Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of “The Case for Reparations,” Between the World and Me, and, most recently, “The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration,” will continue highlighting the societal problems faced by young African-American men in his new work this spring—through the perspective of Marvel superhero Black Panther. Coates may bear the distinction of nomination for the nonfiction National Book Award, but perhaps more importantly, he’s the self-described premiere comic nerd at the Atlantic. (You’re welcome to come nerd out over The Rumpus’s comics collection anytime, Ta-Nehisi.)
