Coates's first comics work opens his long run on Black Panther with Wakanda in crisis: a superhuman movement calling itself The People is fomenting revolt against the throne, suicide bombers strike at the capital, and T'Challa must hold a nation that is questioning whether it still wants a king. The volume closes with the 1966 issue that introduced Black Panther to comics, letting readers set Coates's political reimagining beside the character's origin.
