This January, Marvel Comics will celebrate 200 issues of Black Panther in the pages of Black Panther #3 from writer John Ridley and artist Juann Cabal with an over-sized issue marking the milestone and celebrating the past, present and future of T’Challa and Wakanda.
BLACK PANTHER #3 will be an oversized issue with bonus stories celebrating the past and foreshadowing the future of the Black Panther and the world of Wakanda. Ridley will also introduce a new hero who rises up to protect the people of Wakanda while T’Challa finds his life and role as Black Panther thrown into turmoil! Fans will be able to witness the beginning of this new hero’s journey before seeing him become a key player of Ridley’s run in future issues.
In addition, the main story in the 200th issue of BLACK PANTHER will see T’Challa face off against the X-Men! With assassins closing in and Wakanda’s faith in him shaken, T’Challa goes to visit Storm on the newly terraformed Mars. But this will not be a happy reunion as T’Challa has ulterior motives for his visit. And back home, Shuri discovers who is behind the attacks on Wakanda’s secret agents — a revelation that will change everything.
Along with the above cover from Alex Ross, Black Panther #3/#200 will include the following variants from artists Taurin Clarke and Gary Frank…
