Because the character and comic book offered a grand and triumphant vision of Afrofuturist blackness...

6.
Super Black by Adilifu Nama - I stumbled upon this book while browsing Facebook one day, saw one of my favourite comic characters and knew I had to read it. Nama, a professor of Africa American Studies, does a pretty good job of analysing all the major black superheroes in comics, TV and film. Some pretty good insights and criticism.
