Black Panther #57

Crouched in the tangled canopy of dark, ivy-wrapped branches, the Black Panther watches from the shadows with burning amber eyes — Liam Sharp's 2003 cover is atmospheric and genuinely unsettling in the best way. This is part one of a two-part arc titled "Coming to America," promising a transatlantic shift in setting for T'Challa with writer J. Torres and artist Ryan Bodenheim at the helm. If you like your Black Panther brooding, predatory, and ready to strike, this is a fine place to start that story.
