Three months ago, Lobo posted a story saying that there was going to be a relaunch of the Black Panther. The story behind that was that T’Challa would be replaced by a woman. Now, we think that that woman is going to be Echo. Apparently, after Dark Reign (if you don’t know what that is, go grab the one shot) Echo, also known as Ronin, quits the Avengers only to end up in Wakanda after T’Challa is attacked. Given, she is Hispanic-Native American, but could this spell the end for Black Panther as a viable comic book series? Who really knows who Echo is? I am not completely against it, but this move somewhat vexes me. Are there any other women who could be the Black Panther? Storm? But other than Echo, is there any one remotely qualified? Probably not. So, we will have to see.
