About this Collection

This volume collects the first half of Christopher Priest's acclaimed late-1990s run on Black Panther, beginning with the character's return to his own series after years as an Avengers mainstay. Priest redefined T'Challa as a politically complex monarch and global strategist, introducing the fan-favorite Dora Milaje and the street-level perspective of Everett K. Ross, a State Department liaison assigned to the king. The collection includes Black Panther (1998) #1-17 and material from Marvel Double-Shot #2, showcasing a groundbreaking take that blended superheroics with geopolitical intrigue and dark humor.

In "The Client," Christopher Priest kicks off a bold new chapter for Black Panther with T'Challa tracking Monica Lynne across Wakanda while a hijacked plane carries the dangerous Dzhokhar Gapon. Back in New York, T'Challa names Everett Ross his regent, and in Chicago, Chante Giovanni Brown—known as "Queen Divine Justice"—receives a summons from Wakanda to join the Dora Milaje. Sal Velluto’s dynamic art, with Bob Almond’s inks and Brad Vancata’s colors, brings the stakes to life, while Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti’s cover captures the tension of a world on edge.
