Black Panther’s adventures in space continue in ‘Black Panther: Intergalactic’

The four-issue miniseries by Victor LaValle and Stefano Nesi begins in December.

Victor LaValle and Stefano Nesi will continue the story of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda in a four-issue miniseries titled Black Panther: Intergalactic.

The miniseries spins out of Imperial and the Imperial War: Black Panther one-shot, which LaValle co-wrote with Imperial architect Jonathan Hickman. The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda was a concept created by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Daniel Acuña during their run on Black Panther, where present-day Wakandans went into space to research the origins of Vibranium and ended up going back in time and starting a galactic civilization

“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,” LaValle said.

SDCC | She-Hulk, Nova + more ongoings will spin out of ‘Imperial’

‘Planet She’Hulk’ and ‘Nova: Centurion’ lead the pack in November.

At the San Diego Comic-Con today, Marvel revealed that Jonathan Hickman, Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini’s Imperial miniseries is not only redefining the Marvel cosmos, but is also serving as the launching pad for five new ongoing series starring Nova, She-Hulk and more.

If you’ve been paying attention to the one-shot tie-ins for the event, you can probably guess the five series:

  • Planet She-Hulk by Stephanie Phillips and Aaron Kuder
  • Nova: Centurion by Jed MacKay and Alvaro Lopez
  • Exiles by a to-be-announced creative team
  • Black Panther: Intergalactic by to-be-announced creative team
  • Imperial Guardians by to-be-announced creative team

All five series are being set up in the Imperial War one-shots, with the first two debuting in November.

“This is a story that unites all the disparate and separate powers of the galactic portion of the Marvel Universe—the Kree, the Shi’ar, the Skrulls, and more—all in one big science-fiction epic, set up in a series of Russian nesting dolls where in every issue, something is pulled off, and something is revealed behind the thing you just learned the last time out. It’s an all-out cosmic war,” Marvel Execuitve Editor Tom Brevoort said.

Here’s a look at the two announced titles:
