Black Panther is an ongoing Marvel comic book series written by Eve Ewing with Chris Allen and Craig Yeun on art and Jesus Aburtov on color art. The first issue debuted on June 14, 2023 and serves as a continuation of the 2021 series of the same name.T'Challa has officially hit Rock Bottom. Stripped of his crown and banished from his own homeland by the new Prime Minister of Wakanda, T'Challa has begun solemnly Walking the Earth. While the former King was able to reconcile his relationship with the Avengers whose trust he once betrayed, T'Challa is still left with a single question weighing down his spirit: If he is no longer King, who is he?Venturing on a quest of self-discovery to find his answer, T'Challa has smuggled himself back into Wakanda and now secretly prowls the streets of Birnin T'Chaka, a city seated on the edge of the Jabari-Lands that carries the infamous reputation of being the closest thing this powerful nation has to a true Wretched Hive.

Afrofuturism: Unsurprising given how this franchise is generally regarded as the Trope Codifier, but Ewing gives this genre a darker twist through the debut of Birnin T'Chaka, a crime-infested Wakandan city that lacks the abundance and affluence of the shining metropolises that previous runs have shown before, resulting in a gloomy neon-drenched environment that feels more like Night City than the Wakanda everybody knows and loves.

comment
Wretched Hive: Birnin T'Chaka is a deathly cold, cyberpunkish, Urban Hellscape where the only positive trait they have on paper is that the citizens living here generally have the bare necessities they need in order to live. But the manufacturing industry that brought life into their community has all but disappeared, their living conditions are essentially on par with a favela, the people here are more politically divided than ever over the nation's transition into a democracy, and organized crime syndicates partially comprised of the now defunct Hatut Zeraze have an iron grip on the city. T'Challa, having spent much of his life within the affluent capital of Birnin Zana, is ashamed that he had no idea that life here was so grim and notes that the state of affairs is probably happening in other Wakandan Cities just like it.

City Noir: Eve Ewing herself has expressed in interviews how her run on Black Panther will channel the Noir genre. Relocating T'Challa to a Wretched Hive within Wakanda's borders, writing his inner thoughts in the flavor of a Private Eye Monologue, and emphasizing street-level adventures akin to the time T'Challa protected Hell's Kitchen in Daredevil's absence.

Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life

Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Ultimately the reason why T'Challa relocated to Birnin T'Chaka even though it violates the terms of his exile. His collective transgressions costing him both his loved ones and his crown has shaken T'Challa to the point where he questions his own life's purpose and whether or not he truly knew the people he once governed. While he claims to fight crime in Birnin T'Chaka to symbolize how the Black Panther will always defend the people of Wakanda, it is also an opportunity for him to reconnect with the people from a street-level perspective instead of a position of unchecked authority.

Continuity Nod: This series is set after the events of The Avengers (2023), where T'Challa was welcomed back into the Avengers by Carol Danvers as a chance to atone for his previous betrayal of the team back in Black Panther (2021). While T'Challa notes that he would never admit it to their faces, he is genuinely thankful that they took him back regardless of his transgressions and does greatly value his friendship with them all. N'Yobi Umaru is the son of Changamire, the Wakandan philosopher who debuted in the A Nation Under Our Feet storyline by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

comment
Good Old Ways: To reflect his new dedication to street-level vigilantism in Birnin T'Chaka, T'Challa's new Black Panther suit is significantly more low-tech and homespun than the sleek Adaptive Armor he's usually wears. Right down to utilizing physical vibranium spears and throwing knives instead of Hard Light equivalents.

comment
Crusading Lawyer: N'Yobi Umaru is a small-time defense attorney who regularly works pro-bono for the people of Birnin T'Chaka. As a result, N'Yobi is treated as a hometown hero by his community and rarely has to pay for the services of the people he has represented. Unfortunately, this also means N'Yobi is barely making ends meet and is already in trouble with a Loan Shark who has been sending Cyborg goons to shake him down.

0% Approval Rating: Surprisingly downplayed. While the politicians of Birnin Zana like Prime Minister Folasade and former separatists like Tosin hated T'Challa and treated him and the monarchy he represented as the root cause of Wakanda's turmoil, their perspective isn't universally shared by the actual citizens. There are still people like N'Yobi who are staunch admirers of T'Challa and the royal family as well as a very vocal number of activists who have their own fair share of criticisms regarding the new Parliament.
