Day 12: #heroes #marchintothe70s

"Black Panther is the ancestral ceremonial title of T'Challa, the king of Wakanda. T'Challa splits his time between protecting his kingdom, with the aid of his elite female royal guard, the Dora Milaje, and helping protect the entire world..."

I had no knowledge of Black Panther‘s story prior to reading this book. I was very confused through the first two issues over who the players were and their relationships to each other. The volume is mainly background information without a plan going forward. I have Vol. 2 and I think I should read it straight away so as not to forget what I‘ve just learned!

Happy new #comics day! I couldn't get my comics yesterday because the delivery truck for the store broke down. 😩

From the big 2:

Black Panther starts his new series this week.

Invincible Ironman hits landmark 600th issue!

Old Man Hawkeye with a sweet ass cover!

Star Wars Last Jedi movie adaptation.

Terrifics continues to be...terrific.

The hunt for Wolverine continues with Mystery in Madipoor.

Starting my tenth task: A comic written or illustrated by a person of color. #readharder #readharder2018 #bookriot

“You‘re a good man with a good heart. And it‘s hard for a good man to be a king”

I love this. Immediately bought the rest of the run and some of the World of Wakanda run.
#wakandaforever 🖤🖤🖤

Day 5 of #riotgrams is #Royalty. Nothing but respect for this king.

I'm not sure this is a great place to start for a person (like myself) who is new to Black Panther as a character. The artwork is excellent, and I really enjoyed the writing, though it was not what I expected after reading more light-hearted titles, like Ms Marvel. I spent a lot of time trying to piece together what was happening, and I feel like I still missed some chunks. I was certainly invested by the end and will definitely continue reading.

Something villainous going on... 😳

Going with broken-hearted on this one. Also reminds me of how I've felt for the last year...

And here is your moment of zen.... before more ass-kicking!

Got some badassery going here!

Tickets are available now and I am too ready! I will be there opening night! I am so excited! The cast is amazing and this looks like it is going to be everydamnthing!!!! (Insert panther emoji here) ✊🏽

Today's author spotlight: Ta Nehisi Coates! The 42-year-old Baltimore native and Howard University graduate has been a journalist for The Atlantic, The Village Voice, and Time, and has won the George Polk Award, MacArthur Fellows Genius Grant, and National Book Award for Nonfiction. He is currently heading the Marvel Comics revamp of The Black Panther. His first name taken from an Ancient Egyptian region, Nubia. #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow

Is it irony or incredible foresight that I started reading Black Panther the same day the movie trailer comes out?

I'm not sure about #perfectillusion - this is probably more a #purrfectillusion . How cute is this guy? My daughter recently referred to him as the 'marshmallow of death'. You wouldn't believe the puncture wounds I recently received from him trying to steal my dinner and then overbalancing!

#augustgrrrls

Today I decided to #travel to Wakanda and visit with the Black Panther. Great #graphicnovel with phenomenal artwork and a marvelous storyteller. Love the flashback to his beginnings with the Fantastic Four as well.

Lunch reading bc I'm really looking forward to the film!

Black Panther and Let's Plays. Definitely a good combo

Overall a pick for me. Fair warning that the story is kind of (okay, really) confusing a lot of the time if you're a new Black Panther reader like me but I dig Coates's writing style and the artwork is lush and amazing. I'll probably pursue the rest of the series at some point but I won't be in a rush.

I've been in my hometown all weekend celebrating my sister's college graduation with food, family, pool time, food, friends, and more food 😋

Now that I'm back in my own apartment, I'm decompressing a bit with this #comic that's been sitting on my shelf for a while. The new movie trailer looks amazing, can't wait for that!

#libraryhaul 😍😍

The trailer for the film is out and holy crap does it look good?!

Amazing artwork! A-MA-ZING! I don't know the history of the comic and that felt like a bit of a hinderance in reading this incarnation of the story. Coates is a fantastic writer and made this interesting for me. There is a Fantastic Four comic at the end of this volume that features Black Panther and that was the only thing keeping from finishing this sooner. I recommend this and I'll be looking at the next volume.

Just finished this at pick-up. I have to admit, I was confused a bit of the time but kept with it and really enjoyed it. The graphics are beautiful and I'm hoping the second volume will bring more clarity for me.

Next up in my #readathon: Rereading Black Panther! How is hour two treating everyone?

I can't help myself. Sunday library haul. Three books of poetry this time. #readallthebooks #librarylove

So I think if you say, woah I really like Marvel comics, I'm excited that Ta-Nehisi Coates is interpreting Black Panther you might get more out of this than me who said, hmm, I need to do a #marchmadness replacement for Between the World and Me, let me try Black Panther. I'm still making this a pick because I think if I make my husband read it he can make it make a little more sense for me. @JenP

I actually bailed on this after the first two of five comics. I'm just not a huge comics reader, and this jumps you in without much context. Maybe I'll pick it up again in the future, if I start reading more comics.

Baby panther #Moonshine wanted me to pet him instead of finishing Volume 1. 😄

I've wanted to read this since the series started, but I'm just now diving in. There's 🔮mysticism, 💥battles, and 🕶 political intrigue. And the 🏔 scenery is gorgeous!

It was easy to get a little confused since I'm not too familiar with the character or his story, but revolution seems like a fairly good point to jump in.

Fulfills my B in #ComicsAtoZ. #LitsyAtoZ

Nothing says Valentine's Day like graphic novels! Seriously, two of these on the list, Paper Girls and Saga, came from Litsy recommendations. So, thank you! PS- BnN 10% off whole order on top of 10% off turned this $70+ pile to under $50!

#riotgrams this is next up in comics for me.

I'm not the biggest #comics fan, but I do love Ta-Nehisi Coates so I'm enjoying his Black Panther series. I love the subscription feature on Marvel's app too. I don't have to worry about missing an issue. #riotgrams

My first graphic novel/comic book.

This gift from my son just made it to the top of the stack. Reading this tonight.

I enjoy Coates's journalism and I was excited that he was the writer behind the newest incarnation of Black Panther. So far, I am intrigued by where the series is going and the political infighting in the series hits close to home. If you're familiar with the first incarnation of BP in the Fantastic Four comics of the 60s, this tale reads likes a vindication of the character and doesn't devalue his African-ness. Very well done!

I've rediscovered readings comic books through e-readers. My iPad is my comic books library. This is the latest acquisition. But you can find these days Poe Dameron, Harley Quinn and the DC Bombshells. I'm on my fourth Kindle, Two I've gifted away two I use with different books in them. I love both paper and e-reader. i just love readind. #seasonsreadings2016 #ereader

Deal Deal Deal. 🎉🎊👏

I was really looking forward to this but found it pretty hard to follow. I'm giving this volume a so-so rather than pan because I'm hoping this volume is setting all of the foundation stuff & that future volumes will be better, so I'm not giving up on the series yet.

This is my first solo Black Panther besides Marvel:Civil War. It was kind of hard to follow but for Ta-Nehisi Coates I'll continue! Plus the art is to die fot

YAAAAS (I told y'all to be ready it was going to be a wild night)
