The classic
Ultraman tokusatsu TV series from the '60s live on today as a manga from Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi that's published in Shogakukan's Monthly Hero manga magazine. The series has been running since 2011 and currently has 10 volumes in print. VIZ Media publishes an English-translated version in North America.
Per ANN, the December issue of the manga magazine contains a special announcement pertaining to Shimizu and Shimoguchi's manga series, which follows the son of the Ultraman from the '60s, who discovers that he's inherited his father's awesome powers. Anime fans are hoping that it's an anime announcement but it's probably more likely that another live-action adaptation is in the works. Check back next month for details on what's announced.
