The Avengers #356

In "Death In a Gathering Place," the Avengers arrive in Wakanda just as the mysterious Gatherers enact a deadly ritual to save Coal Tiger—alternate Earth-355’s last remaining Avenger—by sacrificing the Black Panther. As the ritual unfolds, Coal Tiger, haunted by the cost, begs the Swordsman to intervene, and when he does, the consequences are irreversible. Written by Bob Harras and illustrated by Steve Epting with inks by Tom Palmer, this pivotal issue features a haunting cover by Epting and Palmer, capturing the moment of tragic choice.
