That's not it. I'm talking about as far as black heroes. She's a icon and really didn't mean anything until a Fantastic Four animated appearance where he outsmarted them. These days people kind of see him as a Marvel version of Batman except he's a king.
Nah...that wouldnt have advanced his popularity. Lol. But good find.

Me too. I had been meaning to check it out anyway but I'll definitely see if i can grab the back issues next time I go to the comic shop.
Colin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing are good writers even though all their Big Two books are either minis or get canceled fast AF

I'm a Black Panther fan. We don't fukk with Storm on this side anymore
Uhh, breh....I think you are about to drop Ultimate Black Panther in 1-3 issues if Storm is that much of a make or break deal with a comic book
issue #2 literally foretold they are gonna end up together 
Black panther has never ever outsold the x men. In any decade. The only reason Marvel became a powerhouse is because of Spider Man and the X Men. And Storm's popularity as a African hero definitely stood out more than any character of color in any company.

Mark Russell, Steve Foxe and Kyle Starks are some really good writers that aren't A-listers yet.
Other Current era favorites: Al Ewing, Joshua Williamson, PKJ, Jeremy Adams.
Really wack writers right now: Cody Ziglar, Eve ewing.

Rise of Powers of X #3
I thought this was one of Gillen's worst issues since he rejoined the X-Line. This whole thing is shifting from "I have my own pitch and I'll make it integrate to what Hickman started" to Hickman cosplay of sci fi mumbo jumbo to explain how shyt is different now. Like most of this "event" it feels rushed and all over the place, and this time around Gillen's craftsmanship couldn't save the issue like in other times.Phoenix coming back and wrecking shyt up will look cool as fukk though, I really wanna see how they put Sinister's Dominion getting humbled on the page

I'm bummed G.O.D.S. is going on indefinite hiatus (probably because no one gave a fukk and had awful sale numbers, lol). The last issue felt like something that would've happened in 5-7 issues down the line and could've had emotional weight behind it. But because they are wrapping shyt up it was just an interesting "twist", so to speak.

It will be an 8 issue mini-series from my understanding. So the final issue should be out in May.
I read anything Hickman, so I was onboard with this but I could tell that there isn't much of an audience for it.

G.O.D.S. got canceled over poor sales and they tried to save face, basically. Marvel literally said "it's over... for now" but I don't see people caring about it enough for it to comeback eventually. It's not like his S.H.I.E.L.D. mini were it was clearly a short story with a clear ending. GODS was way more ambitious and long term but no one cared.
It's a shame, I really liked the different ways Hickman presented each character and deity each issue, there was always something interesting going on. It clearly played to his strengths. And I felt it got better each new issue.
