Five national editions for you to enjoy the power of the Black Panther

The adaptation of the Black Panther in the Marvel cinematic universe (or Marvel Cinematic Universe - MCU) is already among us. The character debuted in "Fantastic Four" in 1966, and has since changed a lot. What continues from the beginning is his duality between Wakanda's reign and heroism with the Avengers, as well as T'Challa's insight and incredible superhuman abilities - see the special in which we comment on his sensational insane costume.

For those who want to know a little more before going to the movies or prolonging the fun after the session, here are some of the good stories that can be found in the bookstores, comic shops and online stores of the publishers who published them in Brazil.

1. Black Panther - A Nation Under Our Feet (Panini Comics)

Ta-Nehisi Coates is a journalist very committed to the causes of African Americans in the United States. And when he was summoned by Marvel Comics to write a hero's bow, many people already knew it would have links to the movie - which touches deeply on the political side of T'Challa.

Alongside talented designer Brian Stelfreeze, the plot is closest to the current MCU approach, including Wakanda's description of an extremely evolved nation.

2. Black Panther - Who is the Black Panther (Salvat)

Whoever sees Black Panther's success in theaters today can't imagine exactly that he has always alternated good and bad times in the Marvel Comics universe. And one of the character's good twists was at the hands of Reginald Hudlin and legendary designer John Romita Jr. Here you can see a more root T'Challa, without the use of armor and gadgets, protecting his kingdom from invaders.

It is a story more focused on Wakanda - which was feared by "black magic" and "witchcraft" simply because it is at least 500 years more technologically advanced than the rest of the earth.

3. Black Panther - The Black Panther's Fury (Salvat)

Screenwriter Donald McGregor was one of the big names behind Marvel's ethnic and racial activism during the 1970s. It was with him that the Black Panther gained engaged adventures against racism, discrimination and other issues that come up when we talk about a superhero. black hero in a white-dominated society.

To get an idea, it was with him that Pantera fought the Ku Klux Klan. And in this issue we see a bit of T'Challa's rivalry with Erik Killmonger, who is also in the adaptation.

4. New Avengers - Parallel Worlds

It's so much fun to see the Black Panther, the king of such an evolved nation, having to interact with the Avengers, especially with Namor. Both have respect for each other but also a great rivalry. This schism causes many conflicts in the group of the New Avengers, known as Iluminatti, at a very delicate time for all the heroes of the Marvel universe.

After reading this you will want Namor to appear in the MCU in the future, just to have a fight with Panther. Hickman's script and the traits of Simone Bianchi and Rags Morales greatly enhance the entertainment.

5. Secret Wars (2015)

The Second Secret Wars acts as a "soft reboot" and brings together all the mythology of Marvel Comics in a kind of "Game of Thrones" plot, with the Fantastic Four and Doctor Destiny in the center of the hurricane. And here we have heroic moments for each of the publisher's main highlights.

The Black Panther's moments throughout the saga are sensational, including the moment when he, the King of the Dead, summons a legion to battle - Aragorn-style, in The Return of the King. It's the pinnacle of reworking that Jonathan Hickman created with the infinity space opera and ending fabulously, with the epic art of Esad Ribic and covers by Alex Ross.

I hope you enjoyed. Christopher Priest and Mark Texeira's famous stages and marriage to Ororo Munroe (the X-Men Storm) were missing, as well as other good bows, but I chose to select the editions that are easiest to find in Brazil today. Still, be sure to comment on the stories you like best and are not here, after all, the purpose is precisely to share the best this character has ever brought - and will bring - to fans of superheroes.
