Imperial War: Black Panther #1

Black Panther storms onto the cosmic stage in this opening issue from writers Victor LaValle and Jonathan Hickman, with artist Cafu and colorist David Curiel bringing the interior to life. The cover by Francesco Mortarino presents T'Challa in a striking ceremonial battle suit — dual blades drawn, a flowing pink-and-gold sash billowing behind him — crouched on a rocky precipice and ready for whatever clash looms above. Framed against a starfield backdrop, a fierce lineup of armored alien warriors trades blows in a galaxy-spanning conflict that promises Black Panther's world is about to get a whole lot bigger.
