A Brief History of Marvel's Black Panther's Name

Gambar
Find out where Black Panther get his name from. One of the complaints from some moviegoers is that the movie Black Panther is based on the group known as the "Black Panther Party" which means he's a part of the controversial group. Is that true? Does the movie have anything to do with the militant revolutionary group? Black Panther is a fictional superhero appearing in Marvel comics starting in Fantastic Four #52 (1966). He was created by two legends in comic books. Two white guys named Stan Lee and Steve Ditko . In the comics, T’Challa is known by the ceremonial title Black Panther and is the leader and protector of the fictional African country of Wakanda. He and his people worship a panther god named Bast and he derives his power and guidance from Bast, the "panther god". That’s why he’s known as Black Panther.  But why in the world did Lee and Kirby call him Black Panther? Is Black Panther named after the 70s African-American civil rights group called the B...

Review: Batman #79 Reveals [SPOILER] Didn't Die and Where BatCat First Met

Gambar
Read this review to find out if Batman #79 is worth buying. If you want to avoid spoilers for this comic then skip to the overall section at the end. Warning: Spoilers for Batman #79. Recap: Batman #79 The comic begins with a flashback to Batman's first meeting with Catwoman "near the beginning". It then cuts to "Now" which is later revealed to be before Batman #77. So right off the bat, it's confusing. Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle are relaxing on a Hawaiian beach and talking about stopping the thief Margaret Pye aka Magpie from selling Bane's Venom in Gotham City. Batman is in his Matches Malone disguise complete with Magnum P.I. style Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and a Tom Selleck-style mustache. Then the comic goes back to their long-running discussion about where they met: on the street or the boat. Meanwhile, Selina is doing yoga (pilates?) on Bruce's back while he does one-handed pushups. I've never seen a more manly discussion in any comic book ...
