Black Panther #33

T'Challa tears through the cover itself — claws sparking against the surface as the Black Panther lunges directly at the reader with fierce, glowing eyes — making this Sal Velluto and Bob Almond cover one of the series' most viscerally striking compositions. Issue #33 brings Christopher Priest's run to the conclusion of "Seduction of the Innocent" with that same combination of kinetic energy and sharp craft that defined this creative team's work together in 2001. If you've been following Priest, Velluto, and Almond's Wakandan saga, this closing chapter is exactly where you want to be.
