      • Quotes
        What weighs on me is reading 'X-Men' as a child. They were charged. They dealt with discrimination. They dealt with being an outsider. They dealt with the things that I was feeling. The comics I always read had a philosophical thread. The 'Black Panther' books are not just a story about a king trying to rule. I'm trying to answer other questions, philosophical questions, social questions.
