Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates Reading Order

  • by

As part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel relaunch (taking place after the crossover storyline “Secret Wars“), a new Black Panther era began, written by MacArthur Genius and National Book Award-winning writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. It’s a good entry point if you want to read stories about T’Challa and the Wakanda.

Here is the official synopsis of the series: T’Challa is confronted with a dramatic upheaval in Wakanda that will make leading the African nation tougher than ever before. When a superhuman terrorist group that calls itself The People sparks a violent uprising, the land famed for its incredible technology and proud warrior traditions will be thrown into turmoil.

If Wakanda is to survive, it must adapt—but can its monarch, one in a long line of Black Panthers, survive the necessary change? Heavy lies the head that wears the cowl!
