Hailed as a cultural icon in Hong Kong and Japan, on par with our own Superman and Batman, Ultraman has punched, kicked, and karate-chopped his way into the hearts of fans internationally for nearly four decades. Known and love the world over, the monster-smashing sci-fi superstar comes to Dark Horse courtesy of writer Tony Wong and Koo Fuk Lung (Hong Kong's Solar Lord), with dynamic new covers by UDON. This incarnation of Ultraman, now called "Tiga," finds the 100-foot tall hero revived in the year 2049 and facing a world ill-equipped to handle the onslaught of gigantic beasts that are peppering the globe. Relying on his martial-arts prowess and his three modes of combat - Sky (flight and speed), Power (strength), and Omni (a balance of the two) - Tiga goes toe to toe with the most terrifying collection of monstrous giants and alien invaders ever to plague the planet.

Dolores Martinez heads an international team of scholars in this lively discussion of Japanese popular culture. The book's contributors include Japanese as well as British, Icelandic and North American writers, offering a diversity of views of what Japanese popular culture is, and how it is best approached and understood. They bring an anthropological perspective to a broad range of topics, including sumo, karaoke, manga, vampires, women's magazines, soccer and morning television. Through these topics - many of which have never previously been addressed by scholars - the contributors also explore several deeper themes: the construction of gender in Japan; the impact of globalisation and modern consumerism; and the rapidly shifting boundaries of Japanese culture and identity. This innovative study will appeal to those interested in Japanese culture, sociology and cultural anthropology.
