Christopher Priest and Joe Quesada reunite to present their vision of the future, Marvel Knights style!
The King of Wakanda is dead, leaving unguarded the world’s most advanced technology, its most precious metal and a cryptic vault of dark secrets — while triggering global conflicts among Marvel’s heroes, villains and mutants. With T’Challa gone, a final tribal challenge for the Wakandan throne will determine the future of the Marvel Universe. But what is happening in Mexico? And what does Everett K. Ross have to do with it? MARVEL KNIGHTS visionary creators Joe Quesada and Christopher Priest (BLACK PANTHER) present THE WORLD TO COME — and the shocking secrets of how it got that way!
COLLECTING: Marvel Knights: the World to Come (2025) #1-6.
"Priest has been using The World to Come to slowly peel back the layers of how rulership has weighed down who T’Challa really is… His end story for the character has felt more akin to Citizen Kane or The Godfather than The Dark Knight Returns or its endless copycats." - Comics Beat
"Truly distinctive and engaging." - KBP Comics
"Delivers on high-level storytelling few others reach." - Nerd Initiative
"Shakespearean tragedy with a biting edge." - AIPT
