Marvel Comics Cancels Black Lives Matter-Themed 'Black Panther' Due to Poor Sales
Marvel Comics has canceled its Black Lives Matter-inspired comic book Black Panther & The Crew due to poor sales, according to reports.
The comic book — written by activist author Ta-Nehisi Coates — was canceled after only two issues but is expected to finish out the remainder of its six-issue run, The Verge reported.
The comic features a group of majority-black superheroes including Black Panther, Misty Knight, Luke Cage and Storm — the only white person in the “crew” is Kung Fu hero Iron Fist — and their investigation into the case of a black civil rights activist who died in police custody in New York City’s famed Harlem neighborhood.
The story is set in a New York City patrolled by robot police officers instead of human officials, but much of the plot appears to derive thematically from the Black Lives Matter playbook, with cops beating up minorities for little to no reason and groups of local citizens on the verge of riots over it all.
Coates assured fans that with its last few issues, the comic’s storyline would be wrapped up and the mystery of who killed the civil rights activist would be solved.

The Dindu Nuffins?
thats too bad.
there should also be a comic where a superhero fights corporate crime.
i always thought there should be an avengers movie with historical figures like malcolm x and dorothy day and they have superpowers. v for vendetta has a good legacy
btw because whites didnt care or were too ignorant to make sure blacks didnt have to endure state police repression, that kind of repression is coming for you next!

Mizzou likely to cut hundreds of positions amid expected 7 percent enrollment drop
Amid budget cuts and an anticipated 7.4 percent drop in enrollment, leaders at the University of Missouri-Columbia are expecting to trim about 400 positions.
Most of the jobs would be cut through attrition, with fewer than 100 layoffs projected. Interim Mizzou chancellor Garnett Stokes announced the budget details at a campus forum Monday.
Mizzou has already said it is expecting its smallest freshman class in two decades. The enrollment drop discussed Monday is the first estimate pertaining to the school’s entire enrollment.
The loss of students would result in about $16.6 million less in revenue. Leaders hope to make up about $7 million of that through a 2.1 percent increase in tuition.
Mizzou, along with other schools in the University of Missouri system, has been asked to present proposals that would cut 8 percent to 12 percent of their budgets.

Bactrian camels have 2 humps and dromedary camels have one hump. The way to remember them is dromedary starts with "D" (one hump).Bactrian starts with "B" (two humps).
