Announced last year, (see “‘Ultraman TCG’ Unveiled’”), the first Ultraman TCG Starter Deck is releasing this month. First appearing in 1966, Ultraman is enjoying broad attention this year, with comic crossovers involving Marvel’s Avengers (see “Ultraman to Cross Over into the Marvel Universe for the First Time”) and Spider-Man (see “SDCC News: Viz, Marvel Announce New Ultraman/Spider-Man Manga”). Netflix’s animated Ultraman: Rising was the second-highest viewed English-language program worldwide on the streaming platform (see “‘Green Lantern’ Series Greenlit; New Monsterverse Film Incoming; ‘Batman: Caped Crusader’ Trailer; ‘Street Fighter’ Movie in the Works; ‘Ultraman Rising’ #2 Worldwide; ‘Resident Alien’ Moves”).
