"Where will you be when it all ends?" asks the new Avengers: Infinity War TV spot entitled 'Chant'. The name comes, presumably, from the scene on the fields of Wakanda where an unmasked T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) lets out a war cry in Wakandan echoed by the armies of the mythical nation. In the background you can see the […]
Black Panther will be the next Avengers ARTFX+ statue from Kotobukiya. Based on the art of Adi Granov, this statue will feature T'Challa perched on a rock on 1/10th scale. Curiously, Kotobukiya says that this next wave of statues is to be displayed vertically instead of horizontally like so many of their statues are. That […]
WonderCon 2018 had some pretty great moments, but the highlight for me was getting to speak with Black Panther costume designer Ruth Carter.

Apparently I went to Disneyland a week too early because today, King T'Challa (The Black Panther) and his Wakandan delegation of Dora Milaje made their first appearance in California Adventures.

Black Panther is maybe the most socially important film in the superhero genre. We all kind of knew this going in — high-profile director who's never backed down from his focus on such things, current socio/political climate, beautifully hued casting — but the results were wonderfully surprising. Not being a POC (person of color), I […]
