"DEADLIEST OF THE SPECIES," PART 4
Something bad happened to T'Challa. Wakanda stands at the brink as an unstoppable force advances toward the gates of the city: Morlun -- Devourer of Totems -- is back, and he's here to feast on the Panther totem. Wakanda's only hope is the new Black Panther...if she's worthy to inherit the mantle. And the only one who can determine that is the Panther God.

Doomwar (2010) #1

Wakanda has been conquered, its Vibranium reserves plundered. Storm faces execution in the next 48 hours. And Dr. Doom stands triumphant. It will take the combined forces of the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and the two Black Panthers to stand against him. A war has begun that will pit the world's most relentless super-villain against a collection of the world's most powerful super heroes -- one that will span the globe, offering twists and turns and surprise players (hello, Deadpool!) that neither side will see coming.

Black Panther (2016) #8

VOYAGE INTO THE DJALIA. T?Challa?s research and technology takes him to a place that not even THE CREW can follow: THE DJALIA, Wakanda?s collective memory. Just getting there was hard, but finding SHURI across their nation?s past, present and future might turn out to be impossible. Even so, the strain on his Soul-Stalker abilities might tear him apart before he gets very far?

Shuri (2018) #1

FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE BLACK PANTHER! The world fell in love with her in the movie. Now, the Black Panther's techno-genius sister launches her own adventures - written by best-selling Afrofuturist author Nnedi Okorafor and drawn by Eisner-nominated artist Leonardo Romero! The Black Panther has disappeared, lost on a mission in space. And in his absence, everyone's looking at the next in line for the throne. But Shuri is happiest in a lab, surrounded by gadgets of her own creation. She'd rather be testing gauntlets than throwing them. But a nation without a leader is a vulnerable one - and Shuri may have to choose between Wakanda's welfare and her own.

Wakanda (2022) #1

The Black Panther is no longer welcome in Wakanda! Who is this proud nation without its king? This exciting new miniseries answers that question as each issue spotlights a different fan-favorite Wakandan character. First up: Shuri proves that being without the Black Panther doesn’t mean Wakanda is without heroes to protect it - and that there is a reason she too once wielded the power. Plus, part one of the “History of the Black Panthers” backup story, providing for the first time anywhere a definitive overview of every Wakandan who has ever held the mantle of the Black Panther!
