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.
