Well, dammit. The final issue of the Ta-Nehisi Coates series brings us the sort-of finale to the investigation into the death of Ezra Keith conducted by Black Panther and his "Crew" consisting of Luke Cage, Storm, Misty Knight, and Manifold. Who did it? I won't say here, but the ending of the last issue kind of told[...]

Thus far all of the shows have had very different scores and the various composers spoke to Variety about their processes. Luke Cage was praised for its amazing use of hip-hop in its music The music, which was composed by Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge, was looking to blend a few different styles to make[...]

We got them for Marvel's Daredevil, Marvel's Jessica Jones, Marvel's Luke Cage, and Marvel's Iron Fist, and it gave the series a sense of connection not only to each other, but to the MCU as a whole when we'd see the Avengers Tower in the background It also helped establish the colors for each show[...]

Whereas others have taken apart a single volume or collection from a series, this will be taking the 2010 New Avengers series by Brian Michael Bendis as a whole and talking about why I like it so much. This is in part to celebrate the launch of Defenders today, as a lot of that series has[...]

Manifold is met by Black Panther, Luke Cage, Misty Knight, and Storm as the five decide what to do about the Americops and the Hydra incursion into Harlem.

Review: Defenders continues to be one of the most fun comics from Marvel, with some top-notch banter. However, #4 is a bit of a damp squib of an ending.

The Thunderbolts were born. I also knew that one of my dearest loves, Luke Cage, had a solo comic that was published in the '90s My love of the Power Man has been well broadcast by myself in my time here on Bleeding Cool Being interested in reading anything that has Luke Cage in it, but[...]

Now, in Luke Cage #3, he's turned his sights on Luke Cage and Warhawk. Even if Luke can survive the fight, there are a lot of things he still needs to figure out about the mystery of Dr Noah Burstein's alleged suicide, and a lot of things aren't adding up — especially things he's heard from Dr[...]

That's an interesting way of putting it, and it seems apt for the discussion.
