Black Panther Redux & Reduced

Marvel has just announced that the Black Panther will be replacing Daredevil in his comic. Instead of ruling Wakanda This BP will apparently haunting the alleys of Hells Kitchen.

I applaud Marvel for continuing to use BP, but they should stop. Stan Lee had a true vision of the character something that the folks currently running things clearly don’t have. Despite that he never had any real authority over the character Christopher Priest wrote the definitive BP. Despite editorial changes his writing and treatment of the character rose above whatever the character was involved in. Interestingly Priest even wrote the first hardcore street BP, so what we see in the Daredevil will again be something that Priest did first. Its simple Marvel, bring the man back

The Dollar Bin has given  possibly the best interview of Priest ever, where he talks at length (one Hour) about his run on BP click here for interview

Dustin Brown

No, he didn’t advance beyond the first round click here for more, but he is still changing the face of Tennis
Such a shame Brown is out. His debut look was a real hope- raiser: über-minimalism with only a last-minute, temporary sponsorship, Air Berlin patch to detract. The mismatched neon shoelaces are a clue as to Brown’s suppressed inner-stylist. Here’s hoping he makes a show court next year. from Guardian UK

Scream Blacula Scream

Sure it was over 30 years since Blacula was made, but to me he’s just too cool

When I wrote Night Biters I had to find a way to put  Blacula in the story because how can you do a story about  Black Vampires

and leave out the baddest cat with an overbite?

Monument to African Renaissance

Agree or disagree the Monument to African Renaissance, a 164-foot structure — about a foot taller than the Statue of Liberty — depicting the figures of a man, a woman and a child, arms outstretched, facing the Atlantic Ocean is breathtaking and a marvel, It is disturbing that a work of art of this scale  has received so little coverage , that said on with the controversy

“This renaissance statue is a powerful idea from a powerful mind,” said the Rev. Jesse Jackson in remarks to the crowd of hundreds waving flags at the foot of the lighted monument. “This is dedicated to the journey of our ancestors, enslaved but not slaves.
