Solo Avengers #19

In "Desert Doom," Black Panther faces a deadly supernatural threat in the desert, aided by Philip Whitehead, an old college friend whose loyalty is tested in the heat of battle. With art and story by Sandy Plunkett—whose distinctive style brings both the eerie menace and emotional weight of the moment to life—this issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash where sacrifice leaves a lasting mark. The cover, by Sandy Plunkett and Alan Weiss, captures the moment of peril with stark, dramatic flair.
