MARVEL COMICS FIRST LOOKS: BLACK PANTHER: WORLD OF WAKANDA #1

Written by: Roxane Gay, Yona Harvey, Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Art by: Alitha E. Martinez, Afua Richardson.

Covers by: Afua Richardson, Brian Stelfreeze, Natacha Bustos, Alitha E. Martinez, Khoi Pham, John Tyler Christopher.

Description: Wakanda, the African country and home of the Black Panther, is the most sophisticated and technologically advanced nation on Earth. Its influence reaches across all of the Marvel Universe.

Writer Roxane Gay makes her Marvel Comics debut alongside Ta-Nehisi Coates and artist Alitha E. Martinez to spin a Wakandan love story -- its tenderness matched only by its brutality. You know them now as The Midnight Angels, but before that they were just Ayo and Aneka, young women recruited to join the Dora Milaje -- an elite task force trained to protect the crown. Even if it means their lives. What happens when your nation needs your hearts and minds, but you’ve already given them to each other?

Additionally, the first issue will feature a 10-page backup story from poet Yona Harvey and Coates with artist Afua Richardson that explores the origin of Zenzi, the mysterious leader of The People, the group currently causing so much unrest in Wakanda. T'Challa thinks he knows who Zenzi is and how she got her powers, but he only knows part of the story.

Pages: 40.

Price: $4.99.

In stores: Nov. 9.
