My To-Read pile is getting out of hand… Black Panther #8: Sigh. Hudlin totally let me down here. After defending the first four issues of his controversial reimagining of the Black Panther, he abruptly wrapped up his first arc without ever answering the primary question his story posed, “Who is the Black Panther?” Then, last
Comment: Larsen Backtracking?
So Erik Larsen managed to rile up the internet last week with his rant about comic book creators working on established characters for the Big Two instead of creating their own, ignorantly going with a slavery metaphor – But you stay shackled to that chain and pick that cotton and tell us all how “nice”
"Excuse me, but, we are learning something here."
