One-Punch Man Artist and More Manga Favorites are Teaming Up for Marvel Comics Tribute

By Nick Valdez

One-Punch Man's illustrator, Witch Hat Atelier's creator and many more manga and art stars are going to be coming together for a new collaborative tribute for the heroes and villains of Marvel Comics! While superheroes have become much more widespread of an idea amongst manga creators in recent years, there have also been a greater number of fun collaborations with the superheroes found in Marvel's various comics. This has included some fresh takes on these classic heroes from some notable creators such as Yu-Gi-Oh's Kazuki Takahashi, and now many more will be offering their eyes on more famous stories.

Viz Media announced during New York Comic Con that they will be launching a special new collection dubbed Marvel Comics: A Manga Tribute on shelves in the United States some time next Summer. While there is no release date for the new collection just yet, Viz Media has revealed the first look at these new tributes that showcase new takes on Marvel heroes Spider-Man, Black Bolt, Doctor Strange, and Ms. Marvel from some very notable names from the manga world. You can check it out below: 

Viz Media has announced they have gathered 20 artists in total for Marvel Comics: A Manga Tribute. While the full line up has yet to be revealed, the initially confirmed collaborators joining the fun include One-Punch Man illustrator Yusuke Tabata, Witch Hat Atelier series creator Kamome Shirahama, Shigeto Koyama (who has worked on the likes of Studio Trigger's Promare, Star Wars: Visions, Big Hero 6 and more), and Sana Takeda (known for Monstress, and has already worked with Marvel Comics on previous projects like Venom, Civil War II and more). 

This isn't the first time that Marvel's heroes or villains would be getting an official manga adaptation of some sort, and hopefully it is far from the last. Viz Media will be releasing the new collection next year, so there's still plenty of time to find out what other creators could potentially join the project as the months roll on. Not only that, but perhaps we'll get to see what characters they will be taking on too! 

Which Marvel heroes or villains do you want to see in this manga tribute? What are you hoping to see from this new look at the famous world? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments!
