In the wake of T’Challa’s death, the question of who will ascend to the throne of Wakanda has become a central focus in the Marvel Universe. Marvel Knights: The World to Come, a new six-issue series, delves into this mystery, set decades after the influential run by Christopher Priest and Joe Quesada in 1998. This earlier run introduced key characters like Everett K. Ross, Nakia/Malice, Zuri, Okoye, and the Dora Milaje, and now, Priest and Quesada are poised to add another significant figure to Wakanda’s rich mythos.
Joe Quesada hinted at the excitement and intrigue surrounding the upcoming series, particularly in Marvel Knights: The World to Come #2. He teased that the second issue would be even more surprising than the first, revealing that Wakanda will have a new Queen and a new heir to the throne. This development promises to shake up the status quo and introduce new dynamics to the kingdom’s leadership.
Looking back, Quesada reflected on the launch of the Marvel Knights imprint in 1998, which included titles like Daredevil, The Punisher, Inhumans, and Black Panther. The series was known for its edgier style and innovative storytelling, which set it apart from other Marvel publications at the time. Despite initial uncertainties in a struggling comic book industry, the series garnered significant fan support and left a lasting impact on the Marvel Universe.
In October 2017, Christopher Priest revisited his original vision for T’Challa and Wakanda, proposing an idea that Quesada found both insane and beautiful. This new project not only celebrates the original Marvel Knights series but also pushes familiar characters into uncharted territories. Quesada expressed his enthusiasm for the project, comparing his enjoyment to the early days of drawing Marvel Knights Daredevil 1. The collaboration between Priest and Quesada promises to deliver a compelling narrative that will captivate fans and reshape the future of Wakanda.
