Let us not forget those who have gone before us, who have fought the good fight with faith, and courage. Black History Month is due in remembrance of them all, and us today must not allow those torches of courage to ever go out. Kudos to the Black Panther movie, now a superhero movie for us--not one of a "pale like," one that bolts out of a phone booth wearing a flying like red and blue cape. Blessings to you all!

Due to another project I was researching, partly for my review of Black Panther, I have been assembling a list of black superheroes. I've been limiting it to comic books since I have a life and a girlfriend who requires attention. Please take a look, let me know what errors I have made, and, this is the cool part, send me info on your characters, as long as they have two or more issues out, and I'll add them to the list.
Please follow the format I'm using so I don't have to edit your submission. I don't want to miss something and have you mad at me.
If in Metro ATL, come by and check out fellow nerds at this Private Screening of "Black Panther."
