For decades of his existence, Black Panther was something of an also-ran Marvel Comics hero. This finally began changing due to his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with his comic books also becoming somewhat more high-profile. Sadly, his most recent series is a bit of a letdown in different ways, and it speaks to some of the biggest issues with the hero.The current Ultimate Black Panther book by Bryan Edward Hill and Stefano Caselli is one of the only disappointments in the new Ultimate Universe, especially next to hits such as Ultimate Spider-Man. Telling a plodding story that barely uses its main character, it also fails to cleverly invert the mythos interestingly. It seems that the MCU might have artificially inflated the hero’s brand, and the new book is one of several examples of the wind leaving T’Challa’s sails.The Black Panther run by Ta-Nehisi Coates was much the same way, with the comics written more as bloviating diatribes than engaging stories, all while T’Challa became an afterthought in his own book. The fact that the Ultimate Universe books narratively move in something resembling real-time only makes matters worse, and it cements just how much time passes without anything of note happening in the story.
