“Death In a Gathering Place”

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.

The Gatherers' newest recruit-to-be, Coal Tiger, is dying due to his transition from his home Earth-355 to Earth-616. Coal Tiger is an alternate version of Black Panther and the last remaining Avenger from his universe. In Wakanda, the Gatherers defeat the Black Panther and begin the process of "gathering" that will save Coal Tiger but kill the Panther. Coal Tiger is disgusted by the Gatherers actions and pleads with the Swordsman to help. The Swordsman stops the process and Coal Tiger dies. The Avengers arrive and drive off the Gatherers but manage to capture the Swordsman.
