Wakanda invaded in BLACK PANTHER 4...

"Now that the back story has been set, the invasion of Wakanda is about to begin! Issues #4, #5 and #6 feature non-stop action delivered by the powerful pen of John Romita Jr.," enthuses writer Reginald Hudlin. "Since the debut of the new BLACK PANTHER series, I've gotten amazing support from retailers, top caliber artists, mainstream press, and most of all, the fans, who have taken a cult character and turned him into a top-selling book."

Indeed, both the comic book community and mainstream have trumpeted Hudlin's BLACK PANTHER series -- retailers are reporting sell outs from Los Angeles to London, and stories on the book have appeared in Time, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, USA Today and Vanity Fair.

In BLACK PANTHER #4, Klaw unfurls his carefully orchestrated siege on Wakanda and there's no place to hide. Cutting a swathe through Wakanda's ground forces: the Rhino and Batroc. Slicing through Wakanda's aerial defensives: the Black Knight. Striking a blow where no one would ever expect: The Radioactive Man. Wakanda's protector has never faced a challenge like this. Can the Black Panther persevere?

The issue is penciled by the always amazing John Romita Jr., and features a cover by the Astonishing X-Men's John Cassaday!
