Black Panther

T'Challa fights for Wakanda's future while reckoning with its past in this original Marvel super hero story.

 


Isolated from the world, the African kingdom of Wakanda is a land of scientific and technological marvels unknown to countries even on its own continent. Previous rulers believed that their nation could only survive by closely guarding Wakanda's secrets and keeping them out of the hands of those who would exploit and weaponize them.


 


King T'Challa, the Black Panther, believes the time has come to share his nation's knowledge and resources with the world, including former apartheid state Rudyarda. As Wakanda's politicians debate for and against aiding a former colonized region with an infamous history, the kingdom's past deeds come to light when T'Challa's father, T'Chaka, is resurrected from the ancestral plane—prepared to reclaim both his rule and the Black Panther mantle.


 


But T'Chaka isn't the only one to return from the spiritual realm. As dead men rise and political rivals act against him, T'Challa turns to those he trusts most—Shuri, Okoye, and Misty Knight—to uncover who, or what, is responsible for bringing the dead back to life. As the chaos spirals around him, threatening all of Wakanda, T'Challa must face T'Chaka and acknowledge the failings of his father's rule.
