Ultramega by James Harren #3

Ultramega #3 gave me more of everything I wanted from this book. Each month when this arrives, I have zero expectations. NOT because the book is bad, but because the book is so, so so damn good. It is smart in all the right ways. There are giant monsters and guess what? THEY kill people because they can. Because it is a game. That is just what would happen. Humanity, should this world exist, wouldn't be doing so well. The realism, in a book about kaiju, is spot on. Looking forward to whatever next month brings. I honestly have no clue what to expect, but I am really, really excited and you should be too. Read Full Review

The issue doubles down on some unfortunate tropes when dealing with Lillith but is hopefully heading in a more exciting direction. Read Full Review

Amazing. The whole series just clicks. Amazing art and a modern story.

Filled with homages to the Kaiju genre while developing plenty of original ideas of its own. As before, Harren's dynamic art is the star of the show. The plot is now moving along nicely, even if most of the action of this issue is an arena fight. Because of that, it can seem pretty slowly paced. The pieces set up in the first issue are coming together. The juvenile humor and anime-like expression cuts were a bit jarring, but I have to remember that this is an ultra-bloody kaiju battle comic, not something to be taken too seriously. I have a feeling this will read much better in trade. Still, I am left anticipating each new issue, and it's the book I look the most forward to each month.

Excellent stuff. The artwork continues to remind me in ways of Ryan Ottley, which I've missed since Invincible ended (Amazing Spider-Man didn't feel the same) and I continue to enjoy the story. I particularly enjoyed the first Kaiju fight against Boosh.
