Guest-starring the Black Panther! Something creepy is stalking a S.H.I.E.L.D. station in the Savage Land! When Eric and T'Challa investigate, the hunters become the hunted!

Meanwhile, Eric Masterson’s deteriorating state reaches its most dangerous point yet.
The Bloodaxe’s corruptive power begins to overwhelm Eric emotionally, amplifying his aggression and clouding his judgment during battle.

As his behavior becomes increasingly erratic, Jackie Lukus and others close to him grow more alarmed — realizing they may soon lose Eric to the very force he has been trying to resist.

This issue sets the stage directly for the Bloodaxe transformation arc that erupts shortly afterward.
