Building Black Panther: The Work Of Christopher Priest (Behind The Panel) | SYFY WIRE

Glad you interviewed this legend. Putting a face behind the gifts.
Wow, Priest is really cool. I love hearing writers passionately discuss this stuff.
He did the Best Series for Black Panther.
I'm really surprised people hated on Priest's BP run. I remember reading the issues as they came out (it was the only book I was reading in the 90s) and thought it was fantastic.
I reading through it. It's great.
Every old fanbase hates the new changes. Every new fan base loves the new changes cuz it's all new. (+)
Christopher Priest is one of the smartest guys in comics and without him, there is no Black Panther movie. All respect to Lee, Kirby, McGregor, Hudlin and Coates, but Priest made the Panther COOL again.
Jeff, he absolutely DID. Totally agree. We wouldn't care about the character if Priest hadn't made him an absolute badass that can outwit Mephisto.
they took every element from his run and put it in that movie...he’s truly a talent!
And Texiera don’t forget about him. His lines or lack thereof combined with the highlights on the colouring really added to the mystical feel of the book. I think the two were made to collaborate
With the mainstream popularity that Black Panther has with the movie and the academia appeal that BP has with the Coates run on him, it is sad that Priest's Marvel Knights run doesn't get talked about more.
Next on Maury... Talia, Bruce, and Slade are here to find out "Who is Damian's father?".
A legend in comics! He should be on the hall of fame. He should be talked about and interviewed more.
People were mad he gave Tchalla tech!?!? that's crazy
Bebe Heart Dwayne McDuffie spoke on this a few times. Watch this interviews: ruclips.net/video/u16sKK-1oLQ/видео.html
He is an innovator!
His BP run is the equivalent of Frank Miller's Daredevil in that he brought in concepts that may not have been associated with the character initially but 100% made sense.
Absolutely love these comic creator interviews. Please keep putting them out.
Love the Black Panther.
Priest is on a kill streak right now (pun intended) hasn't let me down with a single issue of this book yet
Dope writer. Deathstroke is my favorite comic villain ever. Can’t wait for this full series
love black panther
What an awesome interview.
I'm reading his run od BP now, currently on issue #6.
Insightful on all levels
Black panther is an awesome movie .
Priest is so underrated
this is what The Batman movie should be about
I happened upon Priest's run on BP by way of Avengers, during the Ultron Unlimited story arc (still one of the best Avengers stories of all time!) Related to THIS topic, what fired every neuron in my brain were 3 words: "Vibranium weave suit". I went "WHAAAAAAAT???" and could not believe what I was reading. It made PERFECT sense. If you're the KING of a country whose defense, economy and very existence depend on Vibranium. WHY WOULDN'T YOU BE USING IT IN YOUR GEAR?? WHAT HAD TAKEN SO LONG FOR THIS IDEA TO OCCUR TO WRITERS USING THE CHARACTER? Who had DONE this??? I IMMEDIATELY set out to discover where had all this come from. The answer, of course, was that Christopher Priest had totally reinvented T'Challa. And I started buying back issues like crazy. I cannot BELIEVE he got hate mail for this!! The man is humble, and gives due credit to Stan and Jack, and to Don McGregor, as well as the later work by Hudlin and Coates. But Jeff Winbush in the comments below, is dead right. WE WOULD NOT HAVE the movie or the later uses of the character at all, if Chris Priest hadn't come along and made him cool again, while simultaneously dropping in some of the key concepts used for T'Challa and Wakanda that have been in use ever since. Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Priest.
His Deathstroke run has been phenomenal.
Deathstroke is like my favorite Villain in JL. Is his run current, and which one is it?
Priest started the DC Rebirth run of Deathstroke. If you're reading a story and it's told out of sequence, odds are Priest wrote it.
tubepunksheep Just google Christopher Priest Deathstroke you’ll find the trades.
This interview must have been done a while back. Deathstroke vs batman is considered an upcoming arc.
Met the guy at a signing. Just as down to earth and genuine as can be.
Fantastic interview. I’m a new fan and subscriber because of the quality and breadth of your interviews.
Just give priest a f****** run on Batman
as an African american child i never knew Mr. Priest was also a POC...safe to say back then he had to do it solely on merit and not the shoulders we try and stand upon today...his shoulders
Love this.
Priest > Hudlin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Coates
👍🏿
Love Christopher Priest but still miss Jim Owsley🙊
Christopher Priest used to be known in comics as Jim Owsley, for those not in the know.
14:00 never a reference to his color
Cool interview 🍻 priest is well articulate!
15:30
wow
Wait how is Okoye boys name when it's the diety name of a goddess
10:20
11:30 80% of Black Panther was Don McGregor. A lot of people contributed to it.
Black Panther was introduced in. Fantastic Four. Black Panther had been on the Avengers book before he got his own in Jungle Action.
This is one reason why I gave up reading current Mainstream comics (DC\Marvel): their tendency to reboot, scrap and reboot again so they can change the rules at their pleasure! The George Perez Wonder Woman was INVULNERABLE! She could take a punch from Superman and Capt. Marvel without so much as a bloody nose, punches which could cause more impact than any silly bullet! Her Amazon sisters were NOT invulnerable, hence the evolution of the "bullets and bracelets" challenge; but, Diana was given special gifts or powers directly from the Greek gods--she only used the bracelets to defend herself because it was part of her Amazonian culture! Similarly, THOR is also "bulletproof" but he uses his hammer to ward off bullets only because they annoy him!
I don't know what's going on with WW comics today but hopefully, for today's fans, an editor will find a solution to this continuity glitch and explain how WW could be taken down by one simple bullet! Heck, the Golden Age Wonder Woman went through World War 2, does DC think there weren't bullets flying around then??
Honestly, I'm of the mind that making Diana more vulnerable is more interesting for her character, than when she was completely invulnerable to everything except bondage. Besides I'm pretty sure in the comics she's still bulletproof (I cant remember the last time I saw her actually deal with common bullets) and has been since Perez's run. As far as I know, she can only be killed by bullets in the WW movie which is in its own continuity.
and besides, even if there is a continuity glitch that needs explaining, that pretty simple. How did WW survive World War 2 with bullets flying around even though she could be killed by a single one? The same way all the veterans of WW2 survived; skill, training and a little luck. Honestly its a lot more compelling to me that Diana would have been brave and skilled enough to fight in a world war with nothing but a sword, shield and her strength. If she can just shrug off bullets like its nothing, than what is she risking? What's brave about that?
You do realize George Perez' WW was itself a reboot right?
"They licked the stamp." 👅📮
For the love of god, give him Black Panther back...anything to wrest it from Coates.
Oh you don't like political Panther?! LOL!
Coates is doing phenomenal with Panther, he's expanded the lore in ways other writers never imagined. They are actually great friends and worked together on the film.
They need to team Coates up with someone else. Bc he just draaaags on and on on his arcs and they have relatively little action.
With the exception of one story in the Black Panther Annual (alongside a McGregor story and a Hudlin story), Priest's seemingly done; in a Newsarama interview from 2015 Priest said that "I believe Marvel has graciously allowed me an incredible opportunity to say virtually everything I wanted to say about Panther. I’d hate to return to the character and the new stuff not hold up, and I’d hate to end up competing with myself."
I loved his and stelfreeze work on the black panther!
Damien bearing Deathstroke is beyond stupid. The idea of this comic sounded cool but in the end it was just ok
