Fantastic Four - Vol 3 - #608 - 2012 - City of the Dead - (VFN)

The epic conclusion to the two-part "Whose War?" storyline. This issue cements T'Challa’s radical transformation from the previous issue and serves as the ultimate prologue to Jonathan Hickman's legendary Avengers and New Avengers saga, drawing a direct line toward the collapse of the Marvel Multiverse.

Fresh off his encounter with the Panther Goddess Bast, T'Challa embraces his new, eerie destiny as the King of the Dead. But there is no time for celebration. Deep within the shadows of the Necropolis—the Wakandan City of the Dead—an ancient, otherworldly threat tied to the realm of the dead must be answered.

Alongside Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), T'Challa must wield his newly granted powers—which include the collective strength, skills, and memories of every historical Black Panther—to defend the sacred ground.
