Apparently Black Panther is a white guy now

recently

He's been, rightfully, complaining about that shit for years. He already talked about how the only reason Prieststroke happend was because when DC was gearing up for Rebirth, they offered him Cyborg and he said no, that he wanted Deathstroke, and they apparently wanted him badly enough that they accepted.

That's gotta suck, being pigeonholed like that.

It would work better if it was set in Apartheid-era South Africa

Damn, didn't know, tought it was more recent, that fucking sucks.

Are you fucking kidding me, this the same negro who replaced Black Adam with a black teen doctor

I wish he got a chance to do Iron Man like he wanted

So is this an alternate universe version or a 616 Black Panther variant?

T'Challa's yakubian spawn

Middling runs to outright bad (Ridley) in recent years

Game cancelled

MCU hasn't recasted him despite Boseman's own family and friends saying it's what he would've wanted

Elaborate conspiracy that Marvel wants to bury T'Challa out of a misguided attempt at respecting Boseman (T'Chaka being in X-Men '97 for some reason)

Current Ultimate run is the least popular and likeliest to be cancelled first

Now Priest is doing this

I can't even find schadenfreude in this holy fucking shit

What book is this happening in exactly?

I can
Anyone got the gif of a whote guy dancing to african music?

Kek.

Marvel Knights print, so another universe. That is supposed to be another son of T'Challa, must have banged the whitest chic he could've find to bring that to life.

Priest you’re crazy for this one

whote

White* lol

So they figured the whitest dude like Nick Fury could have a fully black son, so T'Challa can have his own white son.

Now that's true diversity.

2nd issue's cover has him with a pregnant black woman
So T'Challa somehow had an European child with an african woman.

Comic twitter is so fucking mad they're declaring Hudlin the better writer now

In Marvel's defense (yeah I'm retarded), Nick Fury jr only exists cause Samuel L Jackson let them use his likeness for the character in the Ultimate universe. In this case "My black son" was a retcon cosigned by the retard himself: Tom Breevort.

As for the project’s specific origins, it all ties back to a certain movie.

“So, this was in 2017. The Black Panther movie was about to come out,” Priest said. “I called Will Moss at Marvel; he’s the Black Panther editor. So I reached out to Will and said, ‘Look, Will, there’s the movie coming out, I would like to do a Black Panther something. Just a little taste of Panther, you know.”

aiptcomics.com/2025/06/03/christopher-priest-on-returning-to-black-panther-and-teasing-the-world-to-come/

Oh...oh fuck we're not gonna make it out alive lol

Basically any tweets saying that are the obvious Shill/Sockpuppet Accounts

“I think when Reginald Hudlin came along, he sort of coalesced a lot of those ideas, bringing his own twisted sense of humor to it, and with John Romita Jr. and Reggie, when they got on the book, that’s when the book took off, commercially, I mean,” Priest said. “We never had the numbers. The numbers came with Reginald Hudlin, and Reginald is actually the unsung hero of Black Panther. There would be no Black Panther, in my opinion, if Reginald Hudlin hadn’t written it brilliantly and then gone out and sold it. Because Reggie went all over the world, got on every radio, TV show, podcast, you know, tribal hut, he sat in the tribal council. Everywhere he could go.”

Priest added, “I did my part, but Black Panther has a lot of dads. Not the least of which of course is Ta-Nehisi and Brian Stelfreeze (who is not mentioned nearly enough). A lot of what you see in the motion picture is derivative of Brian Stelfreeze. There’s a lot of Brian on that screen. And nobody ever talks about Brian, and that’s a little irritating, and I’m guilty of that.”

Priest makes a vivid analogy of what it’s like to be in the Marvel universe and find yourself toe to toe with Black Panther.

“He’s a car salesman,” Priest said. “You can’t beat those people. Capital letters. If you’ve ever bought a car, don’t waste your time. All you can do is go and be as nice as possible, be humble, take your spanking like a man, get the keys, and get the hell out of there. That’s what Black Panther is.”

Priest follows it up with a summary of T’Challa’s priorities — Black Panther is about being a leader to his people, regardless of the cost.

