📘 Series Summary

Black Panther Volume 6, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, is a landmark run that redefined T'Challa for a new generation. The series opens with the epic 12-part "A Nation Under Our Feet," where Wakanda faces a violent internal revolution led by the terrorist group The People and the defecting Dora Milaje known as the Midnight Angels. The narrative explores whether a monarchy can truly serve its people in a modern world, forcing T'Challa to confront his own fallibility as a leader.

The second major arc, "Avengers of the New World," shifts the focus toward Wakanda's spiritual foundations. As the nation's ancient gods, the Orishas, fall silent, T'Challa embarks on a quest to find them, leading to the return of his sister Shuri from the mystical Djalia and a climactic confrontation with the classic villain Ulysses Klaw. This volume is celebrated for its lush world-building, literary prose, and the stunning visual design provided by artists like Brian Stelfreeze and Chris Sprouse.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Features the complete "A Nation Under Our Feet" epic, a foundational story for modern Black Panther lore.
  • Written by acclaimed author and MacArthur Genius Ta-Nehisi Coates.
  • Introduces major new characters and concepts like the Midnight Angels (Ayo and Aneka), the Djalia, and Zenzi.
  • Showcases the rebirth and evolution of Shuri as a major spiritual and political power in Wakanda.
  • Successfully integrated Marvel Legacy numbering, with the series concluding at the historic milestone of issue #172.
  • Visually defining artwork by Brian Stelfreeze, who overhauled the aesthetic of Wakandan technology and culture.
