![]() ![]() I already enumerated every Black Panther omnibus Marvel is releasing this year in great detail in my last piece, but let’s quickly recap: all the classic material is either published or mapped the upcoming Black Panther by Christopher Priest Omnibus Vol. As I teased last time, however, though modern collections tend to focus on a single author or run and are thus much more easy to envision, there are a few surprises left. It was a complex process, despite T’Challa not having too many comics to his name back then… or perhaps because of it! With the entire piece dedicated to that era, I promised I’d return to cover the modern material, which is-as is often the case-quite a bit easier. ![]() In my previous Omnibussin piece, I charted the ways Marvel could collect Black Panther’s comics from the mid-70s to the mid-90s in omnibus format.

Once they become a part of the BA, the Sol Triad sometimes negotiates with kaiju to help with operations that need their muscle. Kaiju have a natural impulse to protect the planet, so getting the kaiju to defend their homeworlds doesn’t take much convincing, which in turn means they have a significantly stronger military force than the BA does (at least on the defensive side of things).
