In the Marvel universe, vibranium has always been this material that absorbs kinetic energy. And any tiny bit of physics knowledge will tell you that that's really non-Newtonian. You can't just absorb energy, you've gotta change it into something else.

I think there's art, and then there's illustration. Art comes from a deeper place.

'Day Men' provides a magnificent challenge in that it deals with a secret society within a secret society.

Writing comics and drawing comics is a really very specific art form. It's a lot easier to get it wrong than it is to get it right.

I think, for the most part, comics have devolved into fantasy for the sake of fantasy.

Wakanda is the Marvel world's most technologically advanced nation, and offensives there can have ramifications everywhere, so that leaves open great possibilities for cameos.

I grew up in a small town in coastal South Carolina. Where I'm from, the people are known as Gullah people. They're some of the first freed slaves that lived on their own, without being attached to the rest of the U.S.

I believe monthly comics and the extended miniseries are the true hallmarks of comic art and storytelling.

Wakanda was allowed to develop freely, specifically on its own. Wakanda pushed back all the invaders. So they maintained all their traditions; they maintained all their styles.

When I do actual sequential work, I really want a story I can get a behind: a story that really holds my attention for, like, the length of what I'll be working on.

I'm always a little nervous when someone comes from other media into writing comics. It's a unique storytelling form, and it requires both talent and respect.

Most established comic writers have a fixed style or methodology, so what you get on page one of the first issue is about the same for the last page of the series.

I think when you're being creative, you still attach it to reality somehow.

I'm trying to have Wakanda represent all of Africa.

The detail of my art depends entirely on the project itself. I tend to be a little more detail-oriented with covers than I am with interior pages, and I try to reduce the detail on action sequences as opposed to suspense passages.

I think of Wakandan technology as organic technology. Most of their tech mimics nature because it comes from nature.

I never really thought about the fact that most of the times I saw Black Panther, he was in New York or in some American city doing something cool with the Avengers. I mean, he's the Prince of Wakanda, but we rarely saw him in Wakanda.

When you have a situation where you're hanging out with 20 or 30 other artists, then there's insane amounts of creativity in the room.

Brian Stelfreeze

When you're an artist, you're generally working at home alone in a studio. It's just really good to get with other guys and make art something you can share.

The cool thing is, I was a little nervous about how they were going to handle Black Panther in his own movie, but then when I saw 'Civil War' and just the perfect way they handled him in that movie, it made me even more excited about a Black Panther film.
