Black Panther #5
In "Who is the Black Panther? Part Five," the fate of Wakanda hangs in the balance as the Radioactive Man targets the nation’s Vibranium mound, Klaw holds Ramonda captive, and the Black Panther pushes the fight into the heart of Niganda and M'Butu. With the U.S. deploying the chillingly relentless Deathloks—cyborgs forged from fallen soldiers—the stakes reach a fever pitch. Reginald Hudlin’s gripping narrative, brought to life by John Romita Jr.’s dynamic art and Klaus Janson’s sharp inks, culminates in a pivotal chapter of the Panther’s defense of his homeland. The cover by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson captures the intensity of the conflict in bold, striking detail.
