Black Panther: The Man Without Fear #520

Part two of "Storm Hunter" arrives with a cover that perfectly captures the tension between two Marvel powerhouses — a battered Black Panther crouches in the foreground, claws extended and mask bloodied, while Storm hovers above a debris-strewn Hell's Kitchen street, white hair streaming and a crackling orb of electric energy blazing in her outstretched hand. Simone Bianchi and Andrea Silvestri render the confrontation with moody, steel-toned detail that makes the stakes feel genuinely weighty. David Liss continues the arc alongside artist Jefte Palo and colorist Jean-François Beaulieu, and this 2011 chapter of The Man Without Fear makes a compelling case that T'Challa's street-level era was something special.
