My only exposure to him was his one speaking role on JLU and the Starro arc of JLA from the comics
Wait, the hell? Ugh, even assuming that means in terms pirated copies that are a week ahead because people leak them (because I'd think Weekly Shonen Jump would mention that in their next issue section) and I thus have 2 issues to read before it ends, that means the series is ending on a damn underdone final fight. As in, that may make this the worst "finale" fight in the series, even weaker then the end of the Fullbring stuff. Like, I figured that
Aizen pulling a switch for Ichigo to land a hit
Oh well, getting started on Deadly Class now for the first time, so that should be good at least.

Man, I had to buy Detective Comics today. I missed it when I was grabbing my books from CMX yesterday. The logo change is throwing me off.

I just noticed Telltale's Batman is rated M. Interesting.
Holy shit. lol
This is like pure genius and ultimate cynicism all wrapped up in one.

The latest issue of Archie was freaking amazing, it's incredible how much quality it continues to deliver. Those last two pages pack so many details into the
relationship.
Such a good book
Archie/Betty
Archie admitting he's a screw up
Betty blaming his clumsiness on Veronica, although we know he's always been this way
Archie once again being shitty to Betty by telling her that he likes Veronica because she knows who she is, reminding her that her trying to fit in was somehow wrong. Archie's a jerk for this.
Other great moments, Jughead stealing a fry, and poor Sayid in the background when Betty is telling Archie to "fix this"

What are you doing, Lunchpod? It was bad enough when you were peddling Valiant books non-stop. Now you're selling us things from one-off publishers no one has ever heard of?

I'm astounded that series is still going. When all of Marvel's good books are ash and dust and forgot, there will still be a Zombie Tramp comic.

All I can think of is this.
Pretty much the perfect exampleAll I can think of is this.
Hmm...pumped for the creative team, but I don't know if a long winded conversation between Amanda Waller and the president is the best way to start a Suicide Squad run.
Nice! Some great stuff there.
He has really impressed me. Detective is beyond solid.

still kinda miffed that the only retail-exclusive variant cover my LCS has had is a Zombie Tramp cover that Jamal Igle did
(it's owned & operated by deaf dudes)
couldn't it have been... any other comic
Ok let me tell you how this guy took BP to an higher level than anyone else before. This is not the BP we come to know and love. This is a battered King who has lost almost everything he has cared about, and is trying to get it back.I am conflicted because I am used to BP rekting fools, and delivering chilling lines. Not BP being humbled every issue, but somehow Coates made me love this BP too
Black Panther #3
Coates-
Hands down this issue right here is what made me a believer of Coates. The writing was honestly on part if not better than Vision. The symbolism, the way the words flowed like poetry, and the different goals of the people of Wakanda...like by the end of the book
almost teared up.
Art/Colorist-
-Stelfreeze and Laura Martin did an outstanding job on the art and colors this issue. Now I know why this issue was delayed. BP art was always solid but they took it up a notch.
Summary-
T'challa and
have it rough both finding themselves one in the living and the other in the
right now we have several factions trying to do what they think is best for their Home. This is how you do inner fighting. Dora Milaje wanting justice for their people, BP trying to restore his former reign, and then Tetu/zenzi wanting a revolution.
5/5 one of the most powerful Marvel issues I have ever read.
Black Panther #4
Speechless! Queen Ramonda Delivered the biggest words of wisdom ever.
Had to stop right there and reflect on T'challa's journey, and realized the queen was right.
Also those last couple of pages were chilling and was basically a better version of Superman in the court room.
Prepare for war! both sides are about to go the extreme.
Coates has delivered an amazing reading experience that has numerous layers. This is one of those books that makes you sit and think life. One of those books that make you look out for your brother and sisters. Listen I won't outright say this is better than vision because that wouldn't be fair but I can safely say it is on par with the best books in the market.
5/5 Coates has proved he can hang with the best writers. Bring on the second arc

T'challa saw being the king and protecting his people as a burden. He always had one foot in the door, never fully committed to Wakanda like everyone else has. He doesn't see it as an honor but as an burden. Like damn The queen made me stop reading and think for a hot minute
Also those last couple of pages were chilling and was basically a better version of Superman in the court room.
terrorist bombing was crazy, and you know Black Panther won't tolerate his mother being injured

The only thing I was't quite a fan of was his theme music with the flutes. It was a little too on the nose, otherwise he stole the show. Comic book fans will always be the hardest to please.
Coogler is actually a huge fan of Black Panther by Coates

don't get me wrong, Vision is better, but I can only say that atm because BP just hit #4 while Vision is nearing the home plate.

If I read Black Panther...does it come with silver My Nintendo coins so I can get this Zelda Picross?
Black Panther is maybe? the smartest book running right now. Like, the stuff it's dealing with, the way it uses its characters to talk about way bigger things, like the nature of states and nations, and where people fit in that. Power and all those things. There's a continuity with the rest of Coates' work in a way, and not only is that dope as hell, it's also maybe the smartest decision Marvel have made in the All-New All-Different Era.

Probably no coins, then.

What about that Reginald Hudlin fanbase?
You said better than I could.
BP does so many things and does them in such a natural way that it doesn't hinder the flow of the book.
I thought Nintendo ended the whole coin/reward thing

Even though it's more complicated, you get better stuff easier.
I had a year off Nintendo stuff because I had to sell a ton of stuff last summer for an emergency car repair, including my Wii U and 3DS. I only just now got a 2DS again recently, and got some digital games with a $50 eShop card. Spending that much got me two Virtual Console games free, and I still have points left over that have me close to a third.
Then there's a different kind of coin that you get for logging into their various sites once a week and staying signed up for promo emails. With those coins, I'll be able to get that Zelda Picross game in two weeks.
You can also get coins from playing that Miitomo thing on your phone, but it's so incredibly bad that no one should ever do that.
I wish there was a rewards program for digital comics.
