Black Panther #4

In "The Deadliest of the Species Part 4," Wakanda trembles as Morlun lays waste to the Man Ape's kingdom, testing the limits of T'Challa's resolve. As the living face the impossible, T'Challa seeks counsel from his father in the gateway to the afterlife, while Shuri confronts the Panther God—only to be denied. Storm, driven by love, steps into the realm of the dead to find her husband. Written by Reginald Hudlin and illustrated by Ken Lashley, with inks by Paul Neary and colors by Paul Mounts, this pivotal issue sees the fate of Wakanda hanging in the balance. The cover, by J. Scott Campbell, captures the moment’s intensity.
