Finally got around to watching "Black Panther" last night. As a fan of the original Jack Kirby story, my feelings are… mixed. Loved some of the imagery, but thought there was quite a bit of over-the-top that could have been toned back some. Did I mention I have a copy of the original "Fantastic Four" issue where the Black Panther debuted?
It's great fun to see the comics I read when I was a kid being made into movies. I thought the Fantastic Four movies and Dr Strange were good efforts, looking forward to Captain Marvel now.
Love Kirby's work, I appreciate it even more now than when I was young. Some of the large panels he did were awesome. Another favourite back then was John Buscema, especially the black&white Conan books. One day I'll get 'round to buying some Marvel re-prints in colour, I don't have any old comics left. Would be great if they were large size too, not sure what's available just now.
If anyone missed this last night at the end of Andrew Neil's grilling of Nigel Farage, here is his cutting response to Boris Johnson's failure to agree to an interview which all the other party leaders have done:

Is this before or after a few drinks?
