I tell you, once you open the flood gates and let someone post their take on a viral campaign, the comedians start coming out of the woodwork.  Salieri sent in his take on Marvel’s campaign featuring the one and only Mr. T.

What better way to wrap up the year, than with some free comic book reading. Fans of Black Panther, who are concerned about his fall during the Secret Invasion, can read his life’s story in the Black Panther Saga – for free!  All this thanks to Marvel’s DCU (that’s Digital Comics Unlimited for those who are confused), which you can check out here.

New Black Panther Looks Hot

Who’s under the mask?  There’s a new Black Panther in town, and she’s smokin’ hot.  In an interview with the Washington Post, both Joe Quesada and Reginal Hudlin were mum on the new player in T’Challa.

The news, of course, is sure to spark controversy among fans — not unlike when Captain America began packing heat this year. How will Hudlin react to that?

“Honestly, my entire run on the series has been controversial. Which is great,” he says. “All the writers I admire are hotly debated online, and I feel like I’m always in great company in that situation. But more importantly, it means that people care about the book.”

Anyone want to take bets on if it is the X-(wo)Man formerly known as Storm? We’ll find out when the issue arrives in an extra-sized volume in February 2009.
