Black Panther – A Nation Under Our Feet | Comics

Things are not like they once were for King T'Challa of Wakanda as his nation has been ravaged by Atlantean Prince Namor during Avengers/X-Men War, there was an invasion of The Black Order which caused a huge loss of life (Infinity) and then Incursion of Worlds happened, which almost saw end of everything (Secret Wars). As his own people cast him out for his failure, his loyal Dora Milaje had left him too. T'Challa's sister Shuri took his place momentarily but after her fight with Cabal, she was stuck in a coma-like stasis.

This state of hers forced T'Challa to become King of Wakanda once again and he returned as Black Panther as well. At the Great Mound, he goes to respond to a situation regarding workers and tries to inspire Vibranium miners working there but he sees hate in their eyes as someone was manipulated them from within. Seeing the person responsible for this chaos, he gives chase but she vanishes after turning the crowd against their King. Seemed overwhelmed at first, T'Challa deals with them and by then her scent gone stale.

On the Golden City of Wakanda, Aneka, former captain of Dora Milaje is given a death sentence by Queen Mother for killing a chieftain for his lechery on helpless females of his village to which her lover Ayo tries to defend her by trying to justify Aneka's actions by explaining that situation. She even showed footage of that event to appeal for sparing her life as she did what was demanded by honor. However, the Queen Mother remains adamant in her decision stating it is her duty to make the tough but right decisions here.

T'Challa returns home and shares concern about his recent encounter with a soul-stalker to Queen Ramonda. When discussed about the incident that took place at Great Mound with council of tribal of elders, T'Challa is informed about his deceiver's identity. It is revealed that she is an enhanced named Zenzi, who was once a captive of Killmonger, who barely escaped by turning her captors against each other. T'Challa senses a deep conspiracy of some superhuman terrorist group trying to cause a violent uprising among his people.

Zenzi is currently working with Tetu; leader of a new Wakandan rebel movement called The People and a shaman with powers to manipulate forces of nature around him. Tracking her down on Nigandan Border Region, Black Panther reaches to confront her after trashing many of Nigandan Army soldiers. While he goes to confront her, T'Challa was overwhelmed by the images of Shuri cast by Zenzi that keep haunting him for failing to save his sister. He was finally able to overcome the effects but the deceiver was gone.

Meanwhile, Aneka is rescued by her lover Ayo in the Midnight Angels suit from her cells and together, they start vigilance on every oppressor who abuses helpless women. They start by rescuing a group of hostage women from a compound in Northern Wakanda by killing all bandits. When Aneka and Ayo was away, White Gorilla Army and ravaged whatever left there. In retaliation, Aneka lured out their leader Lord Mandla AKA Man-Ape to a distant cave where the Midnight Angels were waiting for him and killed him.

Despite all of his best efforts, T'Challa fails to bring back his sister from her "living death" state. Inside her construct of amber, Shuri's soul eventually transcended to a plane called The Djalia, where she was guided by an apparent spirit of Ramonda. Tetu's rebellion of The People plans a suicide bombing with help from Ezekiel Stane, which injured Queen Ramonda. To tackle these overwhelming threats from the inside of his nation and beyond, Black Panther summons help from his friends at The Crew, consisting Luke Cage, Manifold, Misty Knight and Storm.

In past, the sacred land of Wakanda has been attacked by Latverian tyrant Doctor Doom (Doomwar), a Devourer of Totems; Morlun (The Deadliest of The Species) and even The Mad Titan; Thanos but it always stood up at its majestic feet and now Marvel Comics picks National Book Award winning writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and sensational artist Brian Stelfreeze to re-invent Black Panther in all his Wakandan glory for an all-new age of readers. The storyline "A Nation Under Our Feet", contains issues #01-12 from sixth monthly ongoing volume of Black Panther and divided into three separate books.

Sword For Lions

The King of Wakanda faces trouble not from the outside world but from within his own nation, while he also struggles with her sister being trapped in a state between the living and the dead. For long, he has already been in conflict with his inner self about the actions he took during "Time Runs Out" with his allies in The Illuminati. Needles to say that "A Nation Under Our Feet" story arc is primarily focused with the thought of introducing new readers of the series to prepare themselves for 2018's Black Panther movie from Marvel Cinematic Universe and create an appeal to them for this character.

With the artists team of Jim Cheung (Avengers – The Children's Crusade, Avengers & X-Men – Axis), Jerome Opeña and Dustin Weaver, Marvel Comics have had comic-book writer Jonathan Hickman (Secret Wars, Time Runs Out) concoct the 2013 major crossover comic event “Infinity”. Issues from many other monthly ongoing series like Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel, Fearless Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, Mighty Avengers, Nova, Secret Avengers, Superior Spider-Man Team-Up and Thunderbolts also served as the tie-in issues of this cosmic Marvel adventure.

Rumor has it that even though the 2018's Marvel Cinematic Universe live-action release of Avengers: Infinity War takes the legendary "Infinity Gauntlet" arc as their primary plotline, 2013's "Infinity" crossover event will also shape the film's plot to a modern setting. Elements from the crossover such as introducing the Black Order as lackeys of Thanos in the film to do his bidding is possibly one of such. Instead of Black Order, his lackeys are referred as Children of Thanos in the film and Black Dwarf among them is named Cull Obsidian, which is actually an alias for Black Order in the comics.
