The Black Panther! kicks off with T'Challa returning to Wakanda to find a mountain village rising up against the throne, led by a defiant figure known only as Erik Killmonger. Written by Don McGregor and brought to life by Rich Buckler’s dynamic art, with Klaus Janson’s inks and Glynis Wein’s colors, this epic clash at Warrior Falls sets the stage for a battle of legacy and destiny. The cover by Gil Kane and Klaus Janson captures the intensity of the moment, making this a standout entry in the Black Panther saga.
In "Panther's Rage," the Black Panther returns to Wakanda only to find a mountain village rising in rebellion, its leader claiming the name Erik Killmonger. At Warrior Falls, the two face off in a clash that ends with the Panther thrown from the cliff’s edge—his fate uncertain.
In "Death Regiments Beneath Wakanda," Jo confronts a growing insurgency near Warrior Falls, uncovering a hidden vibranium mine beneath the jungle floor. When attacked by the venomous Venomm, the Panther must navigate the treacherous tunnels and the shadows of rebellion to protect Wakanda’s secrets.
In "Panther's Rage Continues: But Now the Spears Are Broken," Black Panther faces a deadly threat in the jungle when he rescues Kantu from a charging rhinoceros. As Baron Macabre unleashes the dead to challenge him, the battle turns personal when Zatama falls and Monica is framed for the murder—leaving the Panther to untangle a web of deception and violence.
In "Panther's Rage Continues: King Cadaver Is Dead and Living in Wakanda," Black Panther confronts the lingering threat of King Cadaver in the heart of Wakanda’s hidden cemetery, facing off against both the undead monarch and the sinister Baron Macabre—only to uncover a deeper betrayal when he discovers Killmonger has been raiding the nation’s armory.
In "Panther's Rage: Blood Stains on Virgin Snow!", Black Panther is captured by Killmonger’s forces and left for dead in the frozen expanse of the Land of Chilling Mists, where wolves stalk the snow. Stranded and outnumbered, he must survive the brutal wilderness—where every breath is a battle and every shadow hides danger.
In the dense, treacherous heart of the Forest of Thorns, Black Panther faces off against Salamander K'Ruel, one of Killmonger’s deadly operatives, as ancient dangers stir beneath the canopy. With the jungle itself a living threat, the warrior must survive both the assassin’s cunning and a sudden, brutal clash with a prehistoric predator.
In "Of Shadows and Rages," Killmonger launches a brutal assault on Central Wakanda, bringing his army, assassins, and prehistoric beasts into the heart of the jungle. As the Panther confronts him at Warrior Falls, the tide of battle shifts in a moment of unexpected defiance—Kantu steps forward, forcing Killmonger to the edge.
