Review/plot:
With comic relief characters (and former, now captured, Killmonger henchmen) Tayete and Kazibe in tow, Black Panther follows Killmonger into the forbidden land.

Killmonger wants to put King Cadaver on the Resurrection Altar to mutate him further.

The Panther is knocked out by another of Killmonger's lieutentants, a man named Somber who has an acid touch.

The Panther wakes up to find himself attacked by wolves.

He defeats the wolves but is alone in the forbidden land.

Meanwhile, Monica Lynne tries reaching out to the wife of a man killed in the battle from last issue. A lot going on in that scene - in addition to the woman's grief we see a suspicion of the modern advances that T'Challa is bringing to Wakanda as well as a suspicion of Monica herself since she is an outsider.

As always, the story here is very dense, with lots and lots of text. It's a lot more to read than the average comic, but it's rewarding.

Pretty neat to see T'Challa operating in an arctic as opposed to the more-accustomed tropical environment. I must say as well that Erik Killmonger has one mighty Marvel mullet!
