Black Panther V3 (1998)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Writer Christopher Priest‘s and penciller Mark Texeira‘s 1998 series The Black Panther vol. 3 used Erik Killmonger, Venomm, and other characters introduced in “Panther’s Rage”, together with new characters such as State Department attorney Everett Ross; the Black Panther’s adopted brother, Hunter; and the Panther’s protégé, Queen Divine Justice. The Priest-Texeira series was under the Marvel Knights imprint in its first year. Priest said the creation of character Ross contributed heavily to his decision to write the series. “I realized I could use Ross to bridge the gap between the African culture that the Black Panther mythos is steeped in and the predominantly white readership that Marvel sells to,” adding that in his opinion, the Black Panther had been misused in the years after his creation.

Posted on by EHT Comics

She-Hulk regained a solo series in 1989, The Sensational She-Hulk (maintaining the 1985 graphic novel‘s title). The Sensational She-Hulk ran for sixty issues. Issues #1 to #8, #31 to #46, and #48 to 50 were written and drawn by Byrne. Byrne’s She-Hulk stories satirized comic books and introduced She-Hulk’s awareness that she is a comic book character. Two issues tested the limits of the comics code: #34 makes reference to the 1991 Vanity Fair cover in which actress Demi Moore appeared nude and pregnant (She-Hulk’s version has her holding a green beach ball to imitate Moore’s pregnancy); in issue #40 She-Hulk is entirely naked with her breasts and genital area covered by blur lines as she is depicted jumping rope in the nude. Other writers to contribute to this series include Steve Gerber (#10, 11, 13–23), Simon Furman, and Peter David.

Spider-Woman: Origin (2006)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Origin does away with the spider-blood serum and genetic accelerator elements of the character’s previous origin story. Instead, Jessica’s powers derive from her mother’s womb being hit by a laser beam containing the DNA traits of several different species of spiders while she was carrying Jessica (the Drews were trying to splice and harness spiders’ environmental adaptive capabilities, in order to graft them into the human genome).

After Jessica’s parents disappear under mysterious circumstances, Jessica is recruited into HYDRA (under false pretenses), where she is made into a formidable fighter and assassin. She is trained and mentored by Taskmaster, who schools her in many martial disciplines and more than seven different fighting styles out of his own “arsenal”.

In this re-telling, Otto Vermis, originally recruiting her into HYDRA, is rather an old, retired HYDRA agent who Jessica seduces in order to gain information that will lead her to her mother.
