Rated T+
I know that the Dora Milaje has an allegiance to TChalla, and they will do anything to protect him. The art in this issue is beautiful, I again commend the artist staying true to protective hairstyles for the main characters. Each comic panel has jammed packed action, that adds to the story. Im really hoping to see what exactly TChalla has up his sleeve in order to defeat Moon Knight and Ra. Read Full Review

An idea that Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli does well in exploring with Ultimate Black Panther #8 is how much experience matters. Read Full Review
Ultimate Black Panther #8 continues to take the slow road to somewhere with an issue that looks good doing very little. Bryan Hill is doing his darndest to kill time and fill space waiting for the Maker's return, but at least Stefano Caselli's art gives you something good to look at while you wait. Read Full Review
Plot
Black Panther and the Dora Milaje face Moon Knight's warriors, T'challa is wounded by an anti-vibranium dagger, which made him enter a trance and see what appears to be the origin of both metals, which is of a cosmic nature, they are just images, there is no clear explanation.
T'challa wakes up seven days later with an ability to understand this superior material, so much so that he manages to control it with his mind. Shuri prepares for a lethal offensive against Ra and Khonshu
Killmonger and Storm obtain the clue from the Supreme Sorcerer, key to understanding part of the essence of vibranium and its opposite element.
This story continues to nourish this reimagining of the Black Panther universe, more
If you'd like to know how I feel about this issue, you can read my reviews for the last two issues of this book. They, pretty much, say what I felt after reading this. It's good and a like it, but the overarching plot isn't progressing as much as I would like it to. I am interested to see the follow-up on the Sorcerer Supreme stuff at the end, though.
Art: 4/5
Story: 3.5/5
Total: 7.5/10
First half of this book you can read in like 45 second and very little occurs. Honestly a 5/10. But the second half picks up a lot and we finally see something interesting from Black Panther and his understanding of vibranium. Also the hunt for the Sorcerer Supreme is an interesting B plot, so this is at least better than the last issue. Still not picking up to where it needs to be though.
