Marvel: Black Panther: The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda - Hardcover

by Suyi Davies Okungbowa (Author)

Lost to time, space, and legend, Wakanda's rightful king must answer the call of rebellion in this thrilling adaptation of Ta-Nehisi Coates's acclaimed Black Panther run.

On Earth, Wakanda is a beacon of prosperity and a bastion of freedom. But across the expanse of space, thousands of lightyears away, lies another Wakanda. One that has grown to hold five galaxies in its iron grip. One that steals the memories of those it enslaves. One that has abandoned the values of its forebearers and seeks only the glory and power of empire.

Lost amongst unfamiliar stars, a man finds himself as the property of Emperor N'Jadaka. He knows not how he got there, who he is, or even his name. The only thing he does know, in his bones, is that he must fight the oppression that surrounds him. That drive for liberation leads him to the Maroons, a band of rebels determined to shatter the empire and restore the memories of the Nameless. When the man quickly proves his worth with an unparalleled skill for battle, the Maroons bestow on him a title of hope, promise, and responsibility: T'Challa.

As T'Challa's reputation among the rebels and ordinary citizens spreads, whispers of hope begin to swirl. Could this be the true T'Challa of old, the Avenger? The One Who Put the Knife Where It Belonged? When all eyes turn to him, T'Challa must decide if he will embrace a future of responsibility as their savior or pursue the mystery of his true past.
