Spiderman : Fake Red
Name : Spiderman Fake Red/スパイダーマン 偽りの赤 Author/Artist : Oosawa Yusuke (Green Worldz, Star Wars The Mandalorian) Quote:
Comic readers on other forums seemed to largely enjoy it, especially the mangaka's thematics on what it means to be a hero, metaphorical adoption of roles in life, etc. (They say they found it even better than what USA-based writers come up with.) Sadly the series was cancelled after 14 chapters, due to low Japanese sales. (FYI that Fake Red was the winning entry in a 2018 Marvel/Kodansha-sponsored manga competition held in Japan. Winner got 3 million yen and contract to publish the manga in Shounen Magazine.) Last edited by zztop; 2024-02-24 at 10:06. |

Like the runner-up entry to Fake Red, Kid Venom, whose premise is "the Alien Symbiote bonded with the legendary Sakata Kintoki/Kintarou". https://old.reddit.com/r/manga/comme...ed_manga_gets/ (Interestingly Marvel will be serialising it starting this April - they got the mangaka to do the story and art, but chose to skip the Japanese market and directly publish it for Western/US readers in a 4-issue comic miniseries.) https://www.marvel.com/articles/comi...gami-new-cover https://comicbookclublive.com/2024/0...nom-origins-1/ Or the ongoing Spiderman : Octopus Girl, which features the adventures of Otto Octavius after a consciousness transfer attempt ends up with his soul cohabiting the body of a Japanese middle school girl (it's more wholesome than it sounds, plus its from the same team that did MHA Vigilantes). https://www.marvel.com/articles/cult...tles-viz-media Last edited by zztop; 2024-02-26 at 06:59. |
