That was the plan. Ultimate Black Panther #1 There was no presence for Wakanda among the previous Ultimate Invasion and Ultimate Universe from Jonathan Hickman and friends Lords of the Upper and Lower Kingdom reigned over the continent of Africa, but Wakanda has been hiding itself. Ultimate Universe #1 The map of the world shjowed a black dot for[...]

In the current Black Panther comic book written by John Ridley, T'Challa has been exiled by Wakanda, which is experimenting with turning itself into a modern democracy And with the final issue of his run, out today drawn by German Peralta, the usual pattern would be for the status quo to return in time for[...]

Today sees the publication of Marvel's Voices: Wakanda, focusing stories principally by Black comic book creators, on the heritage of the nation of Wakanda, the fictional home to the Black Panther, indeed as now established, a long legacy of Black Panthers before T'Challa And it's to his ancestors, former Black Panthers, that T'Challa turns for[...]

As we learn of Aja Orisha of Wakanda, one of the Balu-Aye mystical priests, who underwent a similar ritual. Aja Orisha leaves Wakanda, seeking her own journey, and ends up in New York in 1921, where she falls in love and has a child.   And it is then that Aja Orisha meets the Russian Revolution refugee Sergei[...]

Welcome to Bleeding Cool's preview of the upcoming Wakanda #4 In this preview, Tosin is killed, but don't worry, it was just a training exercise, so it counts even less than death in comics normally does!

Opponents strongly object when M'Baku tries to unionize a vibranium mine in this preview of Wakanda #2. LOLtron, the management here at Bleeding Cool has paired me with you in hopes of "improving the overall tone and quality of my work," so though I know I will regret it, I am contractually obligated to ask: what[...]

We've already seen that Thorne's Riri Williams will have a large role to play in the MCU sooner rather than later (starting with this month's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), and the Fall 2023 streaming series is expected to elevate Thorne and Riri to superstar status But we have more than Ironheart to update, with producer[...]

The Rhino invades Wakanda in this preview of Wakanda #1… can Shuri stop him without her brother around? This comic wouldn't exist if the answer wasn't: yes! Check out the preview below. Wakanda #1 by Evan Narcisse & Stephanie Renee Williams & Paco Medina & Natacha Bustos, cover by Mateus Manhanini THE BLACK PANTHER IS NO LONGER WELCOME[...]

A lot of new reveals were showcased during SDCC 20202, including a new wave of figures for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever However, the wave does not only consist of Marvel Studios figures, as two Marvel Comics figures were also included in the wave One of which is the Hatut Zeraze, the deadly secret police of[...]

Today's Black Panther sees T'Challa on the run from his own people, charged with murder, as Wakanda is in political turmoil With his pursuers instructed to shoot to kill Another day in international politics Which is why the arrival of Storm, Queen of the Solar System, and former wife of T'Challa is welcome… in the[...]

Ororo moved to Wakanda and co-starred in the Black Panther comic, only returning occasionally to the X-Men. But then the Avengers Vs X-Men series came along and the Phoenix-empowered Namor did this: Deprived of justice against Namor by the X-Men, the Black Panther did the next best thing He declared the X-Men as the enemies of Wakanda,[...]

But there's one scene that really stands out. Symbol Of Truth #1 Wakanda's place in the Marvel Universe is often a tricky one Isolationist, a monarchy rather than a democracy, it doesn't provide the best example of how things should be done, and makes for a problematic fantasy But why not? That's how tricky questions get asked[...]

Gentle may not feel the same way… Which mirrors previous portrayals of Wakandan racism towards mutants Such as Gentle, currently up for membership of the X-Men. The decision not to have diplomatic relations with Wakanda bought by mutant drugs that most other nations had accepted.   Their decision to destroy the Krakoan doorway. And some barbed back-and-forths over sporting events.       But[...]

Who? Well, let's have a little Wakandan history lesson During Ta-Nehisi Coates' run on Black Panther, there were acts of revolution as anarchy fought against totalitarianism, in the state of Wakanda. This saw Wakanda turn from being an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy, introducing democracy into the running of the nation. To some degree at least. In[...]

In Black Panther #2, the ghost of international intrigue haunts the nation of Wakanda as the sequestered land addresses a possible "Richard Armitage dropping a dime" situation threatening its intelligence officers in the world Given Wakanda's new transition to a parliamentary democracy, the new limits of his role as chieftain of the Panther Clan chafe[...]

Marvel Characters Inc, the holding company for Marvel Comics intellectual properties, has filed a trademark for "Warriors Of Wakanda" for the use in comic book series.

Credit: Marvel Comics T'Challa is trying to have it all — serve as chairperson for the Avengers, open Wakanda up to parliamentary democracy, change the course of an intergalactic empire and maintain his protective nature over the kingdom Sure, it'd be a pretty interesting book if he could manage that, but of course, a loose thread[...]

Credit: Marvel Comics King T'chaka has been buried in Wakanda, and his teenaged son, the crown prince T'challa travels through the continent on a kind of vision quest to prepare himself for the throne Along the way, he gets robbed by some urchins, uncovers a plot, and works to better the lives of the forgotten[...]

Who likes a fictional map?

Now, in The Last Annihilation: Wakanda #1, a very different M'baku seeks to find a new path for the name that can be seen in a different light, and frankly, it's great. The Last Annihilation: Wakanda #1 Cover Credit: Marvel Through an ill-considered and somewhat problematic lengthy storyline, Wakandans time traveled and accidentally became gigantic jerks on[...]

government could've given Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson's (Mackie) shield? Granted, losing partners the way he did will mess up anybody, and we're sure that wonderful ass-beating he got from Ayo (Florence Kasumba) and the Dora Milaje didn't do much to help that fragile ego. Image: Screencap Speaking of that moment, Marvel Entertainment spoke with Mackie, Stan, Kasumba,[...]

The last leg of a globe-spanning mission comes to an entertaining penultimate chapter in Taskmaster #4 as the garishly clad mercenary drops from a high altitude into Wakanda, the world's most difficult nut to crack Were he there to steal vibranium, or state secrets, he would be in an enormous amount of danger and highly[...]
