Marvel announces Ultraman x Avengers crossover

May 23, 2024 by Gary Collinson

Having been collaborating on Ultraman comics since 2019, Marvel and Tsuburaya Productions have now announced that Japan’s greatest hero is set to join forces with Earth’s Mightiest for a crossover of epic proportions with Ultraman x Avengers.

The first ever crossover between Ultraman and the Marvel Universe will see the return of writers Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom and artist Francesco Manna, the team behind Marvel’s previous Ultraman comics, and will kick off a four-issue limited series in August.

“Of course we’re excited to be back with more Ultraman, as ever, but especially for such a meaningful event,” said writers Higgins and Groom. “This is the first time Ultraman will meet the Avengers, despite them having so much in common– both being created in the 1960s, both being arguably the most popular and successful super heroes from their respective countries of origin. Being able to tell the story of this historic meeting: discovering how they interact, the ways in which they’re different, what they have to learn from each other—it’s a tremendous privilege.”

Spider-Man has disappeared from New York, an intergalactic invader has arrived on Ultraman’s doorstep, and the Kaiju of Earth are acting even more mysteriously than usual. This can only mean one thing: It’s time for Ultraman to meet the Avengers! But what cosmic threat is great enough to require a team-up of Marvel’s mightiest champions and Japan’s greatest hero? Find out as Shin meets Sam, Spacium Ray meets Repulsor Ray, and “THWIP!” meets “SHUWATCH!” – in the epic crossover event.

Ultraman x Avengers #1 will go on sale on August 14th.
