Klaw brings with him a powerful army of super-powered mercenaries, all hell-bent on raining death and destruction on this pristine land. Even with Wakanda's might and his own superhuman skills, can the Black Panther prevail against such a massive invading force? Collecting BLACK PANTHER (2005) #1-6, plus T'Challa's historic first appearances from FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #52-53.
