Viz has announced a new Ultraman manga:
VIZ Media is proud to announce the acquisition of the ULTRAMAN manga series, a new story inspired by the original classic TV show that ran in the late 1960’s! The action-filled adventures of one of Japan’s greatest superheroes will debut this August, updated for a whole new generation of fans and continuing the ULTRAMAN legacy!
The new ULTRAMAN will be published under the VIZ Signature imprint; the series currently appears in Japan’s Hero’s magazine. In the new series created by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi, the Earth is at peace, having been saved decades ago from terrifying monsters known as Kaiju when a being known as the Giant of Light joined Shin Hayada to combat the menace. But a new threat is growing in the shadows, a danger that can only be faced by a new kind of hero – a new kind of Ultraman! Shinjiro is an ordinary teen, but when he learns his father, Shin, has passed on the “Ultraman Factor” to him, nothing will ever be the same again!
