Ultramaniac

In 2009, Panini Brasil launched Ultramaniac, a five-issue series that reimagines the classic superhero mythos with a distinctly Brazilian twist. Created by a team of local talent, the series follows a young protagonist who discovers an ancient, powerful artifact that grants incredible abilities, forcing them to confront both personal demons and a looming cosmic threat. Though brief, this self-contained run stands as a vibrant, culturally specific entry in the global superhero landscape, showcasing the creativity of Brazilian comics during the late 2000s.
