Following the untimely death of the fierce Black Panther (2018), grieving Queen Ramonda and noble Princess Shuri struggle to find their feet in a world eager to strip Wakanda of its precious vibranium resources. But one year after the death of King T'Challa, the country faces yet another threat. This time, King Namor, the mutant leader of an unstoppable oceanic warrior race, is determined to protect the hidden underwater kingdom of Talokan from the surface world at all costs. And as the invaders' suffocating stranglehold tightens, Wakanda must prepare to fight--with or without its valiant defender.—Nick Riganas
