Last year, Marvel and Lexus partnered for the special series BLACK PANTHER: SOUL OF A MACHINE, and fans can now enjoy the story in an exciting new way with the release of a motion comic version, which includes the addition of sound effects and music.

In BLACK PANTHER: SOUL OF A MACHINE, when the cybernetic artificial intelligence, Machinesmith, infiltrates all of Wakanda’s systems, the very existence of human civilization is threatened. It is up to six Wakandan science apprentices and six Takumi Masters, working with Black Panther and his sister, Shuri, to create the ultimate machine to stop Machinesmith’s flawed, but deeply felt, vision for integrating man and technology into harmonious perfection.
