One of the best currently working artists. No, scrap that... One of the best artists of all time! And sounds like he is a heck of a nice guy, too!

[@wolfprime]

Rogerio Pereira da Silva He is!

[@wolfprime]

Brian is a certified master of the medium. Absolutely one of the best to ever do it.

[@ganjjabarsmedium2347]

Brian is such a kind down to earth guy, as well as one of the best artists of this era!

[@miken4391]

I greatly appreciate the importance and significant contribution of Black Panther to the Marvel Cinematic Universe but to my recollection Blade ,with Wesley Snipes, was black, successful in theatre and television. He has been handled in all forms of media and was profitable in at least a couple. Fox studios kept coming back.

[@Iam123-i5j]

These interviews give me life as a comic fan, especially of comic art

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Stelfreeze is one of the most amazing talents I've ever seen. Haven't been reading comics for quite a while so I didn't know he was doing a book. Only know him from his amazing covers for Batman.

[@jjharris8341]

Yeah, Brian is a genius. Proud to know him back when he was at Gaijin Studios. An artist and a gentleman.

[@kjo2130]

I’m literally binging this series. So dope.

[@kennethwatkins6126]

The greatest comic artist of all time. 🔥🔥🔥

[@pdbowman]

One of the best of these interviews I’ve caught. Great rapport between these guys, thoughtful discussion, good momentum & focus. Excellent material.

[@darkbluebossa]

Great artist. One of my faves

[@vincentfranklin17]

Top notch artist!

[@lukehore5984]

Brian seems like a chill guy

[@Mgm1976-j9w]

Awesome. I fondly remember his batman cover art back in the 90's.

[@MediaCastleX]

One of my favorite artists and I got to learn a lot more about them, thanks syfy 😊💖🗽

[@neilyringworm]

Alan Grant is my favourite writer and so shadow of the bat was huge for me. Those covers were stunning from Stelfreeze

[@KBR641]

Let us not forget about the first blockbuster black marvel charecter movie that started it all "BLADE".

[@guymccloud6731]

Outstanding interview. 1st time I have peeped this series. Now to binge the rest of them. Great job!

[@SpiritTracker7]

Hats off to Brian for sticking to his guns over the black panther... he's basically owned the character since he started on it.

[@jerronwesley4473]

Awesome talent

[@PrototypeOnDemand]

great interview !!!!!!!!!!!

[@djnibroc]

Great to see you, Brian!!!

[@chrisbullock6477]

Wonderful Interview.

[@eloiseaka3887]

Great Artist! A legend!

[@biker944]

I love it

[@JustBlazeArt]

awesome

[@ShempDavidNiven]

The iconic Gil Kane 'up-the-nose' perspective.

[@sanfordgreene106]

the GOAT!

[@1Blastarr]

is there anyway to get these interviews on dvd?

[@allnamesaretakenful]

I bet he went to the same mall in Poughkeepsie that I did.

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

BP sorry but the honor goes to BLADE as the first!!

[@rell127]

Not really Blade is anti-hero also his wasn't a Marvel film. Compare to BP Blade's series only lasted 12 issues. BP'S longest ran 65 issues. Also even before the movies BP has an actual fanbase yet Blade's fanbase only watch his movies and nothing else.

[@MarvelBoi44]

I ♥ Бlack Panda

[@thegamersgalaxy2855]

Good lord. Brian, unless you're trying out for a Vampire role? Bro, cut dem' NAILS!!!!!! Like, today!

[@nivekleveb8872]

so the only Batman covers you show are of azrael, even though Stelfreeze did a series of trading cards of Batman in addition to his covers and then you show interior art from Black Panther books he didn't even draw...and the interviewer reviews to the Priest run as being from the early 90s...its almost you guys half assed your research

[@rell127]

Hmmm 🤔🤔 you make a points.

[@matthewseanmclachlan]

Never judge a book by its cover... unless its done by Brian Stelfreeze

[@MRCLSmoothful]

I like his art, but Ta'Nahesi Coates did an awful job writing that Black Panther run. I clocked out after the 3rd issue. Waste of money, but the artwork was cool.

[@rell127]

I have to a agree as someone who's been a BP fan since I was 11 and I'm 32 now his book is god awful. The art for both runs are amazing but that's about it. The current run started off great but top a dive after issue 3. I feel BP deserves a writer that understands he needs both politics, action and suspense roll into 1 book. Even Ri Ri's current book has those things.

[@avader5]

I love Black Panther he is conservative, into nationalism, the rule of law, border walls, keeping Wakanda for Wakandans! Shout out to Jack Kirby and Stan Lee for creating Black Panther! What is great is he is in alt right hero that has confused those on the left into thinking he's their hero!

[@Reprodestruxion]

avader5 wakanda’s that way due to colonialism

[@nivekleveb8872]

René Moncayo that guy is a troll who has probably never read a black panther comic. don't bother

[@Reprodestruxion]

Kevin Bevel Jr but but but it’s more fun to watch a film like Zulu. PS Wakanda is a) magical overrepresentation b) still a monarchy

[@nivekleveb8872]

René Moncayo what does magical overrepresentation mean?

[@Reprodestruxion]

Kevin Bevel Jr kinda like Disneyfication
