Full publication history with the solos....

With BPvsDP ending, here is a look at how the T'challa centric minis line up...

The T'challa led Avengers...

Vibranium Sword, Avengers, vol 8, #17

Black Panther vs Punisher, Elektra, and Daredevil (Marvel Knights: 20th #5-6)

Story: Marvel Knights: 20th Anniversary #5-6

Background: Due to mind erasing comic book stuff, T'challa ends up in the same room as Punisher, Daredevil, and Elektra (and Bruce). The trio come in peace, saving T'challa from villains. However, T'challa remembers something in his past and attacks, resulting in a brawl.

[Scan Tip: Click to enlarge the images and they are easier to read. You can scroll through them all that was as well. --- Shadow]

Superhero brawl ends after the misunderstanding is over and T'challa stops beating their ass long enough to go find the real bad guy(s).
