Ta-Nehisi Coates Archives

With some great artistic talent and the ever-lovable America Chavez, Gabby Rivera gave this book the beautiful sendoff it deserved. Loss: Black Panther #170 Chooses Spectacle Over Plot Advancement Black Panther #170 cover by Phil Noto While I'm still a huge fan of this series and the unique perspective brought by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, delivering yet more plot complication as opposed to[...]

Without giving anything away in that regard, it ends up raising more questions than answers. Frankly, the Midnight Angels' assault on the Klaw's fortress was an exciting development at the end of Black Panther #176, and it is a little frustrating that Ta-Nehisi Coates didn't elect to continue that plotline after the Annual. It is good to[...]

It's taken a while to come through but, as we also heard, it has been confirmed in The Atlantic that the next writer of the Captain America monthly comic book, to follow Mark Waid, is author, columnist, comic book writer, and activist Ta-Nehisi Coates. Leinil Yu will be drawing the book Covers by Alex Ross. And yes, that it[...]

Spectacular Spider-Man #300, Terriifcs #1, Mera going solo, and more! As always there are plenty of comic offerings to put in your pull box. More details here.

We've been reporting since June last year that Ta-Nehisi Coates will be writing the ongoing Captain America comic book for Marvel And now, after an extended run from Mark Waid and Chris Samnee — before Samnee leaves for DC Comics — all the indications are that this will be announced next week That we will see a[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] We arrive at the conclusion of Bleeding Cool's Five Days of Black Panther with the current Black Panther series by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and artists such as Chris Sprouse, Brian Stelfreeze, and Leonard Kirk. This was my first Black Panther solo series, as I was turned onto the character primarily by Al Ewing's Ultimates[...]

While the Black Panther is elsewhere dealing with another invasion in Wakanda, the Klaw is enacting his plan to bring back his sister. This gives the Dora Milaje and Midnight Angel Aneka an opportunity to escape with her beloved Ayo. Does this make for a good read?

I adore Ta-Nehisi Coates and Chris Sprouse-helmed comic series, even as it seems to be betting far too much on this current arc. That's why Rise of the Black Panther #1 was an intense disappointment Another Black Panther title documenting his origins seemed like a promising miniseries to lead up to the film (have to love[...]

"Avengers of the New World" has the threat of the elder gods, the threat of Klaw and his allies, the continuing stability troubles in Wakanda, Azania bearing its fangs at Wakanda, and many other subplots to boot. To add to the problem, Ta-Nehisi Coates, as immensely talented as he is, likes to devote entire issues to[...]

Black Panther needs his help in studying and tracking recent attempts to create synthetic Vibranium in the hopes of pinning down the Klaw's new schemes against Wakanda. Later, T'Challa and Shuri return to the Djalia to learn more of the Originators they are currently struggling against. Black Panther #167 cover by Brian Stelfreeze and Laura Martin As always,[...]

We see what has been going on in Ulysses Klaw's headspace and why he is here working alongside Zeke Stane, Doctor Faustus, and Zenzi the Revealer. Ta-Nehisi Coates lays out his version of the Klaw here It is one that is unlike one I've personally seen in the past, but it does not stray out of[...]

They find a village wiped out and two-headed creatures coming from yet another portal. This is as good a time as any to point out how skilled writer Ta-Nehisi Coates is at constructing a lengthy story arc that stays engaging enough to not feel so long He accomplished this with the first arc, 'Nation Under Our[...]

Black Panther and Storm have set out to help the people of Alkama and investigate this Sefako. "Avengers of the New World" is proving to be another lengthy epic in the saga of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther I'm not sure it's reached "Nation Under Our Feet" level of quality yet, but it is compelling none the[...]

Well, dammit. The final issue of the Ta-Nehisi Coates series brings us the sort-of finale to the investigation into the death of Ezra Keith conducted by Black Panther and his "Crew" consisting of Luke Cage, Storm, Misty Knight, and Manifold. Who did it? I won't say here, but the ending of the last issue kind of told[...]

Ezra Keith was a good man, and he was brought low by his own allies and the people that backed them. This discussion has probably been a lot more unfocused than I intended. I guess my point is, as always Ta-Nehisi Coates's Black Panther and the Crew remains a thought-provoking comic giving a measured discussion to real-world problems,[...]

There, they must battle the Fenris Twins, members of the Wrecking Crew, and a myriad of other known rogues to be able to find Asira — if she is still alive. Compared to much of Ta-Nehisi Coates' issues of Black Panther, this one is a little light on plot What it lacks in plot advancement, though,[...]

Variety Magazine writer Daniel Holloway discusses the surge of black superheroes into the realm of Marvel and DC television and film.

Marvel has revealed the details for Black Panther in Marvel Legacy, from Ta-Nehisi Coates, Leonard Kirk, and Brian Stelfreeze. Marvel has been slowly doling out EXCLUSIVE reveals for its Marvel Legacy titles to all of its compliant media partner websites The latest is Black Panther, revealed in an interview on Entertainment Weekly with the creative team[...]

Maybe Ta-Nehisi Coates can push through a series about these heroes I'd definitely be up for buying that book. That being said, this is made up for by the "hell yeah" moments Luke Cage and Misty Knight get to deliver in the comic Hydra blowing up Luke's apartment? That's fine; he'll make up for it by jumping straight[...]

So T'Challa goes to seek out Storm for aid. Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther comic truly has become one of the kings of the Marvel list in terms of quality It's a fantastic comic with an endlessly compelling protagonist with a good supporting cast facing complex issues. Where "Nation Under Our Feet" dealt more with human problems and political[...]

After all, we have been given to understand from pretty well sourced folk that Captain America will return to monthly status, with a Marvel Legacy renumbering of #694 at some point. But the big name who will rehabilitate Captain America, who will find a new way to explore him as a symbol of America, then and now,[...]

[rwp-review-recap id='0'] Ta-Nehisi Coates has pulled off the near-impossible with his Black Panther series Where lengthy story arcs are usually a huge detriment to comic books, Coates made an explosive start in Black Panther through a year-long story of revolution and civil war in T'Challa's homeland of Wakanda In the aftermath of this long tale, he[...]

In 2016, Roxane Gay became one of the first black women to write a comic at Marvel as part of the creative team of Black Panther: World of Wakanda, which also featured co-writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and artist Alitha Martinez, covers by Afua Richardson, and Yona Harvey on a backup story in the first issue. However, as Bleeding Cool[...]

In a recent interview with Eisner Award winning Comic Book Resources, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso dropped some exciting teases for fans of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther… yes, Black Panther According to Alonso, while Coates is already signed on for a second year of Black Panther stories (as we already knew), he may even have a[...]

In the latest commentary track for Black Panther, Ta-Nehisi Coates talks about an aspect of the hero that other in the Marvel Universe don't have That he is a head of state and must rule / govern his people The weight on doing what is best for his nation is a huge burden and with[...]

A few things to note about these first few pages of Black Panther #1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze. First, it is very much set in Marvel continuity, based on what has come before A different approach to, say, Reginald Hudlin's reworking of the character a few years ago. A Nation Under Our Feet subtitled "Black Political Struggles[...]
