M'Koni

A supporting presence in one of Marvel's most celebrated Modern Age runs, M'Koni made their debut in Christopher Priest and Sal Velluto's Black Panther #31 in 2001 — a series renowned for its sharp political intrigue and rich Wakandan world-building. Sharing pages with T'Challa himself alongside figures like Queen Divine Justice, Malice, and Omoro, M'Koni inhabits a corner of Marvel's most sophisticated corner of the early 2000s. With appearances collected in Black Panther by Christopher Priest: The Complete Collection, this character is a piece of a run that fans and critics alike regard as essential reading — reason enough to seek them out.
