In Iceland, the critics of the USP are uniting - and they finally have what they need to win the rest of the world over! But what are the dark consequences of their actions...and will Ultraman choose to save them from those consequences?
Or perhaps a better question to ask is - with opposition mounting, alliances fraying and trust disintegrating, can he?
Rated T+
The Trials of Ultraman #4 sets the scene for a grand finale and lives up to its title with the creative team testing Shin Hayata's resilience. Even though there's only one issue left, I hope this creative team has more Ultraman stories in the tank because I definitely want more of what they're serving. Read Full Review
The ideas in this series are fun but there's not enough time to dig into all of them and satisfy the thirst of kaiju punching too. Read Full Review
The panel layouts really bring out the tensions Shin is dealing with. There are big world changing events going out and Shin can barely keep his own house in order. Fortunately, he still believes and is willing to take action to help others. Just because he fumbles about, he still has people to count on like Kiki who in turn counts on him. I'm really hoping Dan's time comes to shine as well.
After lengthy hemming and hawing, Ultraman and friends get stuck into the first round of their Iceland showdown. I think this is a solid story, with a plot and characters worth paying attention to. It's being told in mighty broad strokes, though, burning through more words and page space than it really needs. It could be a lot tighter and faster.
