PiercingMetal Thoughts: While I’ve long loved the look of the Ultraman character and have been a fan of the action figures that I’ve seen going across my screen over the years, I’m afraid that I must admit that I never really followed the character. Since this is a five issue limited series I am on the fence about purchasing it each month as opposed to waiting on a collected edition. What do you readers think about this news? Is it exciting for you and I wonder if you’ve been following along with the legendary Japanese superhero for any length of time. If so please chime in down below as I’d love to hear from you on this one. That’s all I have in me on this announcement so I will bid you farewell for the time being until the next time. Please stay safe out there my friends. We are in precarious times after all and honestly this is a good time to work on ones comic book collection since its an indoor activity. Okay I’m out.
