SHUWATCH!!: The Ultraman Fan Zine Volume 3 is now out for purchase! For those of you who put in your pre-orders for the amazing mixed-media anthology of art, comic strips, and creative writing, you’re in luck, and if you didn’t get the chance to place your order ahead of time, not to fear, there’s still time to cash in and grab one while they’re hot!
Shuwatch!!, named after the onomatopoeia of Ultraman’s combat/flight sound (シュワッチ), is a gorgeous homage to both the Ultraman franchise and the fans who cherish it.
With almost 100 pages of high quality artwork, Shuwatch!! showcases a multitude of perspectives and styles as well as a wide array of Ultraman content. Whether your thing is Kaiju, Ultras, hosts, defense teams, or battle scenes, there’s something here for everyone.
In the wake of Blazar’s end and the purgatory of anticipation for the upcoming Netflix feature, Ultraman Rising, the Shuwatch Zine can serve as our one-stop-shop for a whole new download of fresh Ultraman content.
The best part of purchasing a Shuwatch!! zine? All profits go to the Ultraman Foundation. The Ultraman Foundation, established in 2011 by Tsuburaya Productions, is a charity organization dedicated to offering hope and assistance to children and families affected by natural disasters in various regions of Japan. Through dynamic hero performances and the provision of essential relief supplies, they strive to bring relief and encouragement. Ultraman gives all fans hope, and Shuwatch!! reciprocates that action honorably.
The collective synthesis of Ultraman is what makes this fandom as special as it is.
What better way could there be to show our love to the Ultraman community we work so hard to cultivate than to support the collaboration of artists, writers, and creatives?
Keep in mind, however, that there’s very little time left — the final donation to the Ultraman Foundation is happening on February 23rd! If you want to support a wonderful charity AND get your hands on one of the coolest collaborative fan projects around, don’t miss out!
