About the series
Ta-Nehisi Coates brought a new intellectual and political depth to Marvel's Black Panther in this 2016–2018 series, which ran for 25 issues. With artists Brian Stelfreeze, Chris Sprouse, and Leonard Kirk, the story follows T'Challa as he confronts a Wakanda in turmoil—grappling with revolution, legacy, and his role as king alongside allies like Shuri, Storm, and Manifold. This run reframed the nation of Wakanda itself as a character, exploring themes of governance and identity that resonated far beyond the superhero genre.
