Tsuburaya has announced a unique new Ultraman project for manga fans!

A new series Ultraman: Along Came A Spider-Man features the second crossover between Ultraman and a Marvel Comics hero (following Marvel’s own Ultraman X Avengers series previously announced).

In this new adventure, Spider-Man is brought aboard the Interdimensional Train following a devastating battle with Doctor Doom. When Doom sees the Ultraman and kaiju battle he becomes obsessed with taking the heroes’ new power for himself.

Writer Shigenobu Matsumoto will helm the manga while Tomo Hirokawa will serve as artist.

Ultraman: Along Came A Spider-Man will be distributed in the US thanks to VIZ Media with the first release scheduled for August 14 2024!

Tsuburaya Productions is teaming up with Marvel Comics for an Ultra-sized special event!

Ultraman X Avengers is a four-issue event featuring a meeting of mighty heroes from across the universes, with writing by Kyle Higgins and art by Francesco Manna.

An early teaser summary has been published with this announcement:

Spider-Man has disappeared from New York, an intergalactic invader has arrived on Ultraman’s doorstep, and the Kaiju of Earth are acting even more mysteriously than usual. This can only mean one thing: It’s time for Ultraman to meet the Avengers! But what cosmic threat is great enough to require a team-up of Marvel’s mightiest champions and Japan’s greatest hero? Find out as Shin meets Sam, Spacium Ray meets Repulsor Ray, and “THWIP!” meets “SHUWATCH!” – in the epic crossover event.

The first issue of Ultraman X Avengers will be released on August 14 2024!

The official Bandai Tamashii Nations website has been counting down to the milestone of 100 releases since the Ultra Series joined the S.H. Figuarts line, and thanks to the latest batch of magazine leaks we can see that the 100th figure will be none other than an S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ultraman!

Much like the premium treatment Ultraman Tiga received last year, the original 1966 Ultra hero will arrive as part of Bandai’s “true bone carving” line. While the release date, price and materials used on the figure are still unconfirmed, we can see from the images that this Ultraman will come packaged with multiple hands as well as his Specium Beam and Ultra Slash attack effect parts!

We’ll bring you more information on this release as it comes!

Netflix has announced an exciting new project for Ultraman fans!

A new CGI feature is in development for the streaming platform, written and directed by animation veteran Shannon Tindle.

A brief plot synopsis has already been released:


“Baseball superstar Ken Sato returns to his home country of Japan to pick up the mantle of Earth-defending superhero Ultraman, but quickly finds more than he bargained for when he’s forced to raise the offspring of his greatest foe, a newborn Kaiju. Struggling to balance the roles of teammate and new father, Ken must confront his own ego, his estranged father, and the conniving Kaiju Defense Force to rise up and discover what it truly means to be Ultraman.”

An exact release date for this new film has not been confirmed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this new chapter in Ultra history!
