The thrilling saga of the Black Panther in the Ultimate Universe enters its exciting second year!

With Moon Knight defeated and the Maker’s Council forced to regroup, T’Challa must learn the secrets of vibranium — because his very life and soul are at risk! The Sorcerer Supreme can help understand the truth of the terrifying element that built Wakanda, but her aid comes with a price. The Black Panther’s dangerous reliance on vibranium only becomes more volatile when an ancient spirit attacks Wakanda! Battle-worn and beleaguered, T’Challa must go back to basics to prepare for battle against the new foes who have turned vibranium and its dark counterpart against him! Plus: The Panther and Storm team up to uncover why a CIA agent is undertaking covert missions in Wakanda! Will the prophesied union between the king and the mutant freedom fighter come to pass?
