A new 'Wakanda' comic series will explore what the titular nation is like with T’Challa banished and Shuri, Killmonger, and more left to protect it. Check out the first covers:

Before Wakanda and its inhabitants return to the big screen this November with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it'll get some massive representation in the comic book world from some of the best creatives in the industry. The new Wakanda limited comic series will not just be a spinoff of John Ridley's beloved Black Panther comics, but a comprehensive depiction of Wakanda and its fan-favorite defenders as well as deep coverage of the long line of Black Panthers before T'Challa.

Per the description, Wakanda will follow recent events in Ridley's comics that leave T'Challa unwelcome in his homeland. Without their former king and protector, the people of Wakanda must take up the mantle of defender and keep the great nation safe in his absence. A different fan-favorite character will be followed with each issue, showing how they've stood up to protect Wakanda in their own ways.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Wakanda #1 will see the team-up of writer Stephanie Williams and artist Paco Medina for an exploration of T'Challa's sister Shuri. A former Black Panther herself renowned for her intellect, she reminds readers why she once held the Black Panther title and shows that even without her brother, there are plenty of capable Wakandan warriors around to defend their homeland.

Along with the main story, each issue will explore the Black Panthers through a backup series of stories titled History of the Black Panthers penned by Evan Narcisse and portrayed by Natacha Bustos. In doing so, it makes Wakanda the only comic series with a comprehensive history of all the Black Panthers. Narcisse was particularly excited to have the opportunity to explore a previously unexplored part of Black Panther lore.

More details of additional issues will be revealed as the comic's release date nears. Check out the first set of cover art for the limited series below.
