JOE QUESADA AND CHRISTOPHER PRIEST INTRODUCE THE FUTURE KING OF WAKANDA IN MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME #2

Check out the cover for the second issue of MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME, the new series from visionary creators Joe Quesada and Christopher Priest launching this June.

This June, two industry titans present a new vision of the Marvel Universe in MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME! Both founding creators behind the Marvel Knights, Joe Quesada and Christopher Priest reunite alongside color artist Richard Isanove to tell an all-new epic through the lens of the groundbreaking Marvel Knights imprint. Set in the future, the six-issue series introduces new versions of Marvel heroes as well as those that follow in their footsteps! Today, fans can learn more with the reveal of the series’ second issue, on sale this July.

THE WORLD TO COME and how it got that way is revealed! Uncover the shocking developments that led to the death of the T’Challa and the dark truth behind the conflict erupting across the globe. What secrets await in Mexico? What role did Everett K. Ross play in the King of Wakanda’s fall and, most importantly, who is T’Challa’s heir?!

On returning to both Marvel Knights and Wakanda storytelling, Priest, one of the most influential Black Panther writers, said, “It would take a very special event to bring me back to this wonderful world given birth by the Marvel Knights crew, and Joe Quesada’s brilliant expansion on those themes allows us to bring the Marvel Knights era full circle to a poignant, hilarious, terrifying, and electrifying conclusion as both King T’Challa and co-creators face the inevitable approach of sunset and transition. Brought fiercely to life by Joe’s tour de force art and stunning colors by Richard Isanove, I could not have possibly asked for a more fitting coda to my career-highlight work with the comic industry’s undisputed leading African character.”

When asked about the second issue, Quesada said, “There’s not a lot I can say without revealing too much. So what I can say is that if you think issue 1 was insane, issue 2 has even more unexpected twists and turns, because Wakanda has a new Queen and soon there will be a new heir to the throne.”
