With the prince of
Wakanda having his introduction in Marvel's
Captain America: Civil War the character of
Black Panther has grown immensely in popularity over the year, and it seems that fame out of his MCU venture is paying off. Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing the current Black Panther comic books series, and the first issue,
Black Panther #1, has already sold 253, 259 issues in it's first month. That's crazy!
In addition to excellent sales, the comic has amazing reviews.
Ta-Nehisi Coates writing for Marvel's first mainstream african-black hero is obviously cool as hell. Coates is known for being a correspondent for
The Atlantic. He has also written a beautiful memoir entitled
The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons, And An Unlikely Road To Manhood plus he has written
Between The World And Me. Which won him the National Book Award for Non-Fiction.
The book focuses on T'Challa's struggles to fairly rule and care for his homeland of
Wakanda. It's great, pick it up. Not only that, but the character is having a great year; as Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of the character was well received and his first solo comic for the year has sold amazingly. While it didn't broke any major record, it still is a big feat for a character that wasn't a B or A lister. The
Black Panther movie is gonna be awesome.
Captain America: Civil War is currently in theaters.
