Black Panther fans, hier kom 'n ding.
You’re in for a real treat this December as Marvel announced that Erik Killmonger will get his own mini-series.
The five-part series is written by Bryan Edward Hill and will go on sale from 5 December.
Hill told Vulture: “I wanted to explore the choices and the fair allures that lead a person to dedicate their life to revenge, and how that happens. Because with Erik, I feel like it’s really a tragedy. It’s a story of a guy who was failed a lot by Wakanda in certain ways, by the people he met outside of Wakanda, by his own conscience in other ways, and I wanted to paint a portrait of that.”
Calling the iconic fight between Erik Killmonger and T’Challa tragic, Hill says: “It’s something that shouldn’t happen. It’s a conflict that’s borne from a tragic misunderstanding and a young man who was violently taken from his home.”
Black Panther has won several awards, including for Movie of the Year, Best Villain and Best Hero.
