Shuri, Killmonger, and more are ready to step up and protect the nation of Wakanda in a new series from Marvel Comics and writers Stephanie Williams and Evan Narcisse, and artists Paco Medina and Natacha Bustos.
In WAKANDA #1, writer Stephanie Williams and artist Paco Medina will start things off with an in-depth tale about T’Challa’s genius younger sister and former Black Panther, Shuri. Shuri proves that being without the Black Panther doesn’t mean Wakanda is without heroes to protect it – and that there is a reason she too once wielded the power.
“I’ve been such a huge fan of the Black Panther over the years, especially the evolution and expansion of the women of Wakanda. It’s truly an honor to kick off the new series with the Shuri story I wrote. I hope I can add to her and Wakanda’s already impressive lore,” said Stephanie Williams in a press release from Marvel Comics.
Each issue of WAKANDA will also contain a “History of the Black Panthers” backup story by writer Evan Narcisse and artist Natacha Bustos, providing for the first time anywhere a definitive overview of all the Wakandans who have held the mantle of the Black Panther!
The Wakanda mini-series kicks off on October 12, 2022.
