Marvel and Tsubaraya Announce Major Ultraman Crossover Comic Book Miniseries
Las Vegas June 15, 2023—Marvel Comics and Tsuburaya Productions are announcing a major crossover comic book mini-series featuring characters from Marvel and The Ultraman universe. The mini-series will feature Ultraman and three of the beloved Avengers and is now in development.
At the onset of Ultraman reentering the U.S. marketplace in 2018, Marvel Publishing signed an agreement to create an Ultraman Comics series based on their interpretation of the classic Ultraman story. This landmark collaboration between Tsuburaya and Marvel has thus far resulted in three successful series: The Rise of Ultraman, The Trials of Ultraman, and The Mystery of Ultraseven. Each series consists of five issues and trade paperbacks.
The relationship with Marvel, and the consumer response to the comic series, has generated significant exposure for The Ultraman property.
The Ultraman Comics licensing program has had success with NFTs, posters, trading cards, and apparel. Available for licensing are the interior panels and covers of all of the books, which were created by world-renown comics artists such as: Alex Ross, Art Adams, Jorge Molina, E.J. Su, Francesco Manna, Michael Cho, Ed McGuiness, and David Tinto. The writers are Kyle Higgins (Batman-DC, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers-Boom! Studios, and Radiant Black- Image Comics), and Matthew Groom (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers-Boom! Studios, Infernal Girl Red and Self/Made-Image Comics). In the works are also plans for an Ultraman manga comics program for the Japanese market.
