The company did exactly that for Thor: Love and Thunder, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with these issues, often giving fans a peek into different costumes or character debuts that have the fanbase excited.
With the Marvel Cinematic Universe 30th film just on the horizon, and slated to release this November, it is time for that tradition to once again arrive, as Empire has released the first look at their Black Panther: Wakanda Forever issue.

What is automatically breathtaking about the first look at the project is the costume design that fans can take in which has one aspect that was previously unseen.
On the cover are Letitia Wright’s Shuri, and Angela Bassett’s Ramonda, both in garb that we have seen at various points in the film’s promotional campaign.
Next to them, however, is Namor, king of Atlanteans and one of the most exciting MCU debuts of Phase Four.

This depiction of the character is shown with a traditional headpiece that seems to signify the character’s royal standing, and it is an absolutely stunning design that points to the direction that the studio has taken with its adaptation.
On the secondary cover for the Empire issue that has also been revealed is a closer look at that specific headpiece, which is intertwined with various images that inspired the adaption of Namor and the people of Atlantis.

Namor should be one of the most interesting parts of the upcoming film, as it presents a character that has long been one of the most interesting in the Marvel comic book universe.
