Rise Of The Black Panther by Evan Narcisse, Paul Renaud, Paul Renaud, Stéphane Paitreau and Joe Sabino was a new origin story that lead to the MCU's Black Panther film. These six issues were meant to reintroduce the character's origin to pave the way for Chadwick Boseman's seminal portrayal of the King of Wakanda on screen. The comics start by laying out the foundation of Wakandan society -- from its social isolation, history of the Black Panther, and how it's technological advancement is governed by a mysterious transformative metal called Vibranium. Vibranium is also the source of the Black Panther's power -- tea made from herbs that have mutated from the Vibranium that's leeching into Wakanda's ecosystem is what gives Black Panther his powers.
In the first issue, T'challa learns of his father's dealings with Captain America, Hydra, and his father's death at the hands of a mercenary named Klaw, played by Andy Serkis in the Black Panther film. T'Challa has been faced with his countries isolation in a major way and from a young age, pondered about taking his country down a new path. Now as Wakanda's new King, T'Challa is setting out to do just that.
T'Challa is coming to terms with Wakanda's place in the Marvel Universe. From Gods like Thor coming down to Earth and the likes of Galactus trying to eat the planet, the Black Panther believes it's unacceptable for a country with technological superiority such as Wakanda's to sit on the sidelines and do nothing. Meanwhile, T'Challa has learned Wakandans are going missing and he sets out to investigate.
His investigation leads him to a crashed vessel occupied with Namor and his fellow Atlanteans. They discover that rogue Wakandans and Atlanteans have been working together to steal Wakanda's secrets. This was the last straw for T'Challa. He realizes that this situation proves that it's Wakanda's isolation that puts a bullseye on their back for these kinds of aggression. This is when T'Challa makes some moves and gets Wakanda a seat at the United Nations. However, this also brings Wakanda into the world's spotlight and attracts unwanted visitors like Dr. Doom who tries to take the Black Panther's throne while he was away politicking with the United Nations.
Black Panther and Shuri are able to repel Dr. Doom from Wakanda, but it doesn't take long for Erik Killmonger to show up at the doorstep and wage war on the throne. Killmonger wants to start a world war just so Wakanda can be the ones who finish it and rebuild Earth's nations under its iron fist. The Black Panther is able to diffuse the Vibranium bomb in time with the help of the White Wolf -- leader of Wakanda's secret security forces. However, Killmonger escapes before he can be brought to justice.
Rise Of The Black Panther streamlines T'Challa's story for a new audience while simultaneously introducing the character of his long-awaited silver screen appearance. This comic also brings the new Black Panther origin full-circle in issue #6 by citing 1959's Tales of Suspense by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Gene Colan. Captain America returns to help the Black Panther -- which solidifies this new story's place in Marvel's history. This story also directly sets up T'Challa's path to becoming an Avenger where he plays a vital roles in crossover epics like Empyre in the future.
