So I've read Incognegro and the revamp of The Unknown Soldier that's in Uganda with.the child soldiers.
So I'm looking for something that touches with either ethnic group that has come out. I'm talking something intelligent, well written, and decent artwork.

Over on the Marvel side, my favorite black dude is the Falcon. The way Ed Brubaker has been writing him for the last few years in Captain America is fantastic.
I have heard Christopher Priest's run on Steel is pretty good, and I am casually tracking down issues when I work up the will to dig through the "S" long boxes at comic shops.

I thought Steel was pretty badass in 52.
Priest run on the Black Panther was also great.
There's a few semi recent marvel miniseries you might want to look at. Can't vouch for them though-Captain America The Truth, which deals with Isaaih Bradley, the first true Super Soldier. The Blue Marvel was about a Superman like hero in Marvel's past that no one knew was black.
Yes, he was. But he also wasn't the main character. He was part of an ensemble cast.
Luke Cage is a dandy compared to Steel.
Man-Thing
He wins for that alone
Steel had a wrist gun that shot hot rivets at people. This was before Doom or Quake.
He is the best
John Henry is the best.
Luke Cage's only claim to fame is anal sex with Jessica Jones.
The Jack-In-A-Box story would qualify as a quality story featuring an african-american character.

I'm pretty sure this is her 50th kid.
John Henry likes the ladies with brains and bosoms.
But Luke Cage is still better

Seems a bit expensive at $30 for 176 pages and you pretty much have to be a fan of indie work, but it comes in hardcover and covers a lot of creators' work.
Check out blackcomixbook.com to get an idea if that's what you're looking for.
Not to mention the most recent Astro City storyline, The Dark Age, also deals with a pair of African-American brothers.
I haven't read it, but I've heard good things about Jim Rugg's blaxploitation book, Afrodisiac.
The short-lived Tony Isabella Black Lightning series in the mid 90's was also fantastic.
