    Ultimate Black Panther #2 continues to weave a tale of political intrigue throughout its pages. Next issue will finally see Black Panther encounter Killmonger and Storm given that this Ultimate Universe hasn't been what anyone expected, it'll be exciting to see how this meeting turns out.

    Caselli delivers some beautifully dramatic and detailed art throughout the issue. I love the visual style a lot and how it crafts the beauty of the world and its characters. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Brett Mar 13, 2024

    Ultimate Black Panther #2 is a strong comic and the series is building towards something interesting. It highlights the aspect of the Ultimate Universe under control of a small group and a people under siege. T'Challa's struggles as a leader are a highlight and the intrigue of who might betray him delivers a solid mystery. Overall, while it might seem similar to its Marvel Universe 616 counterpart, it's delivering familiarity in a new and interesting package that's well worth checking out. Read Full Review

    ComicBook.com - Spencer Perry Mar 13, 2024

    I was critical of the first issue of Ultimate Black Panther because it felt too familiar, too safe, but what's clear now after Ultimate Black Panther #2 is that writer Bryan Hill was using that familiarity to disarm us as readers. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - William Tucker Mar 13, 2024

    Ultimate Black Panther #2 heralds uncertainty. The status quo faces disruption within the series. This is wartime and a period of mourning, and the balance between Black Panther’s character development and his involvement in the rest of the story is brilliant. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez Mar 13, 2024

    Ultimate Black Panther #2 is a rock-solid Black Panther comic with political intrigue, action, drama, and superhero goodness. That said, the promise of the premise to create a new Black Panther in the Maker's utopian universe feels too much like the regular Black Panther to stand on its own as unique and separate.

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Mar 14, 2024

    Ultimate Black Panther #2 moves at a good pace that strengthens the foundation of this series. Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli take more chances with the characters and setting of Wakanda to provide further depth to the Ultimate Universe. There are major character-focused developments that have multiple paths they can each go depending on the decisions made. That leaves for greater interest on the overall direction of Ultimate Black Panther. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Mar 16, 2024

    While this remains a good comic, there isn't anything really new or exciting to make it stand out as an Ultimate comic, especially not when compared to the other Ultimate titles. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Logan Dalton Mar 17, 2024

    Ultimate Black Panther really has the misfortune of being in the same publishing line as the more interesting Ultimate Spider-Man and more visually compelling Ultimate X-Men and unfortunately doesn't feel essential to read like those titles. Read Full Review

    Impulse Gamer - Matt Fischer Mar 21, 2024

    This book is just heating up. With the appearance of a certain weather goddess at the end of this issue, the next one cant come fast enough. I wish the art would be more eye catching. Now, if only TChalla could be the most interesting person in his own book we could get somewhere. Read Full Review
