Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda writer Jim Zub that the Marvel Comics ongoing series has ended with the𒁏 release of July 8's #8. The series initially went on hiatus along with most of Marvel's titles – and the rest of the comic book Direct Market – back in April, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
A spin-off of the core Avengers series, Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda featured T'Challa leading a specialized side-team of Avengers veterans and new recruits with an expertise in global espionage. Running for eig🥃ht total issues, a limited series spin-off tying into Marvel's upcoming summer event series Empyre was also planned, though Zub has confirmed that title has been scrapped.
"As far as I know, today's release of Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda is our final issue," reads Zub's tweet marking the conclusion of the series. "Empyre: Invasion of Wakanda is no longer set to ☂be completed or released and there won't be any more issues of the core series. Not ideal, but I'm proud of what we put together."
Empyꦺre: Invasion of Wakanda was a planned three-issue limited series that would have focused on the effect of the attack of the unified Kree/Skrull empire on the secret utopian African nation of Wakanda.
Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda #8, now available, was originally scheduled for release on April 1, and was the last issue of the series solicited. The spin-off Empyre: Invasion of Wakanda was also initially planned to release in April, and is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:one of several Empyre tie-in s💖eries canceled following Marvel'💃s re-solicitation of the core Empyre series.
