The Marvel manga-verse is putting a twist on Superior Spider-Man and X-Men: The Animated Series. Along with the just-announced Ultraman and Spider-Man manga crossover Ultraman: Along Came a Spider, Viz Media debuted the covers for Spider-Man: Octo-Girl and X-Men: The Manga: Remastered during its "What's New at Viz?" panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. The new Spider-Man manga will hit stores on October 8th, followed by the long-awaited re-release of the Takeshobo-published X-Men: The Animated Series manga adaptation on November 12th.

From My Hero Academia: Vigilantes creative team Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court, Spider-Man: Octo-Girl Vol. 1 reimagines Marvel's Superior Spider-Man storyline that saw a villainous Otto Octavius — the metal-limbed Doctor Octopus — transfer his consciousness into Peter Parker's body.

The 512-page X-Men: The Manga: Remastered Vol. 1 collects the English version of the '90s manga adaptation of X-Men: The Animated Series by Hiroshi Higuchi, Koji Yasue, Miyako Kojima, Reiji Hagiwara, Rei Nakahara and Hirofumi Ichikawa.
