BLACK PANTHER-WHO IS THE BLACK PANTHER?

BLACK PANTHER-WHO IS THE BLACK PANTHER?

"Reginald Hudlin took the first black superhero to the top, where he belongs." – Charles Johnson, author of the National Award-winning novel Middle Passage.

“It's so perfect to have an African superhero. Black Panther has the potential to affect people in the real world." – Ziggy Marley

Deep in the heart of Africa lies Wakanda, a technologically advanced civilization of great power and mystery. During the last ten centuries Wakanda has never been conquered as it is inhabited by invincible warriors. This nation is ruled by a generation of warrior-kings who possess increased speed, strength and flexibility. Today, T'Challa is the last in this illustrious family tradition, the great hero known worldwide as the Black Panther.

Now, outsiders are gathering again to invade Wakanda and plunder its riches. This vicious attack is led by Klaw, a ruthless assassin with the blood of T'Challa's murdered father on his hands, who brings with him a mighty army of superpowered mercenaries. Will the Black Panther be able to prevail against the massive invasion force?

Hollywood heavyweight Reginald Hudlin (House Party, Boomerang) and beloved artist John Romita Jr. (Wolverine, Amazing Spider-Man) join forces to create a politically charged thriller, which the website Ain't It Cool News praised as "better than watching a really good drama series on TV."
