The upcoming issue of Black Panther #8 features an exciting battle between T’Challa and Monet St. Croix, a member of the X-Men. In the preview, T’Challa is on a mission to investigate missing Wakandan citizens, which leads him to the Wakandan vacation home of Cartier St. Croix. Monet St. Croix, also known as M of the X-Men, is Cartier’s daughter, and she is not pleased to see Black Panther breaking into her family’s home, even accusing him of being an imposter.
Despite the X-Men being fugitives and, on the run, Monet, being the formidable foe that she is, decides to take on Black Panther. The battle between the two is brief, but Monet proves to be a challenging opponent for T’Challa.
It is important to note that Black Panther is not Marvel Studios’ first black superhero, as the company decided to go with the Ultimate version of Nick Fury played by Samuel L. Jackson. However, Black Panther has become a tremendously important legacy character for Marvel fans and an important icon in pop culture for people of the African diaspora all over the world.
In other news related to Marvel, the Fall Of X Saga continues with various releases including Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #3; Uncanny Spider-Man #2; Uncanny Avengers #3; Dark X-Men #3; Jean Grey #3.
Eve L. Ewing, the writer of Black Panther, has expressed excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to write such a marquee character. She sees it as a big responsibility, especially since the character has become one of the most important icons in pop culture for people of the African diaspora all over the world.
Overall, the upcoming issue of Black Panther #8 promises to be an exciting read for fans of the character and the X-Men alike. It will be interesting to see how the battle between Black Panther and Monet St. Croix plays out, and how it will affect the larger story of T’Challa’s investigation into missing Wakandan citizens.
