Ultimate Captain America Annual #1 2008 - Comic Review

Welcome back zappers, Im Devin Curry with http://Shazap.com. Your online video source for comic book news and reviews. Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/devincurry.

This was a good book, but not really a Captain America book. This was entirely a Black Panther Book, 100 percent. It follows his origin, his development, his training and ultimately his return home. The only part that Captain America plays is a small bit of mentoring. The only reason I can see that they even called it a Captain America book was that it addresses why he was wearing the Black Panther costume in Ultimates 3. The only thing I didn't like about this book was why T'Challa became the Black Panther. He is a warrior king and champion and this Black Panther as born of failure. I like the Ultimates and reimaginings of the characters are cool but they have to stay true to the core of the character and this one did not. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Like the show. its actualy kinda cool.....However i have a MAJOR GRIPE - your video post is 1min 48 seconds. You spend 40 seconds with your intro and another 30 seconds saying goodbye. WTF?????

Care to explain??

although this is a big improvement over ultimates 3, i still don't think it's a good book. this book also brings a huge plot hole - cap has been pretending to be black panther to hide the fact that the real panther is gone from nick fury.

the thing is by the time ultimates 3 takes place, nick fury has been stuck in the sumpreme power universe for years. so..why still bother with the black panther act?

I'm not really interested in Ultimates. I like to stick to the original Marvel Universe.

I was suprised how much I enjoyed this annual. Maybe its just because my expectations were set so low by Ultimates 3.

i like the origin of the oridinal black panther but i do dig the mini wolverine type claws and that he is a mutant and apperently cant speak i think it is a unique spin, Remeber the ultimate line is also about taking chances i actually would like to see a ultimate black panther book and an ultimate captian america book
