I'm not super familiar with the Ultraman saga short of it's a giant space guy fighting giant space monsters. I've seen many episodes of the old TV show and enjoyed them for the kitsch factor.

That being said, I thought this volume was fantastic. A great setup that spans generations, badass monsters and plenty of fisticuffs. I'll be continuing this series for sure. ( )

A very well done re-imagining of Ultraman, done through the lens of modern superhero comics and films. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest of this series. ( )

Decades ago, a being known as the Giant of Light joined Shin Hayata of the Scientific Special Search Party to save Earth from an invasion of terrifying monsters known as Kaiju. Now, many years later, those dark days are fading into memory, and the world is at peace. But in the shadows a new threat is growing, a danger that can only be faced by a new kind of hero

Oh my! I saw this manga on the shelf and decided to give it a try not knowing anything about it. It not only looks cool but it is cool! Fast paced, full of action and surprises!! Feels like a mix between Iron Man, Real Steel and Pacific Rim and Gundam...so that means robot suit action fun for me!! Can't wait to read volume 2! ( )
