The Initial Inspiration

My thoughts: A person of this brilliance can forge any path that creative energy leads them. Some have said it’s a departure from ‘serious’ literature. I believe it’s not. Wishing him continued success.

Ta-Nehisi Coates, a national correspondent for The Atlantic and a  nonfiction National Book Award nominee, will be the new scribe for  Marvel’s Black Panther comic series starting in the spring. After receiving high praise for his book “Between the World and Me,” a  letter to his son on being black in America, some may think Coates’ move  to comics is an odd choice. Coates disagrees. “I don’t experience the stuff I write about as weighty,” Coates said to  The New York Times. “I feel a strong need to express something. The  writing usually lifts the weight. I expect to be doing the same thing  for Marvel.”
