People have been offering suggestions, but a true counterpart to Black Panther must be from a land untouched by slavery or colonization. DC does not have that. The closest they have is Attabar Teru. And Moore did not explain how those black people even got there--BUT I WANT TO EXPLAIN VERY BADLY.
What is DC's answer to Marvel's Black Panther?

1) It has none
2) It is Wonder Woman
3) It is Dhalua Strong

Editing tip: The form you want is "each other's," not "each others'." Sometimes people get tripped up because it feels plural. But the reflexive form is always "each other" (not "each others"), so the possessive form just adds "'s" like a regular noun. #AmEditing

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it.

Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.
Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

It's everywhere--prose, film, comics. It's how we get solemn pronouncements like "Our age of bronze is collapsing."
It’s about time we had a reckoning with the need so many writers feel to over-explain everything aspect of their stories, even in non Weird genres. Readers don’t need to be babied. Let us figure things out. Leave room for interpretation. Over-explanation makes writing worse.
Weird fiction seems to be having a moment but without lots of the people trying to write it actually grasping what it is.

I keep reading stories where there’s clearly an attempt at vaguely gesturing towards ‘the Weird’ but they just cant help over-explaining everything. Truly frustrating stuff.

I'm still looking for add multiple new projects to my schedule so that I can get back to paying the bills for my family. Please keep me in mind for any WFH or creator-owned projects. I can be requested via any editor at all of the main US publishers!
With 23 years of continuous work as a letterer, and over 30 years of print/production experience, I’m now unable to find any new lettering work in comics.
Please keep me in mind when staffing your creator-owned projects and please consider requesting me on your WFH projects 🙏

beyond the bigotry i find this to be a completely bizarre worldview. what do you mean that the actual material forces of history are immaterial to your ideas of national development? are you fucking stupid? (the answer is yes)
the context is this confnas fucker talking about how africa being poor & europe wealthy means whites must be innately more intelligent

(& dismissing any notion that the legacy of the atlantic slave trade, or global racial empire, might have a role as "mystical injustice")
