This November sees Oscar-winning screenwriter John Ridley teaming with Marvel’s Stormbreak artist Juann Cabal to launch the next chapter in T’Challa’s story with Black Panther #1.
“It’s a hybrid espionage-Super Hero thriller, but at its core, it’s a love story,” said Ridley of the new series. “And I don’t mean just romantic love, although there’s some of that as well. It’s love between friends. “We’re coming out of a summer where we saw Black people fighting for our rights, standing up, fighting in ways that we haven’t had to do in years. And it was really important to me after the year we had where we can have these conversations with Black people and we can use words like love and caring and hope and regret and all these really fundamental emotions that everybody has.”
