Everett K. Ross as Mephisto? Positioning in Christopher Priest’s Black Panther

by Unknown's avatar

In the previous post, I wrote about the narrative point-of-view (pov) in Christopher Priest’s Black Panther (1998-2003). There, I discussed Priest’s comments about placing Everett K. Ross as the narrator of Black Panther and how that narrative position related to the work of Quentin Tarantino. Today, I want to look at a shift that occurs in issue #34, part one of “Gorilla Warfare.” Ross’ … Read More Everett K. Ross as Mephisto? Positioning in Christopher Priest’s Black Panther

Everett K. Ross “Emperor of Useless White Boys” in Christopher Priest’s Black Panther

by Unknown's avatar

Over the past few weeks, I have been working my way through Christopher Priest’s Black Panther (1998-2003). There are numerous aspects of Priest’s run that could, and should, be discussed; however, I want to focus on one aspect that I have been looking at in other works as well, the narrative point-of-view (pov). For Black Panther, Priest chose to convey the story from the … Read More Everett K. Ross “Emperor of Useless White Boys” in Christopher Priest’s Black Panther

Luke Cage, Stagolee, and the Importance of Myth

by Unknown's avatar

Mike Benson and Adam Glass’Luke Cage Noir (2009-2010) pulls from a Noir aesthetic full of femme fatales, double crosses, and private eyes all within Prohibition Era Harlem. The story turns Luke Cage into a Noir protagonist that struggles with life outside of prison, ultimately killing himself at the end of issue #4. It is Luke Cage’s death that struck me in this story, and … Read More Luke Cage, Stagolee, and the Importance of Myth

The Black Panther in The Past, The Present, and the Future in Jungle Action #22

by Unknown's avatar

For the past couple of posts, I have written about “The Panther vs. The Klan” story arc from Marvel’s Jungle Action series in the 1970s. Today, I want to finish up this discussion by looking at issue 22 where Jessica Lynne tells the story of Cousin Caleb’s encounters with the Klan and White Supremacy after the Civil War in 1867. Along with Jessica’s recollections … Read More The Black Panther in The Past, The Present, and the Future in Jungle Action #22

The Myth of America and The Black Panther in Jungle Action

by Unknown's avatar

Last post, I wrote about the scene that opens Jungle Action #20 where T’Challa, in full Black Panther costume, and Monica Lynne shop at a grocery store and get attacked but Klan members. The scene, while action packed, draws attention to T’Challa’s humanity and causes the reader to confront racial profiling and surveillance of black bodies by whites, Rebecca Winthrop, along with the rest … Read More The Myth of America and The Black Panther in Jungle Action
