Ta-Nehisi Coates’ acclaimed run on Black Panther: The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda Saga is set to return next month with BLACK PANTHER #23 from Marvel Comics.
Coates’ return to the series marks the beginning of the epic conclusion of his redefining work that began in 2016 which was set in deep space, with T’Challa discovering an alternate Wakandan society known as the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda. These ruthless warriors present a dark reflection of T’Challa’s kingdom after having abandoned their peaceful ways, with plans to conquer the cosmos… and Earth’s Wakanda is their next target.
This daring, thought-provoking take on the Black Panther mythology also features surprising developments for supporting characters such as Shuri, Storm, and Black Panther’s greatest foe, Erik Killmonger.
In a press release from Marvel, editor Wil Moss had this to say about the final arc:
“We’re so excited to bring BLACK PANTHER back to the stands, and we thank all our readers for their patience. I promise, these last three issues will be worth the wait — Ta-Nehisi and Daniel have been building to this finale for over two years now, and the ensuing battle between the forces of T’Challa’s Wakanda and Emperor N’Jadaka’s Intergalactic Empire is going to knock your socks off! Just wait’ll you see who shows up to help defend Wakanda…”
