Marvel is continuing to expand its Black Panther franchise. This time around, they will be launching a comic series based on the “Black Panther,” villain Killmonger.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new comic series will focus on the history of Erik Killmonger. The five-issue series will be by Bryan Edward Hill and Juan Ferreyra.
Hill said in a recent interview with Vulture, “I didn’t want to just recap what we had heard in his mythology. I wanted to explore the choices and the failures that lead a person to dedicate their life to revenge, and how that happens. Because with Erik, I feel like it’s really a tragedy. It’s a story of a guy who was failed a lot by Wakanda in certain ways, by the people he met outside of Wakanda, by his own conscience in other ways, and I wanted to paint a portrait of that.”
Killmonger was originally killed back in 2008 in “Black Panther” No. 38 and has remained dead since. “Killmonger” is set to release in December.
As we previously reported, Black Panther’s sister Shuri is also getting her own comic book series, which is scheduled to release next month.
