The Last Annihilation: Wakanda #1

Part of Marvel's 2021 "The Last Annihilation" event, this one-shot brings Wakanda's fight to a cosmic scale, with a cover by Philip Tan that makes the stakes viscerally clear. Black Panther looms large against a backdrop of shattering, fiery devastation, his glowing eyes fixed forward while a female warrior in blue Wakandan armor stands ready below, energy crackling in her hands — and the enormous, stoic face of what appears to be a towering cosmic threat fills the space between them. Writer Evan Narcisse and artist Germán Peralta team up for "Orphans of Empire," a story that positions Wakanda not just as a nation to be defended, but as a force that answers the call even among the stars.
