About this Collection

This collection launches writer Christopher Priest's acclaimed run on Black Panther, introducing a new status quo for T'Challa as he takes on the role of a diplomat in New York City while still serving as the king of Wakanda. The story, illustrated by Mark Texeira, follows T'Challa as he becomes involved in a complex conspiracy involving the murder of a U.S. ambassador, forcing him to navigate the worlds of international politics and superheroics. The volume also prominently features Everett K. Ross, a State Department employee assigned to chaperone the Panther, and introduces the villainous Mephisto as a key player in the unfolding mystery.

In "The Client," Black Panther and his team find themselves drawn into a mysterious case after a simple dinner of Chinese takeout leads to the theft of Ross' ID. As Panther follows the trail through a tense encounter with Mephisto in a housing project, the investigation takes a darker turn—uncovering secrets that stretch beyond the streets of Wakanda. Written by Christopher Priest and Joe Quesada, with art by Mark Texeira and cover by Mark Texeira, this 2001 issue blends urban intrigue with supernatural undercurrents, all rendered in bold, atmospheric detail.
