The penultimate story of Tommy Oliver and possibly his final Power Rangers story releases next month in the graphic novel Soul of the Dragon by BOOM! Studios. Following Tommy Oliver in his final Power Rangers story, he searches valiantly for his missing son, JJ, who is working with Space Patrol Delta (SPD). His past, his present, and what remains of his future will collide in this epic adventure which harkens to the classic “Old Man Logan” story from Marvel Comics.

Written by Kyle Higgins – the famed Power Rangers scribe responsible for the immensely popular and successful Shattered Grid story in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic – and illustrated by Giuseppe Cafaro – this is a book that any fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, or the work of Kyle Higgins, do NOT want to miss.

Check out a number of preview pages for the graphic novel by clicking the title of the story. Thanks to Comic Frontline for the initial release of these images.

under Ultraman

Netflix is currently expanding it’s library of anime, and among those titles announced was an anime adaptation based on the currently on-going Ultraman Manga written by Eiichi Shimizu, and our first trailer for this 3DCGI production was released just today

In the initial announcement, the Netflix Ultraman Anime was announced for a worldwide simultaneous release scheduled for April 1st 2019, though whether or not this will include subtitles for internationals remains to be seen.

The Ultraman Manga acts as a sequel to the original Ultraman taking place several years after the fact. In it, Shin Hayate’s son Shinjiro battles monsters as the new Ultraman.

In the meantime, you can watch the trailer in the box below and be sure to hit the jump and let us know what you think about this exciting new outing for Ultraman!

In case you were among those that missed out on the S.H.Figuarts version of these characters, we may have an alternative for you with FigureRise Standard Kamen Rider Zi-O And Kamen Rider Geiz having just been revealed. Rejoice! For the heir of all Riders is here in model kit form.

Both Riders will include alternate hand assortments along with their personal sidearms: Geiz with his Zikan Zax and Zi-O Zikan Grade, with the gun and bow modes being included for both weapons though it is unknown if the weapons themselves will be able to transform or not.

FigureRise Standard Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Geiz are expected to come out March 2019. No pricing was announced at the time of this writing, though if last year’s Kamen Rider Build kit was anything to by, we can expect a price point in the 3,240 yen range.

In case you missed it Max Factory announced that three SSSS Gridman characters were on their way to Figma: Gridman himself, along with Akane and Rikka. But it seems like Figma won’t be the only way for collectors to enjoy those characters: with Goodsmile’s Nendoroid SSSS.Gridman, Rikka, and Akane were also just recently revealed in cute chibified forms. 

At the moment, only Gridman himself appears to be fully painted with Akane still in the early development with Akane only existing as concept art.

Be sure to stay tuned to Tokunation though, and we’ll bring you more info as it becomes available.
