Yup! You read the title correctly. Marvel released a press release about their plans in February to issue in a new Black Panther who happens to be a female. Now at first reaction this seems like a ploy for more readers to me, but who knows it could turn out to be a legitimately good idea. I'll admit that I'm not really the biggest Black Panther fan to begin with. I mean yes I know that he is one of Marvel's first serious black heroes, but I don't know I guess the story never seemed all that compelling to me.
If this new upcomming arc proves to be interesting though I can see myself buying this book in the future. My first thoughts about who is under the Panther mask is that it's probably the current Black Panther's wife, the weather-controlling X-man known as Storm. What I'm more eager to find out though, is why does the current Black Panther need to be replaced? I hope they don't kill off the character.
Anyway, heres the press release for this news that was found in the Washington Post.
