Marvel Comics and Tsuburaya Productions have been working together since 2019, and it is finally time for the big crossover event as Ultraman and the Avengers team up in August!
Ultraman X Avengers is a four-issue mini-series by Kyle Higgins, Mat Groom, and Francesco Manna.
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.
“Of course we’re excited to be back with more ULTRAMAN, as ever, but especially for such a meaningful event,” Groom and Higgins said in a press release. “This is the first time Ultraman will meet the Avengers, despite them having so much in common– both being created in the 1960s, both being arguably the most popular and successful super heroes from their respective countries of origin. Being able to tell the story of this historic meeting: discovering how they interact, the ways in which they’re different, what they have to learn from each other—it’s a tremendous privilege.”
Ultraman X Avengers #1 arrives on August 14, 2024.
