Ultraverse was no doubt on the forefront of coming up with creative ideas to promote their comic book line and their characters. From CD-Romix (comic books with voice acting on CD), Direct-to-VHS movies with Firearm and more.
In June 1993, a free “Ultraverse Monthly” was released and it’s a magazine dedicated on covering ultrahuman action.
It was no doubt an interesting way of promoting a character through the eyes of journalists.
From a readers/letters column, rumor section, newswatch, gossip, Remebering the Squad, Thom Hunter’s “Devil take the Hindmost” column, Peter Hill’s Ultra Focus column, a money column section and for the most part, a magazine covering what’s going on in Ultra events.
A total of six were made and eventually they would start charging .50 an issue. But while it was several pages long, it was a fascinating read if you were an Ultraverse fan!
