It turns out that the forces aligned against the USP and Ultraman are far more widespread-and more organized!-than our heroes had ever suspected. If they're going to survive, they'll need a new ally of their own...and the man they're looking at just so happens to be one of the most powerful and influential people in the world.
But what's his history with the USP, and why does he seem to have his own hidden agenda?

The Trials of Ultraman #3 unravels the details of yet another mystery that Shin Hayata and friends are dealing with, and sets the stage for a confrontation between Ultraman and the JADF. With only two issues remaining in the series, the stage is set for Ultraman to have a massive confrontation with a different kind of enemy. Read Full Review
The story applies a modern lens to the kaiju vs. superhero genre, but the use of character names from the Ultra series is a bit distracting. I like the main character, though. Read Full Review
Higgins and Groom's story takes a unique turn but the ever escalating mystery aspect of the narrative has started to become a chore. Read Full Review
Dan Moroboshi is a big batch of no help, but Shin and the USP do (eventually) figure out the robo-kaiju threat. It's wordy, it's slow, and it's frustratingly coy about revealing the deeper mysteries of its premise. But for all that, it's a pretty fun read. Artist Francesco Manna is going above the call of duty here, investing this story with a visual appeal that it might not deserve.
