It took over half a century between the Black Panther’s first appearance (Fantastic Four July 1966) and the movie. In the meantime he has appeared in various comics as a guest star in Captain America, and became a member of the Avengers and later a member of the New Avengers in The Illuminati series. He […]

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles sees over 528,000 patient visits annually, and is the […]
The Flash’s 14th episode (“Subject 9”) was filled with feelings, but it was a bit clunky overall. The major source of tension is Izzy, a fiddle-playing country singer who Ralph cares for faster than I can decide what coffee to buy at Starbucks. It turns out her powers can hurt DeVoe, and Team Flash decides […]
Black Panther is an interesting hero. He is an official card-carrying member of the Avengers, but his primary loyalty lies with his own country, Wakanda. In addition to patriotism, it comes from a higher calling as king of his country. Wakanda has long abided by a policy of isolationism, choosing to hide away and keep […]

After 10 years of The Great Marvel Studios Experiment, director Ryan Coogler has managed to break all-new ground with BLACK PANTHER, which opens up the Marvel Cinematic Universe to a brand-new world of exciting new characters and concepts, and does so in its own singular style. It really is remarkable. In much the way that […]
As we count down to the release of the Black Panther movie, here’s another installment of T’Challa Rising, a four-part series of articles that looks back on landmark moments from Black Panther’s history.

Are you ready for BLACK PANTHER this weekend? I can’t remember the last time there was this much excitement for a new Marvel Studios film, maybe going all the way back to the premiere of THE AVENGERS. While I can’t wait to see what director Ryan Coogler has in store for us with the Panther’s […]
As we count down to the release of the Black Panther movie in just a couple of weeks, here’s another installment of T’Challa Rising, a four-part series of articles that looks back on landmark moments from Black Panther’s history. Last time, we kicked things off with our hero’s first appearance in Fantastic Four #52, which […]
The Flash’s 13th episode (“True Colors”) displayed the heart of a lot of the characters, ranging from Becky being kind and doing good to Ralph stepping up to multiple challenges to Amunet snarking her way through a series of plans gone awry. One of my favorite things had to be Killer Frost giving Ralph a […]
Supergirl’s 13th episode (“Both Sides Now”) had a lot of Jekyll and Hyde moments (Purity vs. Julia, Sam vs. Reign), peppered with humor and heart-wrenching moments. I’ve said it before, but Odette Annable is absolutely exquisite in the role, teetering on the edge, between fragile and fierce, shifting between terrorizing and feeling fear. The anguish […]
