Rated T+
This is maybe the best issue yet of Ultimate Black Panther, and Caselli's artwork, featuring colors by David Curiel, is a major selling point. Read Full Review
Ultimate Black Panther #4 is a consistently fun issue that goes for trim but comes off as a bit hollow. The quality of what occurs in the issue is without doubt, the dynamic between Okoye and Shuri is worth exploring. Hill flashes a signal that the women of Wakanda make for an interesting comparison between the books antagonists, Ra and Khonshu. Casellis art and Curiels colorings reinforce and expand on that split storytelling, showcasing the highs and lows of the genre and Wakanda in the books visuals. Issue #4 is still a great place to catch up and join the ride for the series, which seems to be heating up based on the last page reveal. Read Full Review
The only major issue lies with the speed of the plot. So far there's no indication of why Moon Knight has been attacking Khonshu, or what exactly T'Challa discovered at the end of last issue. I enjoy a good slow burn story, but there has to be room for the story to progress. There are two issues left in the first arc, so hopefully answers are on the way. Read Full Review
While far from perfect, this issue finally gives us a T'Challa that seemingly has a a purpose. The team has formed and the Cult of Moon Knight is making its move. Things are looking up. Read Full Review
Ultimate Black Panther #4 builds on the atmosphere of paranoia when assassins Moon Knight's assassins are found in the highest ranks of Wakanda. Unfortunately, the plot moves at a snail's pace, only saved by excellent visuals from the art team. Read Full Review
Plot
Okoye heads towards the town of Wakanda stating that Black Panther is missing but not dead, that they should be calm, but in the current war situation it is difficult to be calm, especially Shuri who wants to take other measures.
Okoye is attacked by one of Moon Knight's soldiers, who was a former Dora Milaje, but Black Panther appears and stops her.
Black Panther explains to Okoye that Wakanda and all of Africa are in danger, she is full of spies from Ra and Konshu, who believe they are gods and want vibranium for something magical. T'challa explains that she is going to have to create a small circle of trust that will handle undisclosed information, this group is made up of Shuri, Okoye, Erik Killmonger and more
Good issue, but the ending was expected, but we are treated like it was a surprise.
