Ultimate Black Panther #12 is the chapter that this Moon Knight saga has certainly needed. The length of this story certainly continues to be felt but at least now we know we are close to the end. Read Full Review
Plot
T'challa dreams of the battle against Moon Knight, where something inside him makes him murder him in cold blood and decapitate him. Black Panther meets with the Vodu-Khan priest, Matron Imala, who continues to answer questions cryptically, making him understand that the vibranium wound has turned Black Panther into a channel for the power of Vibranium, who will be the first king to achieve this. T'challa fears that the vibranium will take over his judgment. Imala knows more than she is saying and is manipulating T'challa.
The battle between Black Panther and Moon Knight is short, where T'challa easily defeats Moon Knight and the vibranium orders him to kill him, just at that moment Storm, Killmonger and the supernal so more
I understand people's criticisms, but I enjoyed this, for the most part. It is still a bit of a slow burn, especially for a story that's supposed to be being told in real time. Though, I do think it's fairly well-written. Caselli's art is, arguably, the best part about this book.
2 Minute Read...
Okay so a solid 5/5 for the art I'm loving most of the panel work. But the writing continues to fall apart at least in terms of pacing. I finished this comic in at least 2 minutes or at most 3 minutes.
Starting off with a great scene where Tchalla goes out of character to behead his defeated foe Moon knight it only turns out to be a dream. I get it, but honestly would have been cool to commit to this especially that this is an Ultimate universe created by the Maker that will eventually be fixed by The Ultimates eventually?
From there he finally has his fight and easily defeats Moonknight with a swift upper kick to the face sending him flying. Seriously. That's it. Kind of anti-climactic aft more
the art is really solid, but it is a bit too slow for me. I get how this is a slow-burn book, but the writing for T'Challa doesn't make me engage to him. It's not bad at all, but I wish it could be better
