This is a book that might actually be better received if you didn’t read what came before. But there’s only a passing reference to the Empire, and the nature of democracy is explained in one panel. Sure, it would be helpful to be familiar with the last 5 years of Black Panther stories, as T’Challa lost the faith of his people, regained it by creating a democracy, left for space to locate some time-displaced Wakandan astronauts, and returned the owner of an intergalactic empire that he liberated from the descendants of those lost space explorers.
