Issue 18 of the comic, out on February 8th, will contain part one of Who is The Black Panther? by Reginald Hudlin, John Romita Jr, and Klaus Janson, that first appeared in the Marvel Knights Black Panther No.1 in 2005. The Panther will also be headlined on the cover, taking over from Champions which is currently featured. The reason for the change of course is because the Black Panther movie debuts next month, but it's still great to see one of Marvel's most interesting heroes back in newsagents.

Meanwhile, issue 17 of MWOM is currently on sale, featuring a cover by Neal Adams.
The first appearance of the Black Panther in a British comic would have been in the last few issues of Fantastic in 1968, which reprinted a crossover between the X-Men and The Avengers. As the X-Men reprints were ahead of some other Marvel reprints, any British readers who weren't buying American comics wouldn't have seen the Panther's debut in the Fantastic Four, or his initiation in The Avengers, so his sudden appearance as an Avenger in Fantastic must have puzzled a few people.
