Marvels Black Panther Has Been Fighting White Supremacists For Decades and Hes Not About To Stop. Black Panther The Crew became one of Marvels most important comics the moment the series first went to print. But given the recent public displays of hatred and terrorism here in the US from self identified white supremacists, this weeks issue of the series is a particularly timely piece of required reading. Much like Christopher Priests original Crew from 2. Ta Nehisi Coates and Yona Harveys Black Panther The Crew has been something of a slow burn compared to most other comic books. While the series is about the titular Crew investigating the death of a black activist being held in police custody, there is also a larger story at work about the history of black heroes both powered and normal fighting to protect their communities from those who would see them crumble. As TChalla, Misty Knight, Luke Cage, Storm, and Manifold have inched closer to figuring out just how activist Ezra Miller died, Black Panther The Crew has also spent a fair amount of time fleshing out the connections each character had to him while he was alive, and how Harlem is the thing that binds them all together. Though most of the series is set in the present, BP TC also features a number of flashbacks to Ezras days as a younger revolutionary, when he himself teamed up with other black capes to root out crime and corruption in the city. Over the years he would come to understand that the process of trying to resist and dismantle fascistic power structures sometimes leads to moments where one must take an honest look at their allies and question their motives. Together, Ezra and his crew did good work to oust organized crime as part of Harlems Crusade. But in time, as they came into prominence and a newfound kind of power, his teammates would come to see his morality as obstacle standing in the way. In losing his chosen family, Ezra was forced to accept that people he thought he knew were, perhaps, not on the level with him. But at the same time, he remained keenly aware of the fact that, in spite of their ultimate betrayal, hed been stronger as a force for justice and social change when he had a crew to back him up. This is an idea that he would later impress upon Manifold, an Australian mutant with the ability to generate circular portals through space and time. Manifold, whos been an Avenger, would eventually find a new home for himself in Harlem. Batman Arkham Asylum is a 2009 actionadventure video game based on the DC Comics superhero Batman.
