Skybound has revealed James Harren’s Ultramega will return with issue #5 on September 18th. Launched way back in March 2021, the series has been on hiatus, but will soon return.
“James is one of the most talented comic book creators working today, and with ULTRAMEGA Arc 2, he’s topped himself” said Sean Mackiewicz, SVP, Publisher, Skybound. “The second arc features fights even more colossal than the first, horror more cosmic than you can even comprehend, and a hero’s journey warped by shattered bones and hundreds of gallons of spilled blood. It’s the BEST.”

So what’s Ultramega #5 about?
Following the devastating events in volume one, Noah takes on the Ultramega mantle from his father, but will he be able to save the world…or has the world been doomed from the start?
When Kaiju invaded Earth, three humans were granted the power of Ultramega to save humanity…They failed. Now, a new Ultramega has risen in this brutal world without heroes or hope. But the Kaiju Queen isn’t the only challenge he must face. Deep in the stars, they gather. Psychotic. Cold. A WORLD of ULTRAMEGA.
The fifth issue will run 72-pages and feature a main cover by Harren & Stewart, an open to order variant cover by the legendary Mike Mignola (Hellboy) & Stewart, a 1:10 incentive black and white variant cover by Mignola, a 1:25 incentive black and white variant cover by Harren, and a blank sketch cover.
