quote:

DEMON DAYS: X-MEN #1 will be the start of a five-part prestige series bringing to life characters like Wolverine, Psylocke, Venom, and more in Momoko’s one-of-a-kind style. Each issue of the series, released once every three months, will feature some of the most popular Marvel heroes, setting the stage for an all-new saga that will leave fans mesmerized.

quote:

As both the writer and the artist, what was the first thing you wanted to tackle when creating DEMON DAYS: X-MEN #1?

Because I love yōkai stories, horror stories, Japanese folktales, classic samurai tales… I wanted to tackle as much as possible telling these concepts with the Marvel characters and make something Marvel fans can still appreciate [while bringing] in a fresh direction. Also, I had to know how much I can push Marvel’s boundaries in character designing and storytelling.

I know Psylocke put them in an impossible position, and the compromise they hit on was probably the closest you could manage without the luxury of, say, being a movie that can just cast a British-Asian actor as her, but have they managed to make anyone give a poo poo about Revanche?

She's in Hellions and I like the book but she's not the main draw.

She's pretty good in Hellions, but she's basically just a slightly more ornery classic Psylocke in terms of disposition. If the fact that she was back in her own body wasn't a pre-established plot point, I don't think anyone would be able to tell the difference.

I do like her more than Betsy, but that's mostly just because Captain Britain and Otherworld stuff makes me roll my eyes, even if the actual Excalibur book has been pretty good.

Also just in general I really like Hellions as a comic. It feels more X-Force-y than X-Force.

Last night I had a literal fever dream that involved Franklin Richards being turned into basically a drider by his cosmic powers backfiring and he took on the codename "Arachnodude" so I think Marvel should do that and pay me, thank you.

Maybe it was just me being young, but I thought I remembered more to Kwannon than just showing up, snarking at Betsy a little, going on an adventure together then making out with Angel before she dies from the Legacy virus.

On a possibly similar note, I just went through Chip Zdarsky's Peter Parker run (plus the Waid OGN that he based off) and how do people feel about Peter's sister being a for-real thing now? I know a lot of people don't love the Parkers being CIA/SHIELD agents but can mostly ignore it because it never really matters, but Teresa kinda throws that stuff front and centre. Plus it seems like Chip's got a thing for retconning siblings, considering he apparently made Mike Murdock real as well?

Mike Murdock being real is from Charles Soule's run, though Zdarsky integrated him more fully.

Chip kinda zig-zagged this, but her dating Johnny Storm seems like it'd be the perfect set-up for a little running soap-opera bit and let her peek out from Spider-Man titles a little.

I also really like the idea of Jameson being in on the secret identity changes almost nothing about how obnoxious he is regarding Spidey, just the tone of that obnoxiousness.

They keep saying they were CIA, but they talk about them saving the world with ray guns from Hyrda and poo poo, and when Teresa contacts her old handler and finds her birth certificate it's Nick Fury Sr, so not really sure why they're not outright just said to be SHIELD?

The worst kind of tornado.

might be sliding timeline stuff, too. I'm not sure when the public facing non Leonardo da Vinci arm of SHIELD even starts in the current continuity but it might be a situation where they don't want to make Spider-Man's parents be active before the magic crime wizard war in Southeast Asia or something

Also, I'd just like to point out, I called it.

quote:

In The Rise of Ultraman, we had to create a whole new universe (built on the powerful concepts and characters of the original television shows). Then, in the final issue of Rise, we turned that world upside.

Now, in The Trials of Ultraman, we get to really explore this new universe

Gripweed posted:

Rise of Ultraman #4. Jesus Christ. I am astounded. So this entire loving 5 issue miniseries exists to set up for some future Ultraman series why the USP acts in the open and why the monsters are giant. Two things which literally every Ultraman series just has as the basic premise. Giant monsters exist and there is an organization to fight them. But no, not Marvel Ultraman. They need a five issue miniseries to explain why there are giant monsters and an organization that fights them. And the explanation is, well the monsters used to be small and the organization used to be secret but then stuff happened and the monsters got big.

This is the dumbest loving thing.

Trials of Ultraman will explain why Ultraman can get big.
Revenge of Ultraman will explain why Ultraman fights monsters while he's big
Dawn of Ultraman will lay the groundwork for Ultraman's first battle against a giant monsters.
That first fight will happen in an event book.

That would own. I know about Encouragement of Climb and Laid-Back Camp, but I don't think there's a comic just about hiking.
