A Nation Under Our Feet Synopsis

Brand-new foreword by rapper and activist Killer Mike
Presented in a newly designed book-format edition

National Book Award-winning author Ta-Nehisi Coates (Between the World and Me) and acclaimed illustrator Brian Stelfreeze revolutionize the Black Panther mythos in this powerful graphic novel that blends high-tech futurism with the resonate themes of modern day.

As esteemed author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates brings his considerable talents to Marvel, will he usher in a new age of glory for Wakanda and its king, T'Challa, A.K.A. the Black Panther? Or will he enter the proud kingdom into its final days?

The high-tech African nation has been ravaged by outside forces, its queen has fallen and the people have turned against their king. As dissidents seek violent change, two of T'Challa's own Dora Milaje forge their own brave path. And while outside forces pour fuel on the fire, the Black Panther recruits his own crew to aid in the struggle.

Meanwhile, on the spiritual plane, a journey of transformation begins. This is a story of a king who must find a new way to lead. Of a queen whose tale is not yet fully told. Of angels fighting for change and devils fomenting chaos. Of allies and enemies, friends and foes, love and hate. This is the story of Wakanda.
