Jennie: "W...what happened to me?" Mariah: "You went a little off the rails. That's all. We got you back, girl." Jennie: "I felt so much...hate. I wanted to destroy everything." Mariah: "Ain't no more hate here--just love. Don't make me bust out into my favorite jam from the Lion King." Power Man and Iron Fist vol. 3 #4 by David Walker, Sanford Greene, Lee Loughridge, and Clayton Cowles

One of the great joys of this series, and something that writer David Walker discussed quite a bit in interviews at the time it was being published, is the way that large numbers of under-used and forgotten characters (including some very goofy D-level villains from the 70s) were brought back into the spotlight and given a bit more depth, personality, and humanity. One character in particular is Mariah "Black Mariah" Dillard, who first appeared in Luke Cage: Hero For Hire #5 and made a mere handful of appearances in that series and in Power Man and Iron Fist volume 1 before largely disappearing from the Marvel Universe. Here, 40 years later, she reappears as a new friend to Heroes for Hire's former office manager Jennie Royce, who in this series is finally released from prison following the events of Power Man and Iron Fist volume 2.

When this new dynamic duo's quest for power goes awry and Jennie gets corrupted by a magical artifact, it's Mariah's love for her that saves the day. This scene encapsulates something this series does so well: melding heart and humor in a celebration of shared humanity and connection. Jennie and Mariah's friendship, while established solely for this series, ends up feeling very special, especially when placed alongside the love between Luke and Danny that anchors the comic.

#The hugs in this run are also unparalleled.#Power Man and Iron Fist vol. 3 #Jennie Royce #Black Mariah #Mariah Dillard #Iron Fist #Danny Rand #Luke Cage #Commentary #ID in alt text

HONORABLE MENTION

Beyoncé - RENAISSANCE

I know it’s coming... *hands on hips* “Honorable mention?!?”

I just can't listen to Renaissance straight through. I’ve tried and tried and tried. When it comes to my listening experience, I approach music sonically first, following the story and arrangement of the music instruments, and how the timbre of one's singing or rapping meets and interweaves between those elements. Give me an audio painting with a tapestry of enthralling colors and textures that I can feel. Then I'll invite in the lyrics.

It's like cinema. The average person most likely follows the eyes of the camera as it relates to the dialogue for the cinematic story. The way my brain is wired 🤖 I have to separate a number of other elements into parts as the story moves along — from the color grading and lighting to the sound design and mise-en-scène — to fully understand the director's vision and grasp the actual tale.

The thing about Renaissance as a whole is that it doesn't breathe enough for me. It feels chaotic like a tide than a flow if I let it run straight through. Give me spatial, darling! But that's the intentional, heavy-handed part about Renaissance, especially on the heels of a post-pandemic world: "Get tf up, dance and feel good." I don't wanna dance; I just wanna listen 😩 lol

Side note:

We all have a specific musical palette as to why we fully gravitate to some songs/albums and not to others. I posted my review of Susan Roger’s book, This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You, a few months ago. (She was Prince's sound engineer from 1983 to 1988.) If you’re curious about why you like the music you like, I recommend for you to read it.
