What The "Avengers" Movie Will Be Like, Kinda
The “post-modern” Avengers comic that this cartoon adapts was the basis for the film. For instance, the first 15 minutes is basically the last half-hour of last year’s “Captain America: The First Avenger.”
New "Avengers" Clip!

Shameless TV Hype At The "Avengers" Premiere :)
“Access Hollywood”‘s Shaun Robinson is quite funny here. Even though it’s her job to hype this up, I almost believe her. It’s ’cause I want to, though. 🙂 This makes me want to go to the midnight premiere and just tough it out.
"Dark Girls:" The Issue That Still Haunts
I’ve struggled with this, and I’ve seen it at Morgan. Painful. Thanks to Bill Duke.
"The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" Is Back!
Black Panther and War Machine! Cap’s electronic shield! (Too bad Cap has been replaced by a Skrull! WOW!) “Civil War” looming! And Maria Hill having the hots for Stark! As Stan would say: “This one has it ALL, True Believers!” LOL! 🙂
Onto May 4th!
Asante Sana, Gil Noble
I’m sure you are having a great time in the Realm of the Ancestors, sitting and talking to El-Hajj Malik-El Shabazz, Sister Betty and John Henrik Clarke. Thanks for your career, and mine.

Twitter: @hafrocentric[Oakland, CA] (H)afrocentric: the Comic Vol. 2, set to be released April 10, 2012 presents a clear and funny narrative that connects the not always clear and not always funny outposts of comic books, politics and popular culture.
Writer Juliana Smith has teamed up with illustrator Ronald R. Nelson to create a bright and visual bang of cultural commentary through characters that look like America. With the first series of (H)afrocentric featured in Occupy Comix as well as on Women’s Magazine Radio and Block Report Radio, (H)afrocentric aims to do something new in the world of comic books.
In the comic’s second installment, it’s The Boondocks Huey Freeman meets X-Men’s Professor X as (H)afrocentric heroine Naima Pepper attempts to thwart the growing gentrification in her new neighborhood. Naima and friends, and her reluctant brother, decide to create MYDIASPORA.COM, the first and only anti-gentrification social networking site on earth. Through a series of fundraising events, they manage to lay the groundwork to support their idea, movement and website. But will their efforts be able to stop gentrification?
A preview of Vol. 2 can be found here
Smith is currently traveling to schools and college campuses speaking about the possibilities of independent media through comics, as well as the following subjects:
- Comic Book Superhero(ines), Race, Gender and Expectations
- A Comic Book lineage from Torchy to The Black Panther to (H)afrocentric.
- Writing your Passion- Creating a Comic Book 101

Juliana “Jewels” Smith
