Marvel Comics classic X-Men was recently adapted into a shoujo manga of all things, not inappropriately titled “X-Men: Misfits” – a comparison is visible above.
Although the artist responsible are apparently small-time shoujo mangaka, the title itself is written and published in English for the American market, probably explaining the extremely awkward mismatch of genres – an equivalent Japanese version might be expected to fall firmly into the shonen demographic.
Perhaps fortunately for fans of both shoujo and Marvel, the title appears to have sunk without trace…
yeah,No! ill stick to the american 1.if theres one thing u dont mess around is american classic comic books,the moder ones i can careless but x men, spider batman etc u leave those alone!
Lol it looks like a shojo manga.
Its “X-men” vs. “Double-X Chromosome Men”!
hehe, i like how the authors/artists go from totally bullshit people, Raina Telgemeier (seriously, she must be jewish or something) and Dave Roman (he could be a pizza delivery guy); and then there’s Anzu. He’s the badass of badasses who takes this comic to epic status. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t all be reading HIS comic as we speak. [/sarcasm]
No joke, I actually own the first Misfits volume 🙂
