Empyre :: Invasion Of Wakanda

"Invasion Of Wakanda" was a three-issue limited series by writer Jim Zub and artist Lan Medina, intended to tie-in with the main Empyre event. Issues #1 and #2 were slated for the months of May and June respectively, while the third issue was probably planned for a July release, but due to the shutdown, no solicitations were released in April to confirm this.

Marvel is no longer making any references to this limited series, and although not officially announced yet, it looks like it has been cancelled. Below are the details for the first two issues that were solicited in February and March, and their covers by Dustin Weaver.

**UPDATE: Marvel released a final Empyre checklist on June 25. This title is no longer included.

The heart of Wakanda -its mighty store of Vibranium- comes under threat as the villains of Empyre launch their invasion of Earth! Black Panther's Agents of Wakanda form the front line against the alien invasion, but the enemy's powers are vast and unknown. With T'Challa off fighting alongside the Avengers, General Okoye is in charge, and even with the superhumans are her disposal, she may find herself outmatched.

Empyre: Invasion Of Wakanda #2
(June, 2020)

Alien weapons, psychic spirits, ancient magic. T’Challa prepared for war, but not even he could have foreseen the forces now brought to bear against his homeland. If the Great Vibranium Mound is lost to these invaders, our planet will follow… Yibambe!
