A trailer for the new Black Panther movie was a big hit at Marvel’s NYCC event as excitement builds for the February 16 debut of the film. Marvel has already announced a major Black Panther publishing program to take advantage of the movie (see “Marvel Stocks Up on Black Panther”), and the Rise of the Black Panther miniseries, which debuts in January is yet another addition to that program.
