Now, make no mistake: this is still a Marvel story, one with big comic book trappings. There are battles aplenty, a Big Bad that’s iconic to even casual Marvel fans (or those who only know the MCU), and so forth. At the same time, though, there’s no denying that Coates uses We Are the Streets to take on contemporary issues in a head-on fashion. This is an all-Black superhero team dealing with police militarization and brutality, racial unease and tension, and more - not exactly neutral fare. Coates handles it perfectly, though, turning it into the text of the story while never letting We Are the Streets become a polemic. Is this a political comic? Undoubtedly and unabashedly. But it’s also a superhero comic, and Coates never forgets that as his plot develops and his mystery twists and turns.
I really loved Black Panther and the Crew, and it’s sad to me that it couldn’t find an audience; what Coates has done here is even more interesting and thoughtful than what he did in A Nation Under Our Feet, and his ability to mix insight with action makes this a complex, satisfying story that reminded me what comics could do. Here’s hoping the Crew can find more adventures somehow in the pages of Black Panther, but more importantly, that Coates gets the chance to bring his Harlem back to comic pages again sometime soon.
More generally, I wish Marvel would weight trade paperback sales (is that what these collected editions are called?) more heavily in deciding what to cancel/continue. Many book-lovers like me who are just now discovering comics are pretty uninterested in the traditional model of buying single issues as they come out.
Marvel has a problem with too many titles and not letting many new series find their audiences, and this trade suffers as a direct result of that. This speaks to a surprisingly simple solution though, one that Marvel has already found with Star Wars titles: outsource some of them through licensing deals. If titles like the more kid-oriented Star Wars books can find a home with IDW, why can't smaller Marvel titles that are still successful at that level do the same so that we can get good stories, even if it's just for a few more issues? Now the canon of Marvel has to deal with this sloppy storyline for the rest of time, or do worse: forget it ever happened. When you say that about characters like Panther, Luke Cage, Storm, and Misty Knight, that's a huge disservice.
One more word was required.
I now have 5 of the Ta-Nehisi Coates series. Looking forward to reading this series for a long time to come. Bravo!
