Product Information

Not Quite Dead: Thanks to his Eye surviving, Jason's decapitation doesn't prove as fatal as expected. PORTLAND, Ore. 12/08/2020 — Image/Skybound Entertainment will supersize fan frenzy this March with new series Ultramega by heavyweight James Harren (Rumble, BPRD) and featuring the talents of multiple Eisner award winning colorist Dave Stewart. Powers, Ann. "Soundgarden: Ultramega OK" [ permanent dead link]. Blender. Retrieved on May 20, 2009. After the Kaiju King murders the first three Ultramegas, the public turns to using giant robots to battle Kaiju. Noah's harassment of the Kaiju Klan unwittingly delivers a capacity cube to them. And lands him and his adoptive mother Beth in their sights.

Indisputably one of the top science fiction novelists of this era, if not the top, Jemisin walks into the medium of comics as if she was born to it — which, in an era of high profile creators dipping into the comics world, is not at all a given. You would never guess this is her very first graphic novel, and not simply because she’s working with one of the best artists in the industry right now. Jamal Campbell breathes vibrant life and character into Jemisin’s intricate multi-species alien society, and their partnership leaves plenty of room for him to deliver his impeccable grasp of expression, motion, and framing. The last time Jamal Campbell drew a whole comic, it was also one of the best in its year, and with Jemisin on board it is not at all surprising that Far Sector makes the cut this year. —SP Pacific Rim? Puny. Godzilla? A guppy. Readers beware: no series launch in 2021 could possibly be bigger than Ultramega. Literally.

It’s hard not to love the try-hard underdog monster hero, and Kaiju No. 8 is another great example. — RB For the price, this is worth it. I highly recommend it. Not just this issue, but grab the first two issues as well because this is a truly original take on kaiju and heroics in a dystopian world. Above all else, this comic is good because it’s something new and original with that Shonen flair in the main character. Pacific Rim? Puny. Godzilla? A guppy. Readers beware: no series launch in 2021 could possibly be bigger than ULTRAMEGA. Literally.

In All of the Marvels, which would be one of the best comics of 2021 if it were not a prose book, author Douglas Wolk points out that at its start, monsters were as core to the Marvel Comics universe as crimefighting or romance. Since 2018, Al Ewing and numerous artists have been reminding us that they still are.Noah goes through so much emotionally in the arena that it’s a helluva ride to read. The most surprising part of this issue though is the amount of dark humor. There have been gags and playful moments previously, but in this issue, it’s as if Doug Stanhope wrote some of these lines. Does the action keep up though? Without a doubt yes. It’s bloody and intense. So ultimately, Ultramega #3 delivers on the action and so much more. Cruel and Unusual Death: Mariah is submerged in the literal flood of blood gushing out from Jason's decapitated body. And then it coagulates, trapping her inside of it to suffocate. An Image Comics title written and drawn by James Harren ( RUMBLE and B.P.R.D.) inspired by tokusatsu superhero shows like the Ultra Series. Telling a story from the early days of the infamous Judges of the long-running Judge Dredd strip, writer Michael Carroll and artist John Higgins’ Dreadnoughts explores the presence of police brutality just 14 years into our future — only six decades before the time frame of the original Dredd story — and how it begins the descent into Dredd’s fascist police state of Mega-City One. Ungrateful Bastard: The Kaiju have little appreciation for the humans under their thrall despite their loyal service, treating them as expendable cannon fodder at best and punching bags at worst.
