Plot
Black Panther faces Moon Knight's warriors, who are mind-controlled Wakandans and attack mercilessly, but T'challa, with the help of Killmonger and Storm, manage to neutralize them without harming them.
The war began and T'challa asks the Vodu-Khan for help to explain what this substance is that Ra and Konshu have in their possession, Imala makes him understand that Vibranium is a living being, that this element can be its opposite. T'challa thinks that anti-vibranium is perfect for terraforming the planet and that Monn Knight's plan is to create a new kingdom out of nothing.
Black Panther sends Okoye, Killmonger and Strom to find a magical being who can explain what is happening.
This story continues to feed this reimagining
of the Black Panther universe, with the introduction of this rival material to vibranium and the possibility of being something more than a mineral.
Art
It is carefully detailed in facial expressions, with a lot of dynamism that makes the story exciting, where we see Black Panther proving that he is a powerful warrior.
Summary
Black Panther begins to search for answers to Moon Knight's mysterious plan that involves vibranium and its opposite element more

With this issue the series seems to have started spinning its wheels slightly. Not going to knock it too much, it's still very interesting and well written and well drawn, but a little too much of this issue was T'Challa whining about having to fight Wakandans and not wanting to hurt them while his enemy has no such standards. Welcome to superhero life buddy. Still, really good issue and I'm loving Storm here. I expect #8 will be much better and more action packed, looking forward to it.

A solid improvement over the last issue. Mainly because Caselli is back on the art, and I found this to be written a bit better than last time. As DerbyComics mentioned in their review, though, this doesn't really feel like the start of a new arc. Rather, it feels like another issue of the opening one. That's not a bad thing, but this was also advertised as a new arc, if I remember correctly.

Very slow plot that appears to be stuck

Ultimate Black Panther continues to be the most decompressed entry of the new Ultimate Universe. While other titles haven’t had plot movement at breakneck speeds, they’ve managed to build their initial setup and introduce new concepts to flesh out their respective corners of this new world. That hasn’t been the case here.
Issue #7 is billed as the start of a new arc but they could have fooled me as these first seven issues have felt like one drawn out setup story. It’s been Black Panther vs Ra & Khonshu since the beginning with little payoff in between. Even the introduction of Killmonger and Storm failed to inject life into the story.
Even the artwork fell flat for me this issue mostly due to Stefano Caselli not having much
to work with — you can only make conversations look interesting for so long. Like the plot, the background visuals lacked a sense of depth to make this a something you wanted to invest in. Caselli and colorist David Curiel do their best work in some of the few action panels yet even those aren’t anything spectacular.
Bryan Hill has teased us long enough with something monumental lurking beneath the surface, but I’m now getting restless waiting for things to come to a head. There’s not enough meat on this bone to hold my interest for much longer. more

Many have used the term 'treading water' and I think that is apt. This series is meandering and I am getting quite board. I think I am going to read till the end of this ark and if it doesnt pick up, drop it. I dont know how people can be enamoured by this. It has no energy.
