On the flip side, one our strengths as black people is our empathy. And having limited representation in media for so long, (among other things), shaped us in a way where, even though we may not see ourselves physically in a character, we can still identify with their humanity.

Nothing makes a horror antagonist fall flat more than to have them making jokes and being whimsical about their deeds. Not every bad guy needs to act like Freddy or the Joker. I hate that. Thoughts? #horror #petpeeves #joker #scary #jokes #freddy

I saw an edited version with the bottom panels reversed. It would have been so much cooler and made more sense with Batman's character. Thoughts? #batman #comic #books #art #DC #DCcomics #Bane

I'm glad I decided to stick with reading Christoper Priest's Black Panther run. Vol 2 is even better than Vol 1. It's definitely of its time but it's a blast to read. Plus, those Sal Velluto covers are great! @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social #marvel #comics #blackpanther #the90s
