James Harren’s ‘Ultramega’ Returns This September From Skybound
by Olly MacNamee
Skybound/Image Comics have announced the return of Ultramega by the one-man band that is James Harren (BPRD, Rumble) and colourist Dave Stewart (Hellboy, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!). And here’s the lowdown on the fifth issue:
“Following the devastating events in volume one, Noah takes on the Ultramega mantle from his father, but will he be able to save the world… or has the world been doomed from the start?
When Kaiju invaded Earth, three humans were granted the power of Ultramega to save humanity…They failed. Now, a new Ultramega has risen in this brutal world without heroes or hope. But the Kaiju Queen isn’t the only challenge he must face. Deep in the stars, they gather. Psychotic. Cold. A WORLD of ULTRAMEGA.”
Sean Mackiewicz, SVP, Publisher, Skybound, said ore about the upcoming new storyline:
“The second arc features fights even more colossal than the first, horror more cosmic than you can even comprehend, and a hero’s journey warped by shattered bones and hundreds of gallons of spilled blood. It’s the BEST.”
As well as featuring 72-page issue will feature a main cover by Harren & Stewart, there is an open to order variant cover by the one and only Mike Mignola (Hellboy) & Stewart, a 1:10 incentive black and white variant cover by Mignola, a 1:25 incentive black and white variant cover by Harren, and a blank sketch cover.
Ultramega #5 is out on Wednesday, September 18, 2024.
