   Probably the first ever science-fiction manga featuring Spiderman versus the Purple Pirate

   Agggh! “Pacting”! Another noun acting as a verb!

   Oh good. I first mentioned this when the panel descriptions went up, thinking it was just the fact that I was not wired into the NY publishing scene that I didn’t know what was going on.

   I’m thinking it’s just Marvel trying it’s hand at Manga with someone who knows what they are doing.

   2 words:

   X-Men Yaoi.

   Are you kidding? I suspect that there is more Wolverine/Cyclops slash stories out there than Marvel’s entire X-Men output since the 60s…

   Actually, wasn’t Civil War just Pokemon for adults?

   How much more fun would CW have been if it were drawn that way?

   This makes total sense, and in a way, it was just a matter of time.

    So Random Haus is working with both Marvel AND DC. I suspect that Marvel might create a separate line, probably allowing Del Ray to license their properties produced overseas. Possibly similar to the Harlequin/Dark Horse romance manga, but backwards.

Meanwhile, Heidi MacDonald notes that Del Rey Manga and Marvel Comics may be up for a bit of collaborating as well. [...]
