If you’re planning to hit the Viz Manga app later this week when the global crossover manga Ultraman: Along Came a Spider-Man arrives, let me point you to another digital manga you may want to check out while you are there — Secret Steward by Sanshirō Kasama and Hikaru Uesugi.

Unico: Awakenings (Scholastic, August 2024) preview pages by Samuel Sattin and Gurihiru
The writer of the new manga based on the work of Osamu Tezuka talks about the project, what Tezuka means to him and more.
Manga publisher Shogakukan will publish ‘Ultraman: Along Came a Spider-Man’ in Japan, while Viz will bring it to America via their Viz Manga app.
Out this week: Search & Destroy (Fantagraphics, $14.99):
Atsushi Kaneko reimagines Osamu Tezuka’s Dororo as a “cyberpunk thriller” in this first of three volumes. The original Dororo was set in feudal Japan and featured a swordsman and a thief hunting for the swordsman’s organs, which were bartered away by his father to demons in exchange for dominance on the battlefield. Search & Destroy moves the story into a dystopian post-cold-war future where mercenary robots serve the human elite and victimize the city’s scrabbling, desperate masses. The violent death of one of these robots connects an orphaned thief named Doro with a mysterious girl with deadly cybernetic implants.
