Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates: The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda by Coates, Ta-Nehisi

Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates continues his widely acclaimed Black Panther saga by taking T'Challa and Wakanda to the stars!

For years, T'Challa has protected Wakanda from all invaders. Now, he will discover that his kingdom is much bigger than he ever dreamed. Prepare to journey to the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda! A Panther story unlike any other begins with T'Challa as a stranger in a strange land -- with no memory of his past, only the suffering of a present spent toiling in the Vibranium mines. But all hope is not lost. A rebellion is growing -- and they have a plan. Who will lead these lost citizens? What is the M'Kraan Shard? And what role will Erik Killmonger play?! Ta-Nehisi Coates continues his ever-surprising saga of a king who sought to be a hero...a hero who was reduced to a slave...a slave who became a legend!

After enjoying considerable success with his relaunch of Marvel Comics' Black Panther, he ushered Captain America into a new era of storytelling. Coates is also the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, a National Magazine award and the George Polk award. His first novel, The Water Dancer, was published in 2019.

Spanish illustrator Daniel Acu?a began his professional career with the publication of the French series Claus & Simon, later reprinted by the popular American magazine Heavy Metal. Acu?a then burst onto the American comics scene with DC's Green Lantern and Flash. For Marvel, he has illustrated such popular series as Young X-Men, Eternals, Black Widow, X-Men Legacy, Avengers, New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers and Wolverine.

Artist Kev Walker cut his teeth on the venerable British comics magazine 2000 AD, eventually moving on to the publisher's flagship character Judge Dredd and other popular series. After illustrating Annihilation: Nova, Walker teamed with writer Fred Van Lente on Marvel Zombies 3 and 4. He also drew Thunderbolts before joining Dennis "Hopeless" Hallum in pitting Marvel's youngest heroes against one another in the kill-or-be-killed Avengers Arena, as well as the follow-up Avengers Undercover.
