Black Panther #23

The concluding chapter of "Cat Trap" arrives in style, with Sal Velluto and Bob Almond's cover packing in a tremendous clash — Black Panther and a sword-wielding Deadpool square off against a massive, monstrous creature, while Iron Man, Captain America, She-Hulk, and a winged figure round out the chaotic scene below. Writer Priest brings his sharp storytelling to this Marvel team-up extravaganza, guest-starring Deadpool and the Avengers for a finish that clearly pulls no punches. If you've been following along since Part 1, this 2000 issue delivers exactly the kind of crowded, energetic showdown the cover promises.
