Black Panther: The Deadliest of the Species by Reginald Hudlin

New York : Marvel Publishing, 2009.

Since time immemorial, the African nation of Wakanda has repelled any invading force and every would-be colonist, fiercely defending its independence. With its advanced society and bountiful natural resources, Wakanda has always been a formidable nation, a realm ruled and defended by none other than the Black Panther.

T’Challa, the current Black Panther and ruler of Wakanda, is deep in a coma, brutally injured by unknown assailants, leaving the proud nation susceptible to its many enemies. With Wakanda's foes gathering and the country's protector debilitated, Queen Ororo chooses the next Black Panther ¡ but will her nomination be capable of completing the requisite trials?
