Christopher Priest: Difference between revisions

His most famous works were ''[[Quantum and Woody]]'' (about two dysfunctional best friends turned superheroes), ''[[Power Man And Iron Fist]]'' (about two dysfunctional superheroes turned best friends), ''[[The Ray]]'' (which was ''[[Invincible]]'' ten years before ''Invincible'', only with lots more [[Time Travel]] and [[Xanatos Gambit|Gambitting]]), and perhaps most famously, his ''[[Black Panther]]'' relaunch, considered by many (if not most) fans to be the definitive take on Panther, and is largely credited with legitimizing the character beyond being "that black guy in the back of the Avengers team photos".

He also worked on ''[[Deadpool]], [[Steel]], [[Justice League Task Force]]'', and other, less popular/successful characters and teams (including his [[Too Good to Last|doomed-from-the-starting-gate]] epic, ''[[The Crew (comics)|The Crew]]''. He never really got a crack at writing [[Batman]], [[Superman]], or any other A-list character. Reports of how bitter (or not) he was over this vary. While a lot of his fans like to claim racism is responsible, Priest himself has always taken the high road, focusing more on just exactly how difficult it is to truly break through in the industry, particularly if your first or second project isn't an enormous success, and the tendency of DC and Marvel to give their flagship books to flagship talent.
