The final chapter of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ years-long, character-redefining run on Black Panther begins in February. Black Panther has been absent from Marvel’s publishing schedule since the coronavirus pandemic shipping pause earlier this year. It returns in 2021 as it heads to the end of the story by the MacArthur Genius Grant-winning writer, who penned a tribute to Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman following the actor’s unexpected death. Black Panther #23 sees Coates re-teaming with artists Daniel Acuña and Ryan Bodenheim and continuing from where the story left, with T’Challa entangled in the cosmic events surrounding the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda
