Ever since Insomniac showed the world how to make a gripping superhero video game with <em>Spider-Man</em>, I've been surprised that no one has been able to properly follow in their footsteps, but have remained hopeful about some of the projects on the horizon, namely Insomniac's <em>Wolverine </em>title, and Cliffhanger Studios' <em>Black Panther </em>game. Despite being in the works for at least two years, I'm so disheartened that EA has scrapped the game and shut the studio down, as that's a hero who has so much potential for a great character action game that also further expands the cultural celebration of Wakanda. Plus, since gaming licensing rights can be even trickier than general character rights, I've no idea how likely it is we'll get a solo Black Panther game from here.
