Wakanda fends off interstellar invaders in this Black Panther exclusive

Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Black Panther run has had a fascinating evolution since beginning in 2016, with a shaky first year that saw Coates still acclimating to comic-book storytelling. Eventually he got the hang of writing a superhero book and the series significantly improved, taking a massive leap for the second volume sending T’Challa deep into space to face off against the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda. The book maintains a strong throughline of socio-political commentary while delivering exhilarating sci-fi action, and the narrative has only gotten deeper since T’Challa’s return to Earth. The villainous N’Jadaka has followed T’Challa back and resurrected the body of Erik Killmonger with the help of a Venom-esque alien symbiote, and now the forces of Wakanda are trying to stop their cosmic brethren from invading Earth and making it a part of their empire.
