I'm a writer. I read a lot of comics. My friend Jojo is an artist. She doesn't read any comics.

At lunch, she draws super heroes from memory. Her memory is not always very good.

As you look at these drawings, I can not stress enough that Jojo is a professional artist, and a full grown woman. It's important to remember that.

Today Jojo draws Black Panther. This week I’m having Jojo draw Avengers that were not in the movie. Today we get a character that has a decent shot of showing up in some movie someday, since he’s one of Marvel’s most prominent black heroes. I understand why Jojo gave him a full cat head, for a mask. It’s pretty much what she did with Hawkgirl. I also understand giving him a tail and I even kinda get why he’s shirtless with weird suspenders (alright, no I don’t). Near as I can tell Stan Lee and Jack Kirby themselves disagreed on whether to show his face or not, Jojo went with face. I showed her a picture of what Black Panther is supposed to look like and she said, “Boring. He looks just like Batman.” I explained that Black Panther looks nothing like Batman because he doesn’t have a cape. Also, here’s a picture of him with a cape.
