Ultraman Vol. 1: The Rise of Ultraman by Kyle Higgins, Mat Groom

3.0

Basically a new Ultraman origin story with a mixture of winter soldier like spy story. I get what they were trying to do because the story of Ultraman is quite simple when you get to the core of it so they wanted to make it a little bit more complex to make it a bit more interesting, The set up text a little too long. I did enjoy the callbacks such as the cartoony PSA’s and the ultra Q back up story I hope there’s some resolution to the Q story in the next trade. It makes sense they would get Kyle Higgins who is known for his writing on Power Ranger’s to do this series. I also thought the art was good for what it was trying to do so no complaints there overall I think that’s a solid set up was a bit too long but I guess they were trying to ease in people who have never heard of Ultraman before
