Comic Book / Wakanda (2022)

Wakanda is an anthology comic, with a Rotating Protagonist lead story, published by Marvel Comics. The series is intended to expand the mythology of the Black Panther characters and setting, and is timed to accompany Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Following events in Black Panther (2021), T'Challa is no longer Wakanda's king or champion. But the nation has other heroes it can call upon.

The lead story in each issue will focus on one of Wakanda's protectors, while back-up stories (written by Evan Narcisse and illustrated by Natacha Bustos) will tell historical tales of previous Black Panthers.

• Legacy of the Chosen: The back-up stories will explore the lives of the previous Black Panthers.
• Rotating Protagonist: The main story focuses on a different character each issue.
• Villain Protagonist: One issue will centre on Erik Killmonger.
