanwhile, the rest of the League attempt to investigate who this Fan is and how deeply he's infiltrated their organization. Justice League #37 cover by Pete Woods While not as shocking or gripping as Justice League #36, this issue is another strong output from writer Christopher Priest It continues to show the fallibility of the team, even[...]

However, this violates the Justice League charter and is subject to Chinese sovereignty regarding how the situation should be resolved. Justice League #36 cover by Pete Woods Christopher Priest is flipping the Justice League table in rapid and spectacular fashion In a similar manner to how he approached Marvel Knights: Black Panther, Priest is very interested in[...]

Christopher Priest seems to be banking on people remembering events of issues past more than may be fair Priest is good enough at succinctly recounting most of the significant plot points so that it's not a problem often, but there are moments that left me a little lost. I'll always be impressed at how good Christopher[...]

Christmas pushed back my schedule somewhat. Anyway, literal toilet humor aside, Christopher Priest lays out the plot of this comic in an interesting manner While the fallout of last issue's failure is constantly in the forefront of everyone's mind, the comic itself still deals with a different threat It's actually quite clever storytelling, because it is[...]

Cyborg is on deck just in case anyone needs backup. It's going to be a long day. Justice League #34 cover by Pete Woods Without spoiling anything, Christopher Priest's first arc on Justice League is tackling an interesting angle: the fallibility of Batman Even he has his limits, and the best Batman stories will explore those limits as much[...]

This leaves Slade far from helpless, but Isherwood is immensely powerful now. Deathstroke #26 cover by Ryan Sook As you can see from that lengthy plot summary, Christopher Priest really is a master of working a lot of plot into the relatively small space of a 20-page comic book It's quite admirable, and he manages to do[...]

Deathstroke has been abducted by the Society, and they are upset with Slade for his apparent moral turn. It's the trial of Slade Wilson. But is it good?

Deathstroke discovered this, because of course he did, and now all of Wally's inner thoughts and uncovered facts are being aired out before the rest of the team. This includes his thoughts on his teammates, his encounter with a shooter alongside Power Girl, a shopping trip with Jericho, eavesdropping on a conflict between Tara and Ravager,[...]

Slade won't tilt his hand to anyone, if he is indeed hiding anything. Christopher Priest has really put together a complex and absorbing narrative here where the endgame is nigh-impossible to predict I'm not even sure he knows where he's going with this (and I mean that in a good way; sometimes you need to let[...]

The Defiance team genuinely has me guessing as to where Deathstroke and legendary writer Christopher Priest are going with this Give this one a read. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Deathstroke's new team, Defiance, has invaded Chetland to stop an army of light constructs that are attacking and to save the U.S marines whom have been taken[...]

There has been much speculation as to who may be promoted to tapped to be the new Batman Group Editor. We understand that one person who was much discussed — and has much discussion with — was current Deathstroke writer and comic book veteran, Christopher Priest He originally began in editorial working at Marvel under Jim[...]

Terra is there as a plant for Adeline. This is the poster-boy comic for, "where are you going with this?" a question that has to be leveled at veteran writer, Christopher Priest, who really is throwing the readership for a loop here. That's not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination I'm always up for[...]

At their presentation, Marvel is likely announcing the return of Christopher Priest to Marvel to write Inhumans: Once And Future Kings with artist Phil Noto Concurrently, however, Marvel media partners CBR had a prefab EXCLUSIVE interview with Priest ready to go which has so much synergy with Marvel's marketing it doesn't even mention the artist in the[...]

Christopher Priest, in chatting about the upcoming issues of Deathstroke, tells of how Deathstroke learns about who is trying to kill his daughter in issue #5, but the cliffhanger in issue #6 is so good that you'll forget everything else up until then. Deathstroke will also have to deal with a decision he made in issue[...]

The Klang! ebook about the doings and don'tings of Quantum And Woody isn't written by Priest, Or Christopher Priest Or even Jim Osley But by James Priest. So what's with the latest change in nomenclature? I asked the man in question He told me, I haven't changed my name again :-) Most people still call me simply[...]

Writer James Priest, formerly known as Priest, Christopher Priest and Jim Owsley, has published an e-book, Klang! featuring unpublished scripts from the original Quantum & Woody run by Valiant/Acclaim and the original first drafts of his scripts from the more recent revival Q2: The Return of Quantum & Woody series published by Valiant Entertainment. The ebook is available[...]

What Black Panther comics to read? Marvel promoted the Reginald Hudlin run the most but some found it lacking. Well, Amazon now has the answer, with a listing for Black Panther by Christopher Priest: The Complete Collection Volume 1. A series of trade paperbacks with around twenty issues in each, collecting Priest's run on the book[...]

He writes, Twenty-one years ago, five friends, Denys Cowan, Derek Dingle, Dwayne McDuffie, Christopher Priest, and I partner to form Milestone Media The Dakota Universe was born soon afterwards There was one goal above all: to create a universe of good stories, well told, featuring characters of color. We did, and when we did, comics changed. Milestone was[...]

A chance to following in the steps of Dwayne McDuffie, the late and beloved writer of The Justice League in comics and animation; a chance to be a Christopher Priest, who wrote not only Falcon, Power Man and Iron Fist and Black Panther but also wrote Green Lantern. That's two I wish could give more examples[...]

Multi-award winning science fiction author Christopher Priest (The Prestige) has two new novels coming out from Titan this month The first, The Adjacent, debuted earlier this week and Titan have been kind enough to provide you book-junkies with an excerpt from the novel Look out for his second novel this month, The Islanders, too. But first,[...]

Naam does this sort of thing supremely well, and both this and the sequel, Crux, are picking up nothing but good word. The Adjacent by Christopher Priest (Gollancz) Tibor Tarent, a freelance photographer, is recalled to Britain from Anatolia where his wife Melanie has been killed by insurgent militia IRGB is a nation living in the aftermath[...]

According to the film (now seen by how many thousands?), Static was created by Dwayne McDuffie, Robert Washington, and John Paul Leon. I have nothing but LOVE for what the filmmakers attempted to do, but those credits are just wrong. Dwayne McDuffie, Derek Dingle, Denys Cowan, Christopher Priest, & myself, created Static. John Paul & Robert Washington more[...]
