Can't wait to share some details of Issue 01!

Ooo I definitely gotta check this out.

Who's the publisher and when's the release date?

Oh, neat, this is getting announced finally! Kyle's a friend (blew up my comic shop in an issue of Nightwing, so... I guess maybe "friend"?), and he was telling me about this at C2E2 this past year. It looks like a ton of fun!

I would love to see that panel! What issue? And i loved kyles run on Nightwing! Great work! Didn't know he was toku fan lol.

It was in #19 or #20 of the New 52 era. They can't show the store in the book, but the Western Ave Blue Line station is destroyed, which is across Winnebago Ave from our store. A fan at the time called it out to us, and Kyle confirmed it was on purpose when we saw him next.

And, yeah, Kyle is a legit toku fan. More on the US side of things, but he's working with a huge Ultraman fan on his Marvel book to keep things right, really learning more about what toku is and how it works. This one is... it's like, did you ever read Invincible? By Robert Kirkman? It was Kirkman taking all of his Spider-Man and Marvel fandom, and then creating a sandbox where he could really take risks. This, to hear Kyle describe it, is him taking all of the things he loved about working on MMPR and creating a world where there are no limits on the stories he can tell. He was really passionate about it, and I think it's going to be a winner.

Ah so we've finally got a name (Or at least this is the first I'm hearing of the name), I'm glad I've got something to look out for now in regards to remembering it over being "Kyle Higgins new comic that is Toku Inspired" that I had been seeing for a while now.

I actually own all the issues of his Nightwing run and was just wondering where it was. Will definitely look it up!

Lol, Kirkman's Invincible and the Image comics brand was actually one of my first exposures to comic books back in grade school (thanks to my school library), didn't know he was a marvel guy.

Really psyched for Kyle's Ultraman, again was it a mini series, or was it a full run? I loved his work since Nightwing and have actually tried to meet him multiple times to have him sign my Nightwing #1issue. It blows my mind that you know him. Has he ever done signings at your store?

Kirkman started as an indie guy with Battle Pope and Invincible before briefly doing some Marvel books, but he's a long-time superhero fan. His fandom is what went into Invincible, the teen melodrama and high action and all of that stuff.

The Ultraman book is currently three issues in on a five-issue series. If it's successful (#1 had to be reprinted, so I think it did okay!) Marvel will likely do more mini-series.

Kyle's a Chicago guy, so we mostly got to know him because he'd be back in town for family stuff. We've done a few signings with him, when his schedule allows. Nowadays, we run into him for C2E2 and whenever he's in town for family or business. I'd say I see him maybe one or two times a year?

Damn, i didn't realize issue#1 already released. Hopefully i can find #3 and the back issues. If not, hopefully, it'll get a trade release.

Radiant Blacks suit design, art-style, and concept already look amazing. Hopefully, i can snag issue#1 on release.
