X-Men Go Manga

A while back, Marvel Comics and Del Rey announced that they were working on two new English-language manga takes on the X-Men. Now, the first artwork from these works have surfaced.

The first title is a shounen ("boys") manga title dealing with Wolverine.



The other title is a shoujo ("girls") title with Kitty Pryde being the only girl at Professor Xavier's school.



Even though they didn't get Japanese artists to do the artwork for these titles, I like it. It's certainly a unique take on the characters.

Also, this character sketch from the shoujo X-Men title doesn't exactly fit HFG's mold but it's too funny not to post. It's interesting that they took this character this way instead of making him a big cat/dog boy...

  1. The look for Kurt is...interesting, to say the least. They've really played up the demonic features.

    I could kill them for what they've done to Hank, though. Agh.
