Black Panther by Reginald Hudlin: The Complete Collection #2

In "World Tour Part Two: Fly Me to the Moon," Black Panther and Storm are called to the moon to confront a crisis: Quicksilver has stolen the Terrigen crystals, and the Inhumans are preparing to invade Earth, with the U.S. government now in possession of the stolen power. As tensions rise, Black Bolt reveals the shocking truth about the ongoing enslavement of the Alpha Primitives, deepening the moral rift. T'Challa and Storm return to Earth with more questions than answers, the stakes higher than ever.

In "World Tour: Part Three: Aqua-Boogie," Black Panther and Storm journey to Atlantis, where Namor shares a forgotten chapter from the past—his encounter with T'Challa’s grandfather during World War II. As the trio reflects on legacy and conflict, the weight of the present Civil War draws Black Panther into a pivotal role within the resistance.

In "World Tour: Part Four: Inside Man," Black Panther and Storm attempt a high-stakes diplomatic meeting with the U.S. President—only to be ambushed by Iron Man and Sentinel Squad ONE. As tensions flare, T'Challa makes it clear he won’t leave American soil until the Civil War is resolved, standing firm against both the machines and the man behind them.

In "War Crimes: Part One," T'Challa finds himself at odds with both the global political fallout of the Civil War and the growing pressure from Wakandan advisors who accuse him of abandoning his nation. As the media turns against him and the Thor clone's actions cast a shadow over his legacy, Black Panther teams up with Captain America to navigate the escalating conflict—where loyalty, justice, and strategy collide.

In "War Crimes: Part Two," Storm declines an audience with Iron Man, while the Panther reaches out to allies on Captain America’s side during the escalating Civil War. As the U.S. government launches war games near Wakanda’s shores, Storm turns to her grandparents for guidance before setting off to speak with Mr. Fantastic.

In "War Crimes: Part Three: Thunder and Lightning," T'Challa and Storm stand at the heart of a fractured conflict, battling alongside Captain America’s dwindling forces against Iron Man’s advancing army. With the Thor Clone unleashing fury on the battlefield, the stakes rise as loyalties are tested and alliances unravel. When the smoke clears, T'Challa delivers a sobering truth: they’re no longer backed by Captain America.

In "Two Plus Two Part One: Home Invasion," T'Challa and Storm take refuge in the Baxter Building after the destruction of the Wakandan Embassy in New York, temporarily joining forces with the Fantastic Four as Reed and Sue step back. With the team reshuffled and the stakes rising, the uneasy alliance between royalty and science begins to take shape.

In "Two Plus Two Part Two," Black Panther teams up with the New Fantastic Four after their first mission ends in chaos—only to face a monstrous invader from the Negative Zone in the Baxter Building. With no conventional solution in sight, T'Challa calls on the Solomon Frogs to teleport the group to a Skrull world on the edge of a zombie invasion, where danger is just beginning to unfold.

In "Hell of a Mess Part 1 of 3," the New Fantastic Four find themselves stranded on a Skrull world, hunted as invaders while battling a nearly indestructible Negative Zone bug monster. When a horde of Galactus-powered zombies descends, their survival becomes a race against both alien war and an unstoppable apocalypse.

In "From Bad to Worse Part 2 of 3," Jo and the New Fantastic Four wake up in a twisted alternate reality where nothing feels real—but survival is painfully, terrifyingly real. Trapped in a world where panicked Skrulls flee from a horde of zombie-like creatures wielding Galactus’s power, they must navigate a nightmare that feels all too tangible.

In "Absolutely No Way to Win," part three of a climactic arc, the New Fantastic Four face an overwhelming threat as Galactus-powered zombies and their newly recruited Skrull allies converge on a doomed planet. With no hope of victory, the team makes a desperate retreat, teleporting away just as the world faces annihilation.

In "Dead or Alive Part 1," Black Panther is ensnared in a mind-bending trap by Psycho-Man, forcing him to confront illusions that blur reality and perception. When the danger passes, the Solomon Frogs whisk the new Fantastic Four into a parallel world where Skrulls live out lives echoing the mob-ridden glamour of 1930s Earth.

In "Gangsta Lean," part of Reginald Hudlin’s Black Panther: The Complete Collection #2, the Black Panther, Human Torch, and Thing are captured on a bizarre world where Skrulls masquerade as 1930s American gangsters—some of whom aren’t thrilled to see the Thing, who’s been here before and left a messy impression. With Storm scouting for help, the trio must survive a high-stakes underworld where loyalty is as fleeting as a bullet.

In "Ready to Die," part of Reginald Hudlin’s Black Panther run, T'Challa, the Panther, is thrust into a brutal arena fight alongside the Torch and the Thing, forced to entertain the gangster Skrulls. Meanwhile, Storm uncovers a quiet but powerful shift among the Skrull people—one that rejects the violent spectacle of the past and embraces the ideals of the 60s African American civil rights movement, setting the stage for something new.

In "Endgame Conclusion," Storm and her African American Skrull allies launch a daring rescue to free Panther, Torch, and Thing from a brutal arena, marking a turning point in their fight against a corrupt Skrull gangster regime. As the New Fantastic Four help reshape the future of the Skrull underworld, they use the Solomon Frogs to return home, carrying the weight of a new beginning.

In a possible future glimpsed through the Watcher’s eyes, Wakanda’s global influence reaches new heights following the union of T'Challa and Storm. As Storm shares a quiet moment with her youngest son, T'wari, she gently urges him to attend the wedding of his older brother, T'Chaka, to Danielle Cage—linking two powerful legacies in a moment that echoes across time.
