"BLACK PANTHER: A NATION UNDER OUR
FEET – PART FOUR"
FEATURING "KINGS" BY KWEKU
COLLINS
Innovative Marvel Video Series Bridges Marvel Comics with Top
Music Talent
New York, NY—Aug 10th,
2016 — Today, Marvel Comics continues to present this year’s breakout Marvel
Super Hero – the Black Panther – through a monthly video series that continues
to link the world of comics and hip-hop blending animated comics along with
commentary from Black Panther writer, Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Additionally, “Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet – Part Four” is paired
with Kweku Collins’ harmoniously mastered “Kings.”
This new
video series is designed to present the world of Black Panther to a whole new
audience and will offer fans a monthly recap of the best-selling comic book
series prior to the latest issue being made available and on sale.
Within Marvel
Comics’ Black Panther, written by The Atlantic national
correspondent and National Book Award winner, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Black Panther
confronts a dramatic upheaval in Wakanda that will make leading the African
nation tougher than ever before! When a superhuman terrorist group calling
itself The People sparks a violent uprising, the land famed for its incredible
technology and proud warrior traditions will be thrown into turmoil. If Wakanda
is to survive, it must adapt — but can its monarch, one in a long line of Black
Panthers, survive the necessary change?
Continuing
the excitement surrounding Marvel’s celebrated Super Hero T’Challa, the Black
Panther, the latest episode of this revolutionary multi-artist hip-hop-inspired
video series samples, “Kings” by Kweku Collins.
“It's a very
surreal experience to see my music accompany the story of a Super Hero that
represents a part of my identity previously under-represented in the comic
world,” says Collins. “The strength and perseverance I've observed in Marvel
characters since I was young continues to inspire me as an artist and a
person.”
This new video
series has already reached global proportion and will further emphasize how
Marvel is the premiere name when it comes to story-telling, and now, a brand
new platform for musicians to launch new music.

Panther #5
