I have to admit, I wasn’t the biggest fan of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad when it was announced and especially after seeing stills of the Killer Croc or whatever his name is. However, everything started to shift emotionally within me when the first trailer dropped. Then came the next and so on and they just get better. Despite not being a huge Margot Robbie fan, she actually has me excited for his portrayal of Harley Quinn. In fact, the only one who has me nervous now is Jared Leto’s performance of my beloved Joker. He just doesn’t look right, but all will be forgiven when this film rocks my world in August, right? Absolutely! 
It’s no surprise that Marvel has rebooted the Black Panther series. After all, they have their blockbuster movie, Captain America: Civil War, coming out May 6th, which will be introducing T’challa, the Black Panther, to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s not at all uncommon for Marvel to hype looming movies by pushing related video games, action figures, and comics leading up the release date. Sometimes these endeavors are more about raising awareness, and of course, making a buck, which can unfortunately compromise the integrity of the project. I’ve seen it many times before, which is why I’m so happy to report that Black Panther isn’t just a marketing device. It’s an ambitious, original, top notch book which has quickly become a must read for me.
