I didn't know much about Black Panther and Wakanda before reading it. It was kind of a breath of fresh air for me into marvel comics universe. The artwork is fantastic. A lot of world building in this first Ta-Nehisi Coates civil war story arc, which made me feel completely immersed throughout the first four issues, unfortunely it never takes off from there, and that's because this is not your usual superhero book. Coates is a Black Panther Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet and has a hard time dealing with action, what we get here is a lot of thought-provoking dialogue between the characters, in a very political story, with loads of information on the Wakandan culture.

Have that in mind before picking this up and this could truly be something special for you if that's your thing that is. I'm fine with it, I even encourage it, but you gotta deliver some exciting action in a Marvel series and Coates failed to do that, and that is a must have in my book. All in all, Coates and Brian Stelfreeze were a very good combo and a fine addition to the Marvel universe, and the next story arcs are way more exciting than this one, so don't miss out. If Black Panther Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet plan on picking up Black Panther Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet series, I suggest you pick up this omnibus edition instead of the normal trade paperbacks, which fill in their volumes with a lot of completely unnecessary old issues. I'm sure this will save you up some money. Jun 05, James rated it liked it. I guess I can see and understand what some have said of this run. Yes it does move a little on the slow side and yes there is a lot of dialogue but I found myself still interested in the story and wanting to know how it would end. Plus the art was great. This is more of a political story. There were two factions, one who f 3. There were two factions, one who felt the people should rule the throne and the second group felt as no one man should have all the power. Coates does a good job building the world of Wakanda and the many characters that reside there and the art team does a great job with the visuals. It was nice watching the Black Panther deal with this and try to figure how to bring his counrty back together. For his first comic, not bad. However you can see how Coates is only getting better as his Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda and his Captain America show much improvement. Jan 04, Elizabeth added it Shelves: superheroessequential-artblack-panther. This is a book about wielding power. Not super-powers, but rather the power one wields over a people. There's a lot going on, so each bit only gets brief scenes which is probably what made it a bit difficult. And it takes a while to really get into the political thoughtfulness of T'Challa that Meyers hypes up. I loved the resolution of Shuri's spirit journey and her return thepowerofstoriesbut just when I was gonna declare her my favorite she articulates a warrior ethos that I couldn't entirely get behind. I recognize that the theory of rebellion clashes with practical reality, and the book wrestles with that a bit, but it had a bit of a foregone conclusion because T'Challa is the hero, and I felt a little cheated because I was really sympathetic to various elements of the rebellion and didn't feel like the book did enough to sell me on the Wakandan royalty's position. There is a fair amount of political examination that happens throughout the book, but the resolution felt a bit rushed. View 1 comment. Feb 11, Deatri King-Bey rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. Growing up, I absolutely loved comic books. I was and will always be a proud Tom Boy. Why I stopped reading comic books for pleasure is beyond me. Now that I think about it, I know why: joined the Army, got married, had children, went to college…. Life happened. More on that in a Black Panther Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet. Needless to say, the government in turmoil and his people struggling to survive. I appreciate the skill it takes to be a graphic artist. Black Panther Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet love, love, love the Black Panther series. I enjoy my monthly trip to the comic book store for each issue. View all 3 comments. Apr 09, Chris Lemmerman rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics-and-manga-read. In his first Black Panther Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet series for a hell of a long time, T'Challa battles threats from within and without as a Wakandan civil war threatens to destroy everything he's built and everything his country stands for. I tried to read this series in single issues when it was originally coming out, but I couldn't get past the first few issues. But having read Coates In his first ongoing series for a hell of a long time, T'Challa battles threats from within and without as a Wakandan civil war threatens to destroy everything he's built and everything his country stands for. Coates creates a political epic that is unlike anything else I've read at Marvel for a very long time. Coates askews typical superheroics in favour of political maneuvering that puts T'Challa and his motivations under the microscope right from the word 'go'. He makes the Black Panther fallible, and imperfect, and Black Panther Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet better for it. This care and character work extends to all of the characters that Coates ropes into the story. Shuri gets second billing and goes through a massive transformation, while Queen Mother Ramonda manages to play a huge role despite spending most of the 12 issues in a coma, and even the villains such as Zeke Stane and new characters Zenzi and Tetu are multi-layered and interesting. Their opposing viewpoints Black Panther Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet for great storytelling moments, and some issues are literally just characters debating, but Coates manages to make them interesting nonetheless. And he also manages all of this while keeping all of the Black Panther's recent continuity front and centre. The effects of Doomwar, Avengers Vs. X-Men, and Jonathan Hickman's Avengers epic all ring out through the entire series, and act as a catalyst and a justification all at once. It's just superbly well done. Black Panther, Vol. 1: A Nation Under Our Feet, Book 1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates T'Challa is the current King of the fictional nation of Wakanda and holds the ceremonial title of Black Panther, who is sworn to protect Wakanda from all threats.

