Really sad the release schedule has slowed down! This ended on a great cliff hanger and had me wanting more instantly

There were a couple of interesting little call outs to the regular Ultra lore in here that I liked, such as bringing in Windam, so maybe that'll mean we'll get this universe version of the other capsule monsters at some point. Some story seeds that had been planted before now seem to starting to bare fruit but not at a fast pace. So this does seem like the calm before the storm as they say despite the major fight scene that was the biggest focus of this particular volume.There was something else debuting this particule volume but saying what it is would be a tad spoilery

The aftermath of the battle in New York reveals new secrets from the Land of Light and the Leo brothers stop by while tensions between the aliens and humans grow. Art is fluid and dynamic and the story manages to raise the stakes even more.

Yet another volume that strays more and more from the soul of Ultra, while digging deeper into the mythology to bring new characters - based on classic characters - to life. The stakes are higher than ever, and a new menace is here.

This is more of a setup volume, but it still has some great action scenes with the Leo Brothers and Seven - now with Windom!

Another great volume, keeps the tension going and still managing to introduce great new characters, some new designs make this volume stand out!
