His last series ended with T’Challa exiled from the throne of Wakanda. This June, he returns in a new volume of Black Panther, serving Wakanda in a bold new way.
From Eve Ewing– who I think we can call a superstar writer at this point, can’t we?- and Stormbreaker artist Chris Allen, the new volume will find T’Challa at a low point. The exiled king has now become vigilante protector of Birnin T’Chaka. But as he tries to understand the heart of this city that feels it has been forgotten by the Black Panther, he’ll discover it has challenges unlike any he’s faced before, including powerful crime families and corruption that go against all that Wakanda stands for.
Get a first look at the issue, including Allen’s new design for T’Challa, in the new trailer for the series, as well as the covers and new artwork from the first issue.
“I am so excited for people to see this character design! T’Challa is going to be looking really different. It’s much more edgy and kind of homespun. It’s not so sleek and slick. Not giving too much away from the story, he’s trying not to be seen. He’s kind of working incognito,” Ewing said during an appearance on The TODAY Show. “What I can say, honestly, is that we will be seeing Wakanda in a way that we have not seen it ever before.”
Final order cut-off for Black Panther #1 is May 15th, and the issue is out on June 14th. Watch for more news about the series before the release.
