Black Panther #28

Part one of "Hell of a Mess" arrives with a cover that sets a striking, unsettling tone: Black Panther — his suit scorched and tattered — stands his ground against a monstrous, flame-wreathed rocky creature, while a white-haired woman looks on in the background. Arthur Suydam's painted cover work gives the whole scene a visceral, almost hellish atmosphere that feels right at home in Marvel's 2007 Initiative era. Reginald Hudlin and Francis Portela are at the helm, promising this three-part arc is off to a genuinely compelling start.
