This isn't EVERYBODY but this can also lead to the low self esteem of black kids whos truggle with relationships growing up. Not only can they possibly not be in a relationship in real life but guys that look like you in the damn CARTOONS have issues to it's like wtf

Sometimes you have to put your work out into the world and hope you can create your own buzz. If the mountain will not come to Tes Mekonenn, Tes Mekonnen must go to the mountain. Guess what? I don't know how to climb.

I have been working on my graphic novel Birth of a New World for years. I have tried pitching to some smaller publishing houses but have had no success. So I'm trying to figure out how to get my story out there. It's been a long process and at times I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall but I know I have something good. I've finally decided to put Part 1 up for sale on my website: TesMekonnen.com

It's about two twins that are given the option to take riches or become immortal. One decides to take the riches and one becomes immortal and can give others super powers. This leads into a much greater story.

I picked up a new 2026 copy of the DC Encyclopedia and noticed Nubia on the back.

Nubia has been pushed a lot by DC. They want her to be one of their main black characters and queer characters. She's been in several kid's books, middle grade books, and YA books. She's prominent in at least one DC webtoon/webcomic. She appears a lot on covers and is marketed a lot. No animated appearences yet, though.

So, how is her popularity?

After a long haul, and lots of help from my writers group here in Santa Fe, I was able to finish my story and comic. Never knew how big of an obstacle creating a 22-page comic could be. I can’t imagine how people writing novels do it!

I’m really fascinated with learning about erased African history and culture, so my comic here will deal with themes of that, but in a science fiction setting.

Hope y’all dig it and would love any support with the Kickstarter if you’re interested 🤘🏽

I would’ve loved Tchalla and Sam to have properly met in the Multiverse saga. I also think if Chadwick can live, he would probably at least try to get the general audience to like Sam. But what do you guys think?

Everyday I try my hardest to defend Sam being Captain America and explain why he deserves the shield. People telling me “it’s a joke” and that it’s not serious. IM TIRED THAT IS ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES THAT I CAN TALK ABOUT SAM IN A POSITIVE LIGHT!!! I really hope they don’t make Sam an insufferable character in the movie, I really do. People are slaying that I’m too woke but if it was Bucky or John Walker that was Cap they wouldn’t be disrespect. I don’t think marvel knows that this joke fuels the racists and bigots in the fandom to hate on him. Sorry for this long paragraph. I also see SOME black people joining in. And I have a question you don’t have to like Sam but if we don’t defend him who else will?

This was some blatant disrespect towards Sam and when black fans dared to point it out, the racists who have been screeching against Sam Wilson's Cap in bad faith from the beginning came crawling out from under their rock to defend, downplay and gloat. I deadass saw some people commenting this was "proof" Steve was still Captain America.

The MCU has been sabotaging Sam's tenure as Captain America from the beginning. He got one movie that was released in graveyard season and had no major roles since then. John Walker, the white guy who was explicitly shown to not be a good fit for the shield got more marketing and screentime. Steve Rogers' return in Doomsday was hyped up to Kingdom come while Sam got crumbs at best. All this gave these bad faith "Not my Cap!" arguers ammunition to claim Sam's Cap was "boring" and that was the reason they didn't like him (suuure it is).

Those vultures have been clamoring about how the shield should have gone to Bucky or remained with Walker (sincerely, what the fuck??) since FATWS.

And now this.

Thanks, Feige. Really having the black community's back here.
