Black Panther #32

Black Panther and Storm stand shoulder-to-shoulder at the center of this striking 2008 cover, backed by the raw power of the Thing and a blazing Human Torch — all four surrounded by a ring of green-skinned, fedora-wearing gunmen closing in from every direction. It's a tense, outnumbered setup that makes "Gangsta Lean Part 2 of 6" feel like it hits the ground running. Cover pencils and inks by Billy Tan, with interior work from Reginald Hudlin, Francis Portela, and Andrea DiVito rounding out a solid creative team.
