Marvel’s "Black Panther" wrapped shooting last month in Atlanta. It’s just one example of a welcome change we’re seeing in comic books: the rise of black superheroes. Two Atlanta-based authors are adding to the stack with, “Tuskegee Heirs: Flames of Destiny.” The comic series weaves African-American history with an epic mission to save the planet. It’s the brainchild of Marcus Williams and Greg Burnham, who we spoke to ahead of their appearance this week at MomoCon in Atlanta.
