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.

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.

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?".

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.

People were mad he gave Tchalla tech!?!? that's crazy

A legend in comics! He should be on the hall of fame. He should be talked about and interviewed more.

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.

Priest is on a kill streak right now (pun intended) hasn't let me down with a single issue of this book yet

Love the Black Panther.

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.

Dope writer. Deathstroke is my favorite comic villain ever. Can’t wait for this full series

this is what The Batman movie should be about

What an awesome interview. I'm reading his run od BP now, currently on issue #6.

Black panther is an awesome movie .

This interview must have been done a while back. Deathstroke vs batman is considered an upcoming arc.

His Deathstroke run has been phenomenal.

love black panther

Priest is so underrated

Insightful on all levels

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

Fantastic interview. I’m a new fan and subscriber because of the quality and breadth of your interviews.

Met the guy at a signing. Just as down to earth and genuine as can be.

Priest > Hudlin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Coates

Love this.

Love Christopher Priest but still miss Jim Owsley🙊

14:00 never a reference to his color

Cool interview 🍻 priest is well articulate!

Wait how is Okoye boys name when it's the diety name of a goddess

11:30 80% of Black Panther was Don McGregor. A lot of people contributed to it.

wow

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??

"They licked the stamp." 👅📮

For the love of god, give him Black Panther back...anything to wrest it from Coates.

Damien bearing Deathstroke is beyond stupid. The idea of this comic sounded cool but in the end it was just ok
