Doing an entire comic book in the dark would be totally awesome, but it’ll be hell on the printers.

“What The — ?!” had a couple of teaser panels that were along those lines. One was a silent fight taking place between Black Panther, Cloak, and others at night. The other was Wendigo, Yeti, and others fighting in a soundless snowstorm.

In other words, a panel of solid black, and a panel of solid white.

I remember that one! Pretty sure Moon Knight and Dagger were in the snowstorm fight.

Now what if the Beast, the Blue Beetle, the Tick, Blue Lightning Superman, and the Fantastic Four (in the costumes they had when I was a kid) all had a fight underwater?

The “assistant editors’ month” issue of “Alpha Flight” saw John Byrne take the Snowbird vs. Wendigo gag and make an entire issue out of it. All white panels with dialogue and sound effects. Brilliant.

TECHnically it was Snowbird vs. Kolomaq, one of the Great Beasts, not Wendigo. I had to go check on comicvine because I remembered that issue.

“So Black Panther: The Man Without Fear may have a really terrible title”

Well they’re changing it to Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive in a few months. Not sure if that’s any better though.

I don’t know, I kind of like the goofy subtitles. They should really just go ahead and embrace it, though.

“T’Challa versus Hitler” is enough to make me have to pick up this book, like yesterday.

BP got the book when Daredevil disappeared off into the desert at the end of Shadowland, basically.

And yeah, the book rocks. Francovilla is a FANTASTIC artist.

Wait, Black Panther is good again? I lost track of the title after Christopher Priest left.

It was horrible under Reginald Hudlin, one of Quesadas’ buddies, who turned it into his warped continuity ignoring garbagefest. Hudlins’ apprentice Jonathan Maybery picked up where he left off, but the new status is rather good.

I can’t particularly speak to the Panther without fear here, but on Daredevil himself, I’ve got say that his relaunched title is the most fun DD’s been in years.

Black Panther: And His Band of Merry Men
Black Panther: Man, or Astro-Man?
Black Panther: The Man of La Mancha
Black Panther: The Man of Wealth and Taste

You know, these would make good titles for the individual volumes in Trade format.

There is a more obvious one, even if the actor wants to be Luke Cage instead.

Wait, Black Panther is prowling the urban streets at night, kicking knives out of thugs hands? Doesn’t he have, you know, a nation to rule?

We need something that will bring people back to the series so clearly the comic needs to be called …

Black Panther: The Panther Man Can
Black Panther: Fear of a Panther Planet
Black Panther: Aren’t All Panther’s Black?
Black Panther: Foreign Head of State Committing Vigilante Acts On US Soil
Black Panther: Big Man On Campus

I’ve actually always wondered why Daredevil is the official Man Without Fear, given his particular set of powers.

Nope. He abdicated at the end of the Doomwar miniseries.

I always figured Daredevil was the official Man Without Fear because OTHER superheroes can actually see where they’re going, the pussies. To do this shit blind, well, that takes balls.

Ah, but Daredevil is only almost blind. Spider-Man can experience the same effect by squinting hard. 😉
