Black Panther wrestles with this new anti-vibranium - and deals with the devastating consequences! What is the price of such life-bringing power? And what is the price of trying to master it?
Rated T+
Again, like I mentioned every week the art is impressive. It gives again that special attention to the action in the comic. I also love that the characters always have something they are working on. Whether either working with each other, or trying to protect their people. I am hoping to see T'Challa figure out how he can defeat Khonshu for good. Read Full Review
As has been the cast this entire time, Ultimate Black Panther is at its best when setting itself apart, and that remains true here. Read Full Review
Ultimate Black Panther #9 is barreling toward an endgame, and magic is bound to play a huge part in it among other things. Read Full Review
Ultimate Black Panther #9 gives readers a quick peek at the Ultimate Sorcerer Supreme and does nothing else. Bryan Hill hasn't moved the plot in any meaningful direction in months, so this title has truly become a waste of time and money. Well, the art is pretty great, so that's something. Read Full Review
Plot
Black Panther attends a political rally of Moon Knight, who takes advantage of the resentment of the people to convince them to sacrifice their lives to destroy Wakanda, Black Panther almost confronts him in public, but he still doesn't know how powerful Moon Knight when he uses the anti-vibranium.
Killmonger and Storm follow the trail of the Supreme Sorcerer, key to understanding part of the essence of vibranium and its opposite element, but when they arrive at the prison that holds him captive, he escapes by chance, killing all his captors, this... sorceress, offers them help for help, she knows it is vibranium.
This story continues to feed this reimagining of the Black Panther universe, with the introducti more
This was a lot of fun!
The best issue yet, in my opinion. Not only does Caselli's art continue to be great, but the story is finally picking up some steam, as well. I'm looking forward to T'Challa finally confronting Ra and Khonshu. Furthermore, I'm super intrigued by this new Sorcerer Supreme, assuming that's who Erik and Ororo found at the end.
It took 9 issues to get somewhere, but we are finally getting somewhere with the Sorcerer Supreme and possibly fighting Moon Knight to prevent a Jihad. Hill really needs to keep the momentum going for this series is going to stall again. Sales are flagging on this one and it needs some real excitement.
