Solicit Synopsis
SECRET ORIGIN OF THE BLACK PANTHER Part 1
Just in time for the highly anticipated film, witness the early years of the man who will come to rule one of the most scientifically advanced countries in the world! Wakanda has always kept itself isolated from Western society, but that’s all about to change. Young T’Challa knows he is destined to become king, but when his father is brutally murdered by outsiders, he’ll find himself taking up a mantle he may not be ready for. Experience never-before-seen drama from the reign of T’Chaka, the king whose death changes a nation’s history forever. Learn about the mother T’Challa never knew. See how the world learns about this wondrous nation for the first time. Will the power of the Black Panther be enough to keep his country safe? Journalist Evan Narcisse makes his comics debut alongside acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates as they chronicle T’Challa’s rise to the throne – and to the Panther legacy that made him an Avenger.
Notes
- Although not listed as a writer on this issue, Ta-Nehisi Coates is credited for his role as a consultant.
Continuity Notes
- Howard Stark appears as the head of Stark Industries when S.H.I.E.L.D. is already active and directed by Nick Fury. However, according to Strange Tales #135 and Fury #1, in that period of time Howard was already dead and his son Tony was the head of Stark Industries, as well as the man who chose Nick Fury to be S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new director.
- This issue retcons Klaw's retconned origin from Black Panther (Vol. 4) #3, bringing back the original version.
