Marvel’s New Black Panther Comic Embraces the Movie In the Right Way

Marvel’s Fresh Start relaunch has brought about a number of big changes for popular heroes, but perhaps no hero’s world has changed as radically as Black Panther’s. The recent Black Panther #1 introduced a drastically different status quo, one where T’Challa finds himself a prisoner who breaks out to join an interstellar resistance force. Rarely has a comic kept the same writer and yet changed so drastically from one issue to the next. But this new status quo also seems to be just the change of pace Black Panther needed, as well as giving Marvel the chance to draw in some characters and elements from the movie that otherwise wouldn’t be possible.

IGN’s Running 10K for Special Effect 2018

I think we can all agree that video games are wicked, and should definitely be enjoyed by all.

That’s why four of us – myself, Joe Skrebels, Dale Driver, and Rory Powers here at IGN – are running 10K for the wonderful, unique charity that is SpecialEffect.

If you’d like to donate, click right here: IGN’s JustGiving Page!

If you’re not aware, it’s a charity that uses various forms of technology, from modified controllers to eye-motion sensors, to help people with physical disabilities play video games.

Please donate whatever you can to this incredible charity – IGN’s JustGiving Page – and in return we’ll physically humiliate ourselves for your enjoyment. (I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I wouldn’t describe any of us as natural athletes nor naturally adapted for the act of running, even small distances.)
