Black Panther Vol.1 - Who is Black Panther

The Wakandan super hero is back with Hollywood heavyweight Reginald Hudlin and fan-favorite John Romita Jr. teaming up to deliver a new take on T'Challa that's sure to excite both True Believers and the hip-hop faithful. The Black Panther's origin is retold here in cinematic scope with social satire and all-out action.

Deep in the heart of Africa is Wakanda, a technologically advanced civilization of great power and mystery. During the last ten centuries, Wakanda has stood alone as an unconquerable land inhabited by undefeatable warriors. Governing this nation is a lineage of warrior-kings possessing enchanced speed, stenght and agility. Today, T'Challa is the latest in this famed family line, the great hero known worldwide as the Black Panther.

Now, outsides are once more assemling to invade Wakanda and plunder its riches. Leading this brutal assault is Klaw, a deadly assassin with the blood of T'Challa's murdered father on his hands, who brings with a powerful army of super-powered mercernaries. Even with Wakanda's might and his own superhuman skills, can the Black Panther prevail against such a massive invading force?

Hollywood heavyweight Reginald Hudlin (House Party, Boomerang) and fan-favorite artist John Romita Jr. (Wolerine, Amzing Spider-Man) team up to deliver a taut, politcally charged thriller Ain't It Cool New has lauded as "better than watching a really great hour-long television drama."
