Black Panther #1

In "The Deadliest of the Species Part 1," a wounded T'Challa lies near death after a crash in Wakanda, leaving Storm devastated and the nation in crisis. With the Black Panther incapacitated, Wakandan leaders must decide who will take up the mantle, even as shadows from outside the kingdom begin to stir. Written by Reginald Hudlin and illustrated by Ken Lashley, with inks by Paul Neary and colors by Paul Mounts, this pivotal issue marks the beginning of a new era for Wakanda, all framed by J. Scott Campbell’s striking cover.
