Black Panther #7

Tied to Marvel's sweeping 2005 House of M crossover event, this issue of Reginald Hudlin's run drops the Black Panther into a radically reshaped world — and Kaare Andrews's cover makes the tension immediately vivid. Under a full moon and scattering autumn leaves, T'Challa presses a furious, white-bearded opponent to the ground in an intense, close-quarters confrontation that radiates urgency. With interior art by Trevor Hairsine and inks by John Dell, "Soul Power in the House of M" promises a sharp, atmospheric chapter in T'Challa's story.
