"Most comics don’t generate that much buzz, but then again, most comics aren’t written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, a national correspondent for The Atlantic and the best-selling author of “Between the World and Me,” which won the National Book Award
last year. One of the most celebrated authors about race in America
writing about a black superhero who has pummeled Captain America and
members of the Ku Klux Klan? The collective response from fans of comics
and Mr. Coates alike: I’d read that.
The book arrives during the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther,
who first appeared in issue No. 52 of the Fantastic Four (and yes, he
beat them up, too). Next month, the superhero will make his big-screen
debut in Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War,” with Chadwick Boseman"
Check out the story in the New York Times and definitely pick up a copy of Black Panther when it hits the stands.
