The mighty Black Panther is left with only one option, an option that goes against the sacred decrees of his people - to ask for help from outsiders. There's only one team to turn to... The Avengers - Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Giant Man, Wasp and the Incredible Hulk. These mightiest of heroes have battled the aliens before and barely survived. They thought it was over. They were wrong.
