Press release
Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom continue their Ultraman saga in a new series this August. FROM MARVEL Following the two acclaimed limited series THE RISE OF ULTRAMAN and THE TRIALS OF ULTRAMAN comes a brand-new chapter in Ultraman’s Marvel Comics adventures: ULTRAMAN: THE MYSTERY OF ULTRASEVEN! This latest installment brought together by the landmark collaboration between Marvel Comics and Tsuburaya Productions will once again feature the amazing storytelling skills of writing duo Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom. Joined by rising star artist Davide Tinto, the pair will continue to dive deep into the secrets behind the pop culture icon’s fascinating mythology in an adventure that will thrill longtime fans of the global phenomenon and welcome Ultraman newcomers. In addition, the double-sized debut issue will include an additional story spotlighting the history of Ultra Q and more instructional Kaiju Steps by Gurihiru. Giant Kaiju roam, a sinister conspiracy consolidates power, and there’s nobody left to stop it — because Ultraman is GONE! How did the situation go so wrong…? And how can the United Science Patrol claw their way back from the brink? The answers lie in the appearance of an enigmatic new Ultra and a secret that has remained hidden for decades. From distant stars to lost dimensions, untangling this twisted web will require Shin Hayata to go farther and fight harder than ever before. "Kyle and I's reimagination of this universe started with a long-term masterplan — which is why we featured Dan Moroboshi's mysterious disappearance in the very first pages of THE RISE OF ULTRAMAN," said Groom. "It's so exciting to have reached the stage where we can now pull back the curtain on that mystery...and its world-shaking implications!"

DARK HORSE BOOKS PRESENTS 'GIANTS VOLUME 2: GHOSTS OF WINTER'
Carlos Perez Valderrama and Miguel Valderrama continue their hit, modern-day kaiju story in Giants Volume 2: Ghosts of Winter! Combining stunning, evocative art with a story that breathes new life into the post-apocalypse genre this next installment is equal parts action and heart. After the loss of their leader—and father figure—the apocalyptic found family The Forsaken are divided on what to do next. As they attempt to build a new place to call home, their efforts are quickly cut short when a fight among monsters forces them to move farther beyond the limits of the unknown—and with the way back blocked—they're faced with more change as they encounter a group of monster hunters. When they learn that killing monsters has unintended consequences, tensions rise, loyalties are tested, and new beasts enter the fray! In a world ruled by giant monsters, with hope lost in memories of the past, the choice to run, hide, or fight becomes more than a question of survival. The Giants Volume 2: Ghosts of Winter paperback will be available at comic stores August 24, 2022 and in bookstores September 6, 2022. It is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and at your local comic shop and bookstore. Giants Volume 2: Ghosts of Winter will retail for $19.99. Praise for Giants Volume 1:

Written by KYLE HIGGINS & MAT GROOM Penciled by FRANCESCO MANNA, EDUARDO FERIGATO & GURIHIRU Cover by ARTHUR ADAMS Now come the consequences! Ultraman narrowly averted a catastrophe decades in the making. The world was saved — but also forever changed. Much of the populace regard their defenders with suspicion. Enemies hide in plain sight, and even those closest to Shin Hayata don’t necessarily have faith in the Giant of Light. But at last, a long-thought-lost comrade has returned! That’s a good thing…right? Unfortunately, the forces aligned against the USP and Ultraman are far more widespread — and more organized — than our heroes ever suspected. If they’re going to survive, they’ll need a new ally of their own — and the man they’re thinking of just so happens to be one of the most powerful and influential people in the world. But what is his history with the USP, and why does he seem to have his own hidden agenda?
