Marvel Entertainment has officially unleashed the launch of a new Black Panther comic book series, and the first storyline of the book is written by the American writer, journalist, and educator - Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Aside from the fact, that Ta-Nehisi Coates is an award-winning author, Coates is also currently the national correspondent for The Atlantic and author of the memoir Between the World and Me - which is being publicly acclaimed.
Ta-Nehisi Coates told The New York Times that Marvel Entertainment was "an intimate part of my childhood and, at this point, part of my adulthood." Ta-Nehisi Coates said that his significant childhood influences were Storm, Monica Rambeau and James Rhodes also known as the War Machine.
Ta-Nehisi Coates stated, "I'm confident it meant something to see people who looked like me in comic books," Ta-Nehisi Coates also said, "It was this attractive spot that I felt pop culture should look like."
The Black Panther storyline of Ta-Nehisi Coates - "A Nation Under Our Feet," will feature T'Challa, the Black Panther, who will face an act of resistance in his kingdom of Wakanda initiated by a superhuman terrorist organization called the People.
Artist Brian Stelfreeze is responsible for the illustration chores for the Black Panther storyline of Ta-Nehisi Coates.
In addition, Ta-Nehisi Coates was the winner of the Hillman Prize for Opinion and Analysis Journalism, the writer is famously known as one of the leading American writers on race. Coates received warm admiration in September 2012's "Fear of a Black President" and June 2014's "The Case for Reparations."
Ta-Nehisi Coates' works were also featured in the Washington Post and The New York Times. He is currently working at the City University of New York's journalist-in-residence and will unfold a television scheme on the U.S. civil rights movement for HBO with David Simon.
Black Panther comic book series is slated to launch in 2016 - close to the movie debut of the Black Panther character in next year's Captain America: Civil War.
