Free Black Panther comics: how to start reading

The death of Chadwick Boseman still echoes loudly in the superhero world. So much so that, when his death was reported through Twitter, the El Sol medium reported that a Guinness Record was given as the tweet with the most “likes” in the history of the social network.

In this same sense, there are still some unknowns about how his character will continue in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Qué Ver website mentions that "the plans" they had for the Wakanda superhero were changed, so for the sequel that was stipulated, the company must make decisions to explain his absence.

However, the fact that the hero known as "Black Panther" may disappear from the cinema does not mean that he does not have a huge place in the world of comics. So much so that, to pay tribute to him, the specialized medium Genbeta revealed that, officially, "hundreds of free comics" of Black Panther were put on Comixology. Let's see, then, how to take advantage of this situation and how to get started in the comics of this hero.

In addition, it has applications for iOS and Android, so you can watch the comics digitally from any device. However, on this occasion, you will be able to remember or learn the stories of the Wakanda superhero for free.

Despite the fact that there are series from different brands, the Gizmodo website mentions that Marvel decided to include its huge catalog in 2017 on this platform. Therefore, it offers you a "separate" price or a subscription model, although it is something optional in the case of the Black Panther character.

When you enter the Comixology website, you will be able to navigate between the different options to add the stories that appear for $ 0 to the cart, that is, at no cost, so you will be able to see it on your different devices.

Tónica's specialized website mentions that the character was created in 1966 by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, trying to represent a hero who could be born in Africa, causing many people to identify with him. Thus, the stories of the fictional nation of Wakanda, a technological vanguard hidden in the African jungles, are known.
