Man all these announcements are seriously making me want to pick up some marvel books. What's the best black panther story to start with?

A black panther is typically a melanistic color variant of any Panthera species. Black panthers in Asia and Africa are leopards (Panthera pardus). Black panthers in the Americas are black jaguars (Panthera onca).

i laughed too hard at this.

Either The Client or Who is The Next Black Panther

BP got his own ongoing series in 98, all written by Christopher Priest. He was a pretty boring/terrible character before that though. Priest at least made him respectable.

Just saw this news - 2017 is a hell of a wait, but it's finally going to happen.

Never heard of him before, but if he was chosen he'll be fine by then.

That concept art suit is perfect too.

The Marvel Knights series after that was pretty good too. I actually liked the 70's stuff too.
There have been a lot of Black Panther comics. It just never reached the big sales of the other Marvel franchises.

Before Priest he was pretty wack though.

His characterization in the Avengers was just forgettable.

Hopefully this movie will give the character proper respect (which it will I'm sure)

Does Evans even maintain all that mass between movies?

Nope. Hemsworth talked about it a bit and he said even during the last couple of weeks of shooting, when they are all in the costumes and stuff, they are already shedding a lot of mass, plus they don't keep it for their in between roles. They stay fit obviously, but did you see them during CC and stuff? Those things are pretty hard to maintain.

I know only have a surface level understanding of BP but I am glad this is going to happen.

That being said, I am legit dreading all the racists whining about a fictional super futuristic city in Africa. We'll be hearing this for the next couple of years.

There was some guy in the IGN comments saying that the marvel superheros looked flabby and out of shape

Which makes Stephen Amell even more impressive. He keeps that body all year round.

I'm almost more excited about these kinds of reactions than I am for the movie.

Not really, but ignorant stuff like that is still super entertaining.

I've been nerding out with friends all day about the MCU announcements today. It's a good day to be a Marvel fan.

Do those people go out into a jungle, meet a black panther and exclaim "WELL WHERE IS KKKAT?" before getting eaten?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Of course there was, dude. In addition, he looked rather stiff in those fights scenes, IMO.

Give one example. You can't.
EDIT: Actually there is some at the end, but not fight or stunt shots. Just Neo as matrix code stuff where the whole point is for it to look like CG.
