Skybound Xpo: Skybound Announces Kaiju Action with Ultramega Launching in March 2021

Posted on by

Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment will supersize fan frenzy this March with new series Ultramega by heavyweight James Harren and featuring the talents of multiple Eisner award winning colorist Dave Stewart.

But it’s not just the creative team that’s bigger-than-life. Ultramega’s debut issue will sink ships with its extra-length story—busting at the seams with a whopping 68-pages of colossal goodness. The new series was announced during a conversation between Skybound’s Editor-in-Chief Sean Mackiewicz and online host Hector Navarro during a Skybound Xpo panel today.

In the world of Ultramega, a cosmic plague has spread and transformed everyday people into violent, monstrous kaiju. Only the Ultramega—three individuals imbued with incredible powers—hold the line against this madness. Their battles level cities and leave untold horror in their wake. Now, the final reckoning approaches for the Ultramega… but is this a war they can even win? 

Pacific Rim? Puny. Godzilla? A guppy. Readers beware: no series launch in 2021 could possibly be bigger than Ultramega. Literally. 

Ultramega #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 17.
