One of the most important to fall is T’Challa, the Black Panther himself, who was bitten by Blade - who has becomea major villain- when the Bloodcoven attacked the Avengers. Now working against his will for the coven, while still desperately trying to hold onto his humanity, T’Challa is in search of a secret temple that holds the key to Blade’s plans.

While on a mission as an agent (or perhaps double agent?) of the vampire leader, T’Challa is warned by Bast herself about the true nature of his enemy, the wrath of the Gods and the danger of bringing his bloodlust to Wakanda… PLUS: T’Challa reignites a feud with a familiar foe!”
