At this past weekend’s Baltimore Comic Con, we talked to Brian Stelfreeze. He will be teaming up with Ta-Nehisi Coates on the new Black Panther comic in 2016.

Mr. Stelfreeze took a moment to tell us about his excitement about working on this comic.

Stelfreeze is primarily known as cover artist, having worked on many different things such CyCops, Shadow of the Bat and Domino. His latest release was Detective Comics’ Matrix variant cover.

Check out the video to listen to Mr. Stelfreeze talks about his anticipation of working with Mr. Coats, a bit of the background of the story and perhaps a clue about the Black Panther’s status quo within Wakanda.
