Viz Media Unveils "X-Men The Manga: Remastered"
Marvel's merry mutants are returning to the manga world this fall.
Marvel is finding itself dancing with the manga more often these days. Most recently, Deadpool had a surprise appearance in a "fake" manga special dubbed "Secret Steward" just in time to celebrate the theatrical success of Deadpool & Wolverine. In recent years, Marvel and Viz have released major manga series including Deadpool: Samurai, Spider-Man: Fake Red, Wolverine: Snikt, Spider-Man: Octo-Girl, Marvel's Secret Reverse, and more. Now, Viz is planning to remaster an older Marvel manga series that will be an eye-opener for fans of the recent X-Men '97 in X-Men The Manga: Remastered.
If this is your first time hearing of X-Men The Manga, the series is an adaptation of the original animated series that was released in 1992. Created by manga artist Hiroshi Higuchi, the series received thirteen volumes before coming to an end. The upcoming remaster will house the entirety of the series and will be available for Western fans this November.
X-Men Return To The Manga World
The X-Men aren't strangers to the anime world either, receiving their own anime series in the early 2000s when Marvel teamed up with Studio Madhouse. At present, there is no word on a new X-Men manga series in the works, but Marvel and Viz Media are still working in a partnership so this could change.
