In addition to the Rooster Fighter reveal, VIZ Media's San Diego Comic-Con panel brought with it a new project that has the publisher teaming up with Shogakukan, Tsuburaya Productions and Marvel Comics. The new collab is Ultraman: Along Came a Spider , which sees Ultraman and Spider-Man teaming up for the first time. Shinji Oishi has the original story credit, Shigenobu Matsumoto is writing and Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris manga illustrator Tomo Hirokawa is handling the art. Ultraman: Along Came a Spider will kick off its serialization on August 14—both in comic shops and simultaneous with Japan via VIZ Media's digital service VIZ Manga—which is the same day the previously-announced Ultraman x Avengers series drops. You can see art for both below. RELATED: Rooster Fighter Anime Officially Announced Ultraman x Avengers is a four-issue mini-series with Kyle Higgins ( The Rise of Ultraman ) and Mat Groom ( The Trials of Ultraman ) writing. Francesco Manna ( The Amazing Spider-Man ) is on art duties. Tsuburaya describes Ultraman: Along Came a Spider like so: On Marvel Earth, Spider-Man joins forces with the Avengers to battle Doctor Doom in New York City, but when several civilians are killed in a building collapse as a result, Spider-Man becomes demoralized and finds himself whisked away in a strange spacecraft called the Interdimensional Train. Doctor Doom stows aboard and both find themselves in the Tokyo of the Ultraman universe! Witnessing Ultraman battle a giant Kaiju, Doom craves the Giant of Light’s power and joins forces with Alien Mefilas and his army of Kaiju from the Monster Graveyard to steal it.
