Ta-Nehisi Coates talks everything that makes Black Panther cool

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Black Panther is having quite a moment. The Marvel Comics character is currently wowing audiences in Captain America: Civil War, providing both excellent action beats as well as some very interesting thematic elements to the story. And on the comics side of things, T’Challa is appearing in a brand new series by acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. Coates and artist Brian Stelfreeze have brought a brand new life to the King (and costumed protector) of Wakanda, but many people may not be aware of just who Black Panther is or why he’s so important.
