The Wedding of the Century
2007-07-23 10:52:28
Peter Parker and Mary Who?
Scott Summers and Jean What's-her-face?
Forget all of that nonsense.

BLACK PANTHER #18 goes on sale in less than three weeks! And despite Civil War in the Marvel Universe, all of your favorite super-folks (and then some) are showing up to participate in the marriage of Black Panther and Storm.

In fact, you might even recognize some of the wedding guests from places other than the pages of your favorite comics. Take a look at the image below and let us know what you think!


I know who Bush is, and that guy to the right of him is the dictator of Cuba or something, but I'm drawing blanks on the rest.

hatin'?
I don't think Bearpod is hatin' he didn't even say anthing about the marrige he just doesn't think that Bush, Castro, Mandela and the like belong at there wedding because its not realistic. I can see his point but you have to realize that to be "realistic" in a Marvel comic is not being realistic in our worldits the created Marvel Universe and in that universe Black Panther is a ruler of his own country so yes he would know these people because he would be at all the U.N. stuff and hob nobing with other world leaders so i think that if a real world leader would be getting married in the real world the others would be there so it is beleavable that they would be there.

*Nod nod* ^__^
I agree with Alkaline21, the marvel universe is an alternate reality. I mean lets face it, we can all look out the window and stare for hours and we won't see Spider-man swing on by. (As much as I wish we could, but then again with all the super-villians running around in that universe, its like ....er.... do we really need to add that to our world problems? Lol.) So one shouldn't be striving for marvel to stay "realistic." Its their universe, they could do anything they want. I actually think its pretty cool to see all the world leaders paying attention to the marriage. Its great actually and like Alkaline said, real world leaders would pay attention to another world leader's marriage. So in essence, it does make sense.

I just think its cool that they drew them so accuartely that you can tell whos who. ^_^ Great job!

What the...
Is it that anyone can delete any message? Wow, someone deleted mine. Whatever, I still stand on my opinion. These world leaders don't go to ever countries ruler's marraige. I doubt they would realisticly. So whatever Marvel is trying to do there, it's not a good idea, IMO.

Say whatever you want, but delete my posts? That's just wrong.

marvel vs reality
i kinda agree wiv twilghtdragon; i nevr do see spidey out my window (mebbe cos i live in australia lol)
the fact that marvel is trying to integrate their universe with ours simply makes it more believable, and more interesting. eg, i would lev 2 see the xmen fighting to protect president bush, or nelson mandela (long as mandela isnt hurt)
i think marvel's doing a great job; dont stop!

Reality
I think it's cool to see real people in the Marvel comics. Makes it more fun to read along with. I mean besides having to remember how many hundreds of super hero's there are you can identify with the president or other celebs they decide to use. It's all good.
