Luke Cage: Rattled
On November 22, 2017, writer David F. Walker and artist Guillermo Sanna send our hero back to the slammer in Luke Cage #167.
This time, however, the prison Luke gets trapped in can’t be easily escaped—as the metal bars exist as much mentally as they do physically. Stuck in this incarceration of the mind, the only pathway to freedom will be found by embracing the man he used to be…
David F. Walker stopped by Marvel to discuss Luke’s legacy and how the comic continues to evolve. Check out what he said below.

«At several points during the series, including during some of his most heroic moments, Cage can be seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt. To some extent, this makes sense for the character, who is on the run and trying to lie low. But it is also, Colter says, a nod to Trayvon Martin and the Black Lives Matter movement—and the idea that a black man in a hoodie isn’t necessarily a threat. He might just be a hero.»

The Ex-Con, Voodoo Priest, Goddess, and the African King: A Social, Cultural, and Political Analysis of Four Black Comic Book Heroes (2016)
“Challenging the conception of empowerment associated with the Black Power Movement and its political and intellectual legacies in the present, Darieck Scott contends that power can be found not only in martial resistance, but, surprisingly, where the black body has been inflicted with harm or humiliation.
Theorizing the relation between blackness and abjection by foregrounding often neglected depictions of the sexual exploitation and humiliation of men in works by James Weldon Johnson, Toni Morrison, Amiri Baraka, and Samuel R. Delany, Extravagant Abjection asks: If we’re racialized through domination and abjection, what is the political, personal, and psychological potential in racialization-through-abjection? Using the figure of male rape as a lens through which to examine this question, Scott argues that blackness in relation to abjection endows its inheritors with a form of counter-intuitive power—indeed, what can be thought of as a revised notion of black power. This power is found at the point at which ego, identity, body, race, and nation seem to reveal themselves as utterly penetrated and compromised, without defensible boundary. Yet in Extravagant Abjection, “power” assumes an unexpected and paradoxical form.
In arguing that blackness endows its inheritors with a surprising form of counter–intuitive power—as a resource for the political present—found at the very point of violation, Extravagant Abjection enriches our understanding of the construction of black male identity.”
