The Black Panther 2 movie is on the way and we’re all curious as to where they’re going to focus the story now that Chadwick Boseman is sadly not with us. And if you can’t resist the desire and want to get started with the character, we tell you how to start reading the Black Panther comics in the best possible way. As you will see, you have a few good starting points published in Spanish and you will arrive more than prepared for the second part of the film.
Black Panther has become one of the most popular superheroes thanks to the MCU movie, which has also been one of the highest grossing Marvel movies. And that it was not bad if we skipped that final fight that seemed made by a computer from the 90s.
Therefore, if you have become a fan of the character, we show you where to start reading the Black Panther comics.
Interestingly, we are not going to give you one, but three entry points to the character, explaining each one so you can see which option best suits you.
Let’s go with the classic, which should be the initial recommendation.
Who is Black Panther? The most classic start
If you are one of those who wants to start at the beginning, then you should start reading the Black Panther comics with this volume of Marvel’s Must Have collection published in Spanish.
There the stage of Reginald Hudlin and John Romita JR is collected. It is the most classic beginning of the character and you will not fail entering his universe here, however, it is not the only possible beginning.
Black Panther: Empire
If you want the current, in this volume you will find numbers from 1 to 6 of the new Black Panther that Marvel has published , modernizing and bringing the character to the present. Or rather, bringing it to the future rather.
Because in this beginning, forget about the Kingdom of Wakanda, that’s past, now it’s the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda. Ta-Nehisi Coates offers us a kind of mix of Star Wars and Black Panther that is not bad , but you are still a little surprised.
However, this will start with the current vision of Black Panther that the comics company has.
Black Panther, Christopher Priest stage, personal recommendation
Probably, and although everyone has their opinion on this, the best Black Panther is Christopher Priest’s. Therefore, it is essential that, if you like the character, you read it.
It is true that Priest gives it a very peculiar sarcastic tone and a somewhat different approach and structure to the usual superhero comic. But it’s really good. In fact, if you’re only going to read one thing from the King of Wakanda, this better be it. Not all 500 pages of the tome keep up, but it’s well worth it.
Maybe you throw it at my head or maybe you love it, but I think it’s okay to risk a little.
And then, to continue, if you have started from the first door, you can find the following volumes ( The Panther’s Bride I think is the one that continues, but I quote from memory because my Internet provider is bothering me these days and I don’t I can get into almost nothing to confirm).
In short, if you are a fan of T’Challa, now you know how to pay tribute to the king while you wait for the second part in theaters. And remember… Wakanda forever .
