 Sunday Slugfest - Black Panther #1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
It strongly implies that the outside world knows nothing of Wakanda and the Black Panther, and that we’re about to see an origin tale for T’Challa, yet it also implies that this is set in the modern day, and as such, thirty years of Marvel continuity (specifically Avengers continuity) is on shaky ground.

Prior to the 1980s, Wagonga Lake, south of Willmar, was known as Lake Waconda, and this week, the Kandiyohi County Board approved a resolution to rename the lake, "Lake Wakanda," which is the proper spelling according to the Dakota language.
Wakanda means "to reckon as sacred or holy." The recommendation now goes to the State of Minnesota.
And the sacred Dakota word/or name Wakanda (sometimes spelled Wahkonda) and Wakantonka (sometimes spelled Wahkontonka) are also sacred Dakota names that I am especially dedicated to delivering from being desecrated or demeaned, as was the name of Lake Wakanda while it was being mis-pronounced and consequently mis-spelled.

 Black Panther #2 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Plot: As the various government officials continue their discussion about Wakanda, their conversation moves to the Black Panther, and then the book jumps back to the tribal ritual where T'Challa became the new Black Panther after he defeated the former Black Panther (his uncle) in an annual hand to hand combat ceremony.
These characters are painted as little better than war mongering goofs who don't seem to have any agenda beyond acting as a thinly veiled poke at the current administration.
This is a shame because having America concerned about Wakanda is a plot element that could've been produced a far more intelligent and compelling discussion.
