It's issue #122. Black Panther wasn't in that issue, but Luke Cage and
Misty Knight were.

Well, this is one of the reasons why I don't like Reggie Hudlin's
writing at all, his themes, ideas and concepts make no damn sense
whatsoever.
One of the most consistent themes in BP's lovelife, in every
incarnation of his graphic novels and his comic series is the tension
he feels between finding a mate and statisfying the various ethnic and
political forces in his nation. Originally, he was WITH monical Lynne,
and she eventually left because the whole nation hated her guts for
being a foriegner and an outsider.
When Priest got to Panther he did a fantastic take on this with the
'wives in waiting' Dora Milaje as ceremonial ways of keeping the
various ethnic groups appeased with his potential wives. The idea of
Storm, who is NOT Wakandan (and given how proud and militaristic
Hudlin's version of Wakanda is I'd imagine they're even LESS friendly
to outsiders) AND a mutant being his wife is insane. He should at least
acknowledge the tension between his love and political duties. Then
again, that would require Hudlin to do some character development and
actually create a backstory to what is going on in Wakanda. Too much to
ask i guess.

I admit I am not a Black Panther reader but I have skimmed thru the
comic while on the shelf so I got a basic idea of whats happening.
Racer you make some good and valid points but I want to ask.
Is it really insane for him to marry a mutant? Does Wakanda have a
prejudice/fear of mutants like in America?
Storm does also have the advantage of being a goddess to some african
tribe (I assume it was not wakanda) so a marriage could occur based on
political alliance reasons. Which is a common practice with royalty.
Besides her powers would be an obvious asset and benefit to the
populace. Especially in times of drought
Now if T'Challa had to have a political marriage with an Asgardian,
Altantean, or even Inhuman. THAT would be interesting to read and make
me pick up the book.
Shanna the She Devil as mate/consort has fun possibilities as well.
or if the King is really a Queen but must marry a Queen to bear him a
future King.

There's a problem with Shanna marrying Black Panther...she's already
married to Ka-Zar and they have a kid...of course, in this book, there
is every possibility that that would be ignored.

I highly doubt that the Shanna mini is in continuity...especially
given that the story states the guys named her after a comic book
character...I'm pretty sure it's a stand alone but, even if it's not,
it's an entirely different character who only resembles the
original...they could both exist in the MU.
