Did Yall Know About The 6 Year Marriage Of Black Panther And Storm
By Ayize Ma’at
To be honest with you I’m not really into comic book characters. I didn’t know who Black Panther was until earlier this year when a good friend hipped me to him. Apparently he’s one of the best out there and he’s got one of the baddest brides in the comic book world, Storm. Well I just found out yesterday that their 6 year marriage may be coming to an end. Why?….apparently folks had issues about their relationship. In any event, reading the below piece was a bit fascinating so I decided to post it on the site. I sho nuff didn’t know about their marriage…did yall?

But it would appear that there might be an off-page political reason for the sudden annulment.
