Marvel debuts the first look of the last Black Panther, a character who will be featured in the upcoming Marvel’s Voices: Wakanda Forever one-shot.
A first look at the upcoming Marvel’s Voices: Wakanda Forever one-shot introduces the very last Black Panther of Wakanda.
Originally announced at New York Comic-Con, Marvel’s Voices: Wakanda Forever is a new one-shot releasing in February. The title comes with five different stories about heroes from Wakanda, all of which come from a team of talented Black creators. One of the stories is written and drawn by Juni Ba and features the debut of the last Black Panther. The first-look preview is set far off into the future and shows readers a very different, seemingly apocalyptic version of Wakanda.
