Marvel Comics’ all-new Ultimate Universe saga continues, with Ultimate Black Panther #1 hitting shelves and bringing another classic Marvel hero into the 6160-fold. Written by Bryan Hill, illustrated by Stefano Caselli, with colors by David Curiel and letters by VC’s Cory Petit, Ultimate Black Panther #1 is preceded by the relaunched Ultimate Spider-Man #1, and will be followed in March by the newest take on Ultimate X-Men #1.The diabolical genius known as The Maker forged his own perfect universe by creating a version of Earth with no superheroes, but he never counted on being overthrown by his own council. With The Maker out of the way, his former acolytes, Khonshu and Ra (AKA Moon Knight), are violently spreading their influence over the continent of Africa, unchecked by anybody. Ultimate Black Panther #1 begins with two Wakandan spies witnessing the violent takeover of a small village by The Maker’s Council, unable to intervene due to the policies of their isolationist nation. Upon hearing about the terrible crimes, King T’Challa is forced to assess what is important and right, turning to many of his most crucial advisors. Whilst the king deliberates, Khonshu and Ra continue to brutalize the local population – and an outsider takes it upon themselves to interfere where Wakandan forces will not.There is a clear set of dichotomies being drawn, centered around questions of kingship. Ultimate Black Panther #1 puts stock in the tough decisions T’Challa and others have to make regarding spirituality or science, traditions or the future, the peace of inaction or the destruction of war. This plurality of ideas is brought to the forefront by the vast number of plot threads already unspooling in this first issue, making Ultimate Black Panther feel dense and multifaceted. The dual flourish at the finale, with a crucial reveal followed by a narrative-shifting tragedy, bookends this first issue with aplomb and gives significant payoff to the themes that have been developed. It is worth noting that, for better or for worse, the writing of Ultimate Black Panther #1 relies heavily on the pre-existing establishment of its setting and characters, so the exposition and characterization is extremely thin. This gives the comic an excellent narrative economy, but can leave some of the characters feeling a little instrumental and under-explored for the time being.
