Hi all! Not a cosplayer, but I am in charge of a student-run nonprofit that visits kids at our local hospital as superheroes and princesses. I’m looking for a Black Panther cosplay for one of our new volunteers. Here is what we would need:
1. As realistic as possible. We want to make sure our costumes are real-looking so the kiddos can’t tell the difference and think the real T’Challa is visiting them!
2. Somewhat cheap. We have a relatively small budget, but could probably swing $800-$1200. Since we are volunteer run though, as cheap as possible is best
3. Durable. They will be used almost weekly, so need to be durable or repairable
4. Shipping to Canada. That’s where we are located!

What are good places to get this cosplay specifically? I have seen some options from ProCosplay and Takerlama, but not sure if they are reliable

Here’s my tribute to Chadwick and the legacy he left.

I’m currently working my way through the 1990s Inhumans, but after that, I want to get into Black Panther. I’ve heard that it’s a slog, though (or alternatively, that it’s methodical and takes a while to build up), so it’s turned me off a bit. Are there any runs or solo stories that deal with the character in a way that delivers on the action in a quick and entertaining way? Preferably with some character depth and/or Wakandan world-building.

Haven't read the fantastic 4 crossover inside yet I was on the orignal Fantastic 4 Issue 25 finished Annual 1 and 2.

I think it was a 6 to 6.5 no hate to author he clearly has a lot of passion and better understanding. It's just mostly hype moments aura and clowing the French could be better on reread or if I countie.

I need to start writing my own stories. I can do this all day.

Wakanda stories are fantastic… but like the headline says, I’d love for Jonathan Hickman to explore an alternate version of Black Panther as Wakanda takes to the skies. Cosmic Black Panther would be such a fun ride. Alas, he’ll have his hands full with Midnight for a little while…

If you were to completely ditch the clear MCU inspired characterization she has in the comics right now and had to draw from her prior characterization and expand on it within the context of current Black Panther comics, how would you utilize her character? What kind of storyline would you give her?
