Ken Lashley made us believe that the Black Panther and Storm were not only Marvels premium power couple but that they would be together forever.















Not to mention what he did for Shuri.

STORYTELLER          ILLUSTRATOR

When it was announced that the Black Panther was going to have a new ongoing written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and illustrated by Brian Stelfreeze many enthusiasts thought we were going to get something really impactful... and we did. Commenting on just the artwork we witnessed an artist who was fully committed to not only adding something new to the Black Panther but to do such culturally.















He re-imagined the the very gods and goddesses of Wakanda as if divinely inspired by the deities themselves.





He gave the Black Panther and family some swag.





Stelfreeze even gave the Black Panther a new power.

Brian Stelfreeze...   nice with his!

Stelfreeze clearly distinguished the Black Panther intro/recap page. It was consistent through several BP titles most appropriately Rise of the Black Panther by Evan Narcisse.







Stelfreeze brought a vibrancy that truly enhanced the narrative.













Stelfreeze did an incredible job of presenting a unique Afrakan aesthetic to Black Panther one so strong it carried over and translated well in the feature solo. It would be interesting to see Stelfreeze's work under a different BP writer. I sometimes wondered if Stelfreeze was turned off by Coates writing of Black Panther and Wakanda?
