I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Black Panther Vol 7: The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda Part Two by Ta-Nehisi Coates (Writer), Rev Walker (Artist), Marc Deering (Inker), Stephane Paitreau (Colorist), Java Tartaglia (Colorist), Jen Bartel (Artist), Triona Farrell (Colorist), VC"s Joe Sabino (Letterer),


Set in the Intergalactic Empire that the Wakandan's have taken over and mined Vibranium.  The Imperials are the highest caste and claim to be the blood of the descendants of the Empire of Wakanda.  The Miners, aka The Nameless, are the those subjected to work in the mine who have had their memories wiped.  The Askari is both the police force and the arm of the Wakandan slave trade. Hated by the Nameless and looked down on by the Imperials they are made up of different races often conquered by Wakanda.  The Rebels, aka The Maroons, are those who fight back and are made up of the nameless and are led by Captain N'Yami of the Starship Makandal.  The Askari attack the home base in high numbers and they are forced to flee. A powerful slave named Manifold attacked them while they were leaving.  T'Challa grabbed the famous spear and it responded to him which just goes to show that he is the chosen one. N'Yami dies in the battle and years pass and T'Challa is no closer to getting his memories back.  He feels something for Nakia too but can't go forward without knowing his history.

They are after their memories and forcing the Wakandans into giving them to them.  They steal their vibranium and kidnap high ranking officials.  When they steal the vibranium there are refugees on board the ship and T'Challa insists on rescuing them.

But the biggest task will be to go to Agwe, home of the Teku-Maza whose Jengu holds the memories of many societies.  The Wakandans want her too to destroy her to keep her from telling anyone what she knows.  A man named Farouk helps them with this quest.

The King of Wakanda's daughter has appeared to them with the god of Bast controlling her.  The King of Wakanda is a god who has stolen her powers but she aims to steal them back.  Manifold, aka Eden, is on her side and is helping them now.  Will T'Challa ever find out his history and what will it be?  Can they defeat the Wakanda?   This comic takes a sense of identity to a whole new level and how a good society can go bad.  I give it five out of five stars.
