Marvel has announced that Black Panther #40 - a Secret Invasion tie-in - has sold out at the distributor level, and will be going back to press with a new cover featuring interior art by Jefte Palo.
With the Skrull invasion spilling over into all the Marvel titles, the invasion of Wakanda has enough readers sitting up to watch the action that Black Panther #39 sold out at the distributor level, prompting Marvel to go back to print with a new issue, featuring a variant cover by Jefte Palo.
Even if Matthew is not a big fan of all the Secret Invasion tie-ins, the complete Skrull invasion can’t be told without spilling into “a few” additional issues.
Marvel has sent Major Spoilers two sneak peeks that tie directly into Secret Invasion - Avengers: The Initiative #16 and Black Panther #40.
BET announced at its upfront presentation that it will bring Marvel’s Black Panther to the small screen as a primetime series. The animated series is expected to begin airing in the 2008-2009 television series.
Marvel has a time travel story for you.
What do you mean time travel stories mess with your head until you have a headache?
Take a couple pills and prepare for a jump to the Marvel Universe 2057 as Black Panther and Storm travel to future Wakanda to see what has become of the nation and their children.
Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the annual that arrives February 27, 2008.
Marvel Comics has provided us with a sneak peek at some of the titles arriving next week. This weekend Major Spoilers brings you Avengers: The Initiative 5, Black Panther 30, Fantastic Four 549, Silver Surfer: Requiem 4, World War Hulk: X-Men 3, and Stan Lee’s The Last Fantastic Four Story. I’ve taken a peek at the full issue of the Last Fantastic Four Story, and it isn’t half bad in a Stan Lee sort of way. It’s an interesting tale that doesn’t end like you might expect it.
On Wednesday you can expect a full review of the latest Initiative installment, but for now take the jump for a preview of things to come.
That is a possible fanboys. When pressed about his next project, John Singleton mentioned he’s attatched to direct big screen adaptations of Luke Cage and The Black Panther.
While there are several actors being considered for the part of the African Prince, in an interview with Reelz Channel, Singleton mentioned Chiwetel Ejiofor would be really good in the part.
So who would you rather see; Djimon Hounsou (left) or Chiwetel Ejiofor (right)?
Another haul this week as Marvel released sneak peeks for issues arriving in stores July 25, 2007. 19 issues are coming your way, so instead of having one massive sneak peek fest, we’re once again breaking the Marvel Sneak Peek of the Week into two parts.
Part 1 features Amazing Spider-Man #542, Black Panther #29, Cable/Deadpool #43, Fantastic Five #2, Heroes for Hire #12, and several World War Hulk tie-in issues.
Have you had your fill of Marvel Zombies yet? No, well you are in luck as the runaway brain eating sensation Marvel Zombies make yet another appearance in Black Panther #28. Marvel sends along a sneak peek of the gory goodness.
The first Fantastic Four adventure with the new team of Black Panther, Storm, Human Torch, and the Thing are in for a big surprise - zombies! The Marvel zombies are once again invading in Black Panther #27, and we have a five page preview with all the action. Groovy!
Or - “Turner Can Barely Draw Humans, Who Thought He Could Draw Ben Grimm?”
There have been a lot of interpretations of the Thing over the years, from Jack Kirby’s original lumpy monster, which then rocked up, and then Joe Sinnott drew the “separate eyebrow” Thing, and then John Byrne rounded him off and gave him a gorilla’s body. There’s a lot of precedent for making slight changes to the Thing. There is NO excuse, however, for drawing him with a separate steam-shovel jaw ala Robotman of the Doom Patrol, especially when the interior art isn’t going to represent it. The terrible art makes me wonder how he keeps the lower half of his face from falling off there, and that’s before we even look at the starvation physiques on Storm and The Human Torch. I know, I’m an art whiner, and it’s an old comic industry trick to have a pretty cover sell different interior art, but the fascination at the big two with the work of Michael Turner eludes me. His art feels like a less-talented Arthur Adams impersonator, and I fail to see why anyone would buy a book just to see it on the cover, especially when the interiors are more skillfully done…
Or - “When Is A Surprise Ending NOT A Surprise?”
There’s a theory that circulates around my comic shop about the Fantastic Four, that states that people misunderstand the roles of the members. Contrary to popular assumption, says our thesis, Sue is NOT the heart of the Fantastic Four. That’s Ben Grimm, the member most likely to respond on an emotional level. Likewise, Ben is not the steel in the FF’s backbone, it’s Sue that truly acts as the team’s fist, the spine that will not break, even when everything has gone to pot and a big purple fat guy wants to eat the whole planet. That’s what made her decision to walk during the events of Civil War so stunning, not merely that this woman left her husband and family, but that the central pillar that kept the FF upright was gone, leaving only a wishy-washy squishy Reed to babble and freak out and build horrific implements of torture for Darth Stark’s super-stormtroopers. So, since this is Major Spoilers, and we already know the fallout of this issue (Stephen previewed it months ago), how do we get there?
Black Panther and his bride Storm have jumped into Marvel’s Civil War, siding with Captain America and the Anti-Registration renegades. Now they are preparing for their greatest battle against the Thor Clone, or is it Clone Thor? Maybe it should be Bizzaro Thor? Meh. Still going to be one hell of a battle.
