Ultraman #1 is a great start to Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom's 5-issue mini. If you are not familiar with Ultraman, don't worry, you will not be left behind. Check it out for the great art, intriguing story, and giant Kaiju! Read Full Review

I was hesitant in reading this work since a big publisher like Marvel Comics taking on yet another property is an easy cash-grab if done wrong, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The creative team has done the homework, clearly spent a lot of time and energy getting this world right, and have started things off strong. The Rise of Ultraman is an exciting new sci-fi action story well worth rising up and reading. Read Full Review

Phenomenal art and deep references from Higgins and Groom make this comic a must buy. Read Full Review

ULTRAMAN: RISE OF ULTRAMAN #1 is a clever three-pronged introduction into the Ultraman universe that fans of the original material can appreciate and newcomers to the franchise can also enjoy. While issue one may not have the kind of action some may be expecting, it still has thrills and mystery and combines that with great character work, superb art, and a clever format. Read Full Review

This new series reboots the property for new audiences and old fans alike with a direct approach to the concept in a fun inaugural issue. The only real downside for the series' kickoff is that it has to spend more time establishing its world than really playing in it, though it features quality backup tales to supplement that shortcoming.

Come for the main event, but be sure to stay for the extras, they make a decent debut much better. Read Full Review

I'm by no means an Ultraman expert, but this issue makes an interesting case for finding out more. Read Full Review

Which, regrettably, makes The Rise of Ultraman #1 uneven. Though gorgeous throughout and chocked full of charm and weird bits of texture, the story isn't that accessible for those not up to speed on the character. Read Full Review

Ultraman: The Rise of Ultraman #1 sees Marvel Comics relaunch this Kaiju-fighting hero with a sci-fi origin story. Read Full Review

I was a little disappointed. I liked the lead story, but it was too short considering the price. The rest of the issue was useless filler.

I've never been an Ultraman fan. I don't know the character at all. 8 don't know if this comic is accurate to the established canon, or if it's something new, but I found myself waiting for a hook that never really came. The story is fine. That's it. I'm not sure I'll continue reading this. The most intrigue actually came from the back up. I don't know, this just didn't click with me.

Like, it’s not horrible, but it’s also not all that interesting. Eh.