“People keep thinking because he’s wearing his costume that he’s a hero, or that he’s somehow noble or even a moral leader,” Priest said. “He’s none of those things. He’s the sovereign of a nation. That responsibility is the only thing he cares about. And Black Panther’s always doing like, terrible things behind people’s backs. Because that’s the nature. He’s a sneaky guy. And he’s always stayed at least five steps ahead of his enemies.”

With Priest and Quesada at the helm, Black Panther’s future looks to be equal parts exciting and ominous. But what about Priest’s future? Never one for idle hands, Priest plugs all the different projects he’s been doing while Marvel Knights awaits shipping. One of them is Red Sonja from Dynamite. He addressed the complicated nature of writing something with an upcoming live-action adaptation. Given Priest’s sizable contribution to the Black Panther mythos, it’s no surprise that everyone’s favorite redhead would get a similar makeover.

“There’s a movie in the works, and here comes Priest, kicking over everything you know about Red Sonja. If you like Quantum and Woody, if you like Black Panther, if you like stuff that had that kind of twisted Priest humor, then you’ll like Red Sonja,” Priest said. “But Red Sonja purists, people who just want Red Sonja straight no chaser, and they take their sword and sorcery absolutely seriously, I can see those letters now.”

Priest also teases an OGN called Babylon from Humanoids, his ongoing Vampirella series from Dynamite, and one other thing that he’s excited for people to read.

“I have a Skybound book that will probably be dropping first quarter 2026 called Commissioned,” Priest said. “It’s incredibly controversial. Commissioned will definitely get me canceled. It kind of spoofs the industry itself in a lot of ways. So look forward to that.”

I can tell how new you are because Priest is infamous about complaining how he's always considered the black character writer for decades now

Damn man imagine getting so aggressively pigeonhole'd into writing black or majority black characters to the point you give arguably the Blackest mainstream superhero a white kid who looks so white he's in anime stereotypical westerner territory, in protest
Honestly I kind of confused how they greenlit it, don't Marvel, you know, have to review the comic's work copy or something before approving it? Or it getting push back even earlier in development? Were they afraid of bad publicity in telling a Black writer no or something?

I used to completely ignore all black-made work desu

God's sakes I know Boseman's death caused a bit of an upset in higher echelons of Marvel but trying to retire Black Panther period over it is absurd. What the fuck are they thinking, and does it involve coke?

Enjoy it because it's gonna be like this for the next 15 years. Get ready for slurs and homophobia to make a comeback bigger than the 50s.

Based Malik White giving Mary Marvel creampies

Marvel need an original idea instead of rehashing an old thing.

They're saying this in response to Priest's interview

that was rare with comic fans before Anon Babble really brainrotted people, so I still figure you're pretty new/young.

If the fags over twitter hate it without reading it, I'm the opposite.

Eh it was involuntary, i only realized i did it when the culture war stuff really got going.

Cool. I'm still not reading it, but I'm sure there's a lot of seething on bluesky.

When is Bluesky NOT seething?

I dunno, when they're fapping to porn I guess?

i'd be pissed about that too, "sorry, we can't give you a batman run, you're needed for the black guys."

I only use it to follow some Japanese artists

He’s a car salesman,” Priest said. “You can’t beat those people

How to admit you can't haggle.

They should make an Asian into Black Panther.

Even the price you haggle is the price they're fine with. If they sell the haggled price, they also win because they choose to sell it at that price.

Doesn't Priest actually despise Black Panther after his run with the character?

Yes? Fuck normalfags. Maybe I will respect them when they start buying literal slop (Iphone 29412 "new" version")

I got him down to sticker price!

I think it's kayfabe
He just hates how it pigeon holed him as a writer, not that he hates the character aside from thinking T'Challa shouldn't be perfectly morally clean

Is it the White Wolf, or have they done that already?

i dont own a car, i just like to go in there and lose my shit so i can pretend like they can't swindle me. i don't know what any of this is supposed to cost.