    The Dora Milaje (pronounced “DOR-ah muh-LAH-jay,” and which means “Adored Ones”) are the personal bodyguards of the Black Panther and the royal family, recruited from every tribe of Wakanda. An ancient tradition originally designed to help keep the peace among the rival tribes, the Dora Milaje used to also be potential wives-in-training for the king, but that aspect has since fallen by the wayside. And now the time has come for the Dora Milaje to perhaps evolve even further… Ayo is a Dora Milaje initiate who is quickly rising up the ranks despite an initial personality clash with Captain Aneka. On the eve of Namor’s attack on Wakanda, Ayo achieved the rank of full Dora Milaje.

One warrior ingests a “heart- shaped herb” affected by the metal and gains superhuman abilities, becoming the first “Black Panther”. He unites all but the Jabari Tribe to form the nation of Wakanda. The Wakandans use the vibranium to develop advanced technology and isolate themselves from the world by posing as a Third World country. In 1992, King T’Chaka visits his brother N’Jobu, who is working undercover in Oakland, California. T’Chaka accuses N’Jobu of assisting black-market arms dealer Ulysses Klaue with stealing vibranium from Wakanda. N’Jobu’s partner reveals he is Zuri, another undercover Wakandan, and confirms T’Chaka’s suspicions. In the present day, following T’Chaka’s death,[N 1] his son T’Challa returns to Wakanda to assume the throne. He and Okoye, the leader of the Dora Milaje regiment, extract Nakia, T’Challa’s ex-lover, from an undercover assignment so she can attend his coronation ceremony with his mother Ramonda and younger sister Shuri.

  • Queen Phiona and Princess Shuri—Alternative Africana “Royalty” in Disney’S Royal Realm: an Intersectional Analysis
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Queen Phiona and Princess Shuri—Alternative Africana “Royalty” in Disney’s Royal Realm: An Intersectional Analysis Heather E. Harris Department of Business Communication, Stevenson University, 11200 Ted Herget Way, Owings Mills, MD 21117-6254, USA; [email protected] Received: 30 September 2018; Accepted: 15 October 2018; Published: 20 October 2018 Abstract: This paper explores the representations of two of Disney’s Africana royals, Phiona from the Queen of Katwe and Princess Shuri from Black Panther. Taking into consideration the pedagogical impact of media to reinforce ideologies of White supremacy and privilege, the depictions of these alternative royals in Disney’s royal realm are analyzed using intersectionality theory. The girls’ intersecting identities are juxtaposed with Collins’ matrix of domination concept. The analysis revealed that, while both Phiona and Shuri are challenged by the legacy of colonialization, capitalism, and globalization that constitute the matrix of domination, their approaches to these challenges are different as a result of the unique ways that their identities intersect. The author stresses that while it is commendable of Disney, and Hollywood, to allow for the affirming portrayals of these Africana girls on screen, the gesture is baseless unless a tipping point is reached where such films, and those depicting other non-dominant groups, become the norm rather than the exceptions. In other words, the challenge for those in the industry is not to resist the matrix of domination that stymies the creation of films that reflect the spectrum of the lived and fantastical experiences of Africana, and people of color; rather, the challenge is to dismantle it.

  • Black Panther"
    Lexus Releases Extended Version of Super Bowl Spot with Marvel Studios' "Black Panther" January 25, 2018 LOS ANGELES (Jan. 25, 2018) — As announced earlier this month, Lexus will once again be participating in advertising’s biggest day of the year with a commercial in Super Bowl LII on Sunday, February 4. Today, the brand has released a 60-second extended digital version of the ad, which was created in partnership with Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated film “Black Panther,” opening in U.S. theaters February 16. The spot, “Long Live the King,” pairs the flagship luxury performance sedan 2018 Lexus LS 500 F SPORT with the Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman, and can be viewed here. A 30-second version of the ad will air during the third quarter of the Super Bowl. The high-impact story in “Long Live the King” revolves around the character of T’Challa in his role as Black Panther recovering stolen vibranium, the mythical ore found only in the Black Panther’s home of Wakanda, and his nearly simultaneous need to represent his country as king at a world leadership conference. The Lexus LS 500 F SPORT is the only vehicle both powerful and luxurious enough to keep pace with a Super Hero and escort a king. With appearances by the country’s elite bodyguards, the Dora Milaje, and unexpected help from Wakanda, “Long Live the King” will engage fans of the Super Bowl and “Black Panther” alike. The Lexus LC 500 luxury performance coupe used in the film also has a cameo. “There is an authentic match between the duality of both the Black Panther and the LS.
