Black Panther: Intergalactic

In the wake of IMPERIAL, T’Challa returns to the stars!

Following turmoil in the cosmos, the Black Panther faces the challenge of uniting all of his kingdom — on Earth and across the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda! Before he can begin, though, someone — or something — steals him away to a mysterious planet where T’Challa must fight for his life! He’s trapped off world, face to face with an enemy he’s never encountered before and a technological threat even Wakandan science may not be able to overcome. And his best hope of rescue, his sister Shuri, has been mysteriously abducted as well and faces her own battle for survival while trying to track down T’Challa. To what lengths must they go to discover who sits at the controls of this deadly new threat? And with the king and princess distracted, will someone else seize the title of Emperor of Wakanda?!