Chuds are bar none, the most obnoxious people on earth and it's a blessing they'll be drafted to die in WW3 soon

bar none

The LGBT. Community.

i was trying to look up black panther on blue sky
first thing i see is bara black panther model from marvel rivals fucking bara magneto

really selling bluesky to me anon

and he didn't mind making an OC in his Deathstroke run that was basically Black Panther (in design)

You mean the one that was an unapologetically evil warlord?

Were they afraid of bad publicity in telling a Black writer no or something?

Considering they let Coates stay around as long as he did? Probably

but the right has lost every election around the world since trump won the

The LGBT community =/= LGBT individuals but I guess you don't know that, since all of your opinions are copy/pasted from Anon Babble and youtubers

A community is made up of individuals.

Yakubian space magic

Do you tell yourself that when you bomb hospitals or children? It makes you feel better at night, yes?

Posts factual, neutral statement about communities being comprised of individuals.

Psychopathic anon immediately jumps to wild accusations about the poster.

Fascinating.

This is what happens when twitter freaks throw a fit whenever a black character is written by, or voiced by, a white guy: black guys in the industry get pigeonholed.

You don't hate normalfags?

T'challa's white son

...did he knockup a named character or is it just some random white woman also lmao BP Twitter is having a melty at the idea of him having a white son

The prevailing theory is that the son is from his girlfriend back in college and on/off in Priest's run

The hair makes me think Ross, and he was also fucking her iirc so it could be like a double life debt thing

my crippling daddy issues, look at them

no seriously bring me up to speed on your daddy beating the shit out of you as a child, Jim Owsley

The black characters that don't make any money, I absolutely get it

It's a Knights book, I assume they're allowing it because it's not the main title

There's still Hickman writing him for Imperial

Slippery slope. He'll be in the main title within a few years. Marvel letting this through means they've already set the precedent so they can't say no.

It's Monica Lynne.

Yes, I literally think this when I literally push the bomb the hospital button, fuck orphans

Now

Another anon admits to the made-up crimes that the psychopath anon accused an entirely different anon of committing.

Even more fascinating.

Monica's in the book too

Fuck misread it, isnt the white kid the one from his college gf?

He’s not white he’s just fucking light skin like Steph Curry or Drake

he's not white he just has light hair and blue eyes and european features

went and looked in the Black Panther >subreddit and man, those niggas are racist as fuck.

What'd they say?

This is how we ended up with his U.S. agent run. It was the closest he could get cap.

angry at Priest

calling this a waste and a disappointment

saying they're being robbed of their icons

saying that Priest loves white people and that's why he's doing this

also unrelated but for some reason they're still holding onto Black Panther and Storm being a thing in 2025

oh also

trying to claim like this is similar to Falcon taking over Captain America yet there is no "fake outrage"

this is similar to Falcon taking over Captain America

they were in favor of that, right? so they must be in favor of this too, right?

Tbd I sorta get it as pointed out Tchalla is absolutely in the fucking gutter and Marvel keep pushing him deeper and deeper so I guess they thought this book would be something different only for it to dig that knife deeper

I like his USAgent book fro ma few years back.

they're still holding onto Black Panther and Storm being a thing in 2025

Ultimate is pushing it right now, isn't it? I'll be fucked if I actually read that book.

Isnt there plenty of outrage tho?

The game apparently wasn't even gonna have T'Challa be playable lol

Im fine with holding to ships, im a peter/mj guy still, but BP/Storm just isnt very compelling.

Its always Pantherfags that like that ship isnt it?

What? The posts I saw said you could be either T'Challa, Shuri, or Killmonger, and they'd all be fighting for the throne.
Irrelevant either way, because the game never left preproduction after four years due to the devs having a terminal case of niggaitis, lol.

Anon Babble is officially more normie than reddit and xitter

Well if the rumblings are to be believed Storm is also going to be revealed to be dead

She seems to be his ex there, and the dig at the marriage isnt subtle.

yeah, most Stormfags ive seen are pro-Logan

according to leaks you we're gonna play as T'Challa's son fighting against Skrulls.

i read it
it's the blandest shit ever and it ended a 10 issue buildup with the weakest fight possible.

She is. It's stated that she died in the Race War. No explanation on that, I'm assuming it'll end up being a mutant thing.
