  • As he begins the tough job of being the leader his kingdom needs, he is stolen away to a mysterious planet where he must fight for his life.
  • Shuri sets out on a mission to find him, but with the king MIA and the princess fully invested in saving him, will someone be able to take the throne?
  • The first of four issues of Black Panther: Intergalactic is set to debut on December 17th, with preorders available now.

What They’re Saying:

  • Victor LaValle, Writer: "When Jonathan Hickman invited me to work on the Black Panther Imperial one-shot, I jumped because it might be my only chance to write T'Challa. But then I got Black Panther: Intergalactic, and I am here for it. T'Challa has had some hard times, real lows; he's learned from being down, and now he's ready to come up. Become a king again? Maybe. Or maybe even something more."
  • Stefano Nesi, Artist: “I'm so glad to be part of this project and to work with Marvel again. Taking on Black Panther's adventures in space is an exciting new challenge. I'm usually more into urban heroes, so jumping into the cosmos felt like the perfect change. I love the character, and Victor's writing brings a powerful and interesting take to T'Challa that I can’t wait to bring to life."
