Never heard of him, myself.
He's a writer for The Atlantic; good with prose, not much else.

Nice to see print media still pays, I guess.He's a writer for The Atlantic; good with prose, not much else.
He's writing the new run of Black Panther for marvel and it's pretty good.
He also last year wrote a book on the Black experience in the United States, based on his own feelings, called "Between the World and Me", which ended up becoming a major hit.
Never heard of it or him. Thanks for the context. Doesn't sound like one I'll be putting on my Christmas list though., thh.He also last year wrote a book on the Black experience in the United States, based on his own feelings, called "Between the World and Me", which ended up becoming a major hit.
Well, George Zimmerman IS selling his killing gun...Huh, I thought he was just a journalist and "traditional" writer. Pretty cool to see him crossing over to comics.
...And, for those wondering why a black writer and activist who does a lot of talking about things like white privilege and reparations might not want everyone knowing where he lives, and might be paranoid of backlash...

Because an anonymous white male on the Internet is the same as a best-selling African American author discussing contentious issues of race, class and politics..
Well then I guess he better find a secret bunker in the Rockies.

Um, you're making me agree with @nightflight, so please stop upsetting me. Short of a fortified bunker somewhere remote, the guy is going to have to deal with people eventually.Because an anonymous white male on the Internet is the same as a best-selling African American author discussing contentious issues of race, class and politics.
Of course he's going to deal with people, but having your private life remain private when you're a person that writes about contentious issues is not asking much. Being able to afford his home does not mean he can afford security service, the cost of living in NY is considerably higher than other parts of the country. Higher salaries do not mean everyone can have extra security.Um, you're making me agree with @nightflight, so please stop upsetting me.

Is he really so famous and controversial that standard security precautions won't be enough to keep him safe? If he can afford a multimillion dollar house, he can afford a security service. I really know nothing about the guy, but from what I'm reading here, mayhap he's taking himself just a little too seriously?
I wish I liked comics, I really enjoy comic book cartoons when I was younger, but I never got on the comic book train.It's his first comic and it shows. I want to like it but it's missing something, the dialog feels wooden.
Well, there's never a time like today to give the hobby a shot again.I wish I liked comics, I really enjoy comic book cartoons when I was younger, but I never got on the comic book train.
