The King Returns In Black Panther #1 Preview

Marvel Comics has released a new full color preview of Black Panther #1, the new series from celebrated author Ta-Nehisi Coates and artist Brian Stelfreeze.

The preview was released on The Atlantic's website and was accompanied by an article from Coates describing his goals for the series and the challenges of writing for comics.

"Reading The Amazing Spider-Man comic books as a kid, I didn't just take in the hero's latest amazing feat;" Coates writes, "I wrestled seriously with his celebrated tagline—'With great power comes great responsibility.' Chris Claremont's The Uncanny X‑Men wasn't just about an ultracool band of rebels. That series sought to grapple with the role of minorities in society—both the inner power and the outward persecution that come with that status. And so it is (I hope) with Black Panther. The questions are what motivate the action. The questions, ultimately, are more necessary than the answers."
