Storm is visiting a group of Wakandan children when they witness T'Challas aircraft crashing into the city. She searches through the rubble and finds her badly burned husband at death's door. She does not know that the Black Panther has just been visiting Namor who has invited him to join Norman Osborn's cabal and Dr. Doom who has tried his best to kill him. With T'Challa in a coma, the leaders of Wakanda discuss choosing a new Black Panther.
