The books
Black Panther by Christopher Priest Omnibus Vol. 1
Book 1 of 2 · Heroes Return, Modern Dawn
T’Challa sets up in New York as a visiting head of state rather than a guest hero.
See reading checkpoints9781302945015Planned edition#1–33#44#2Marvel Double-Shot #2 contributes “Masks,” Priest and Paolo Rivera’s Doctor Doom story, rather than a Black Panther episode. Treat that portrait of Doom as a companion to Priest’s work; it does not fill a gap in T’Challa’s numbered series.
