Black Panther by Reginald Hudlin: The Complete Collection #1

In "Who Is the Black Panther? Part One," the shadowy machinations of the NSA and the ruthless ambitions of Ulysses Klaw converge as global forces eye Wakanda’s secrets. With tensions rising and a team of mercenaries gathering, the fate of the hidden nation hangs in the balance.

In the shadow of Wakanda’s ancient jungles, T’Challa grapples with the weight of his legacy as the Black Panther, a mantle earned through blood and sacrifice. Now, as the National Security Agency plots a secret incursion into his homeland, the line between protector and target grows dangerously thin.

In the present day, the shadow of a past assassination looms over Wakanda as Klaw—once a man driven by vengeance and now enhanced by sonic technology—rises again, assembling a dangerous team and securing the support of the ruthless Nigandan dictator M'Butu. Fifteen years after the murder of King T'Chaka and his eldest son, the echoes of that betrayal stir a new threat to the Black Panther’s throne.

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 Queen Ramonda captive, and the Black Panther pushes the fight into the heart of Niganda and M'Butu. With U.S. military cyborgs—known as Deathloks—descending on the kingdom, the stakes rise in a battle where loyalty, legacy, and survival collide.

In "Who Is the Black Panther? Part Six," T’Challa faces a storm of threats as he defends Wakanda from a relentless assault. With his mother in danger and enemies like Klaw and the Radioactive Man threatening to destroy the nation’s heart, Shuri and the Black Knight’s Ebony Blade become key to survival—while a terrifying possession alters the fate of a trusted ally.

In "Wild Kingdom Part Two: House of Paine," T'Challa and the X-Men are drawn into the turmoil of Niganda after its leader, Prime Minister M'Butu, vanishes, leaving the nation teetering on the edge of collapse. As strange, monstrous creatures emerge from the shadows, the team races to uncover the truth behind their creation—linked to the rogue scientist Dr. Erich Paine and his twisted experiments.

In "Wild Kingdom Part Four: Jungle Boogie," T'Challa leads a fierce alliance in Niganda as the X-Men join forces with Wakanda’s warriors to thwart the Red Ghost’s sinister plan, backed by his Super-Apes and the enigmatic Dr. Erich Paine. With danger boiling in the jungle and tensions rising, Storm makes a pivotal choice that reshapes her path—leaving the X-Men behind to answer a new call in Africa.

In "Two the Hard Way Part One," T'Challa’s quest for a suitable partner leads him to New York, where a polite but firm no from Monica Lynne sets off a chain of unexpected encounters. When he crosses paths with Luke Cage, T'Challa extends an unexpected offer that could reshape both their paths.

In "Two the Hard Way Part Two: Indecent Proposal," T'Challa faces a dangerous proposition when Fu Manchu—now known as Han—offers his daughter, Kwai Far, as a bride, testing the Black Panther’s resolve. With help from Luke Cage and Shang Chi, Kwai Far’s brother, T'Challa must defend Wakanda’s honor when the offer turns to violence.

T'Challa and Luke Cage arrive in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, drawn by a growing threat that threatens to overwhelm the city’s already fragile recovery. Together with Blade, Brother Voodoo, and Monica Rambeau, they must confront a rising tide of vampires preying on the vulnerable.

In "Bride of the Panther Part One," T'Challa reflects on his history with Storm during a journey that brings Luke Cage back to New York. Returning to Africa, the Black Panther makes a heartfelt request, asking Storm to marry him.
