:D
I enjoyed both issues XD They made Dr. Strange even cooler in here. The art was okay, though the characters looked a bit chibi like.The only thing i didnt like much was the way they drew Iron Gal...dang, her forehead's bigger then Sakura's..Hell...it can eat sakura whole :P

It sucks that they had to kill Bruce and Stark....and the second volume, they had killed the president, who in fact, was Cpt. America. :laugh Kinda annoying how they killed major character.

okay..gunna review the main characters:

Dr. Strange and Tigra: Heh...they're both amusing together...Stephen looks way younger than he did in the comic. Tigra...was a wee bit too muscular for me, but i liked her 'noisy' personality. oh, and strage's costume: ownage

X Men Ronin: Wasn't shown much, but...wtf is with cyclops' head gear? It looks a wee bit too freaky.

Ant Man: :D He was okay, the guitar thing was a cool idea...

FF4: T_T i hated Richards...veeery annoying...

Spidey: hehe, he's personality's not that much different than our spidey. Specially the way he talks to himself :laugh

Bruce Banner: erm...he somehow reminds me of Keitarou (love hina) in a way :D Iron gal.... I didn't like her much....

blargh...there's just too many of them to talk about...you discuss :tem

Question: are there other volumes? I've travelled far and wide *no, really* looking for both volumes...and i only found the second volume in a book convention...

And while im at it: Any one read X men: Ronin? The artwork's pretty cool :D but the change of character roles *prof x = baddie; Toad = goodie*...kinda weird for me..IDK, just got me all confused...
And yep, i can't find the next few volumes here either...:crying Anyone here can provide me with scans of it?

I thought I would just let you know there will be a new round of the "Marvel Mangaverse." Character sketches are about halfway down.

To be honest I hated the marvel mangaverse, more specifically the Spider-Man one. Just because you draw characters with big eyes and throw in some ninja doesn't make it manga.

Ryoichi Ikegami(of Crying Freeman fame) did a Spider-Man manga years back and although it was really screwed up(a lot of sexual stuff and lots of people being killed) I enjoyed it overall. Here are the covers to the lastest releases

The Ikegami manga had some depth to it. Although his Spider-Man didn't have an Uncle Ben incident, Spider-Man Learned of responsibility, but he messed up a lot inbetween. The american made Mangaverse was just ninja, anime cliches all thrown together with no depth and maybe a cool character design here and there(The first Daredevil design was awesome, but he had horrible dialogue).

You would think with the real manga artists they bring in from time to time(Kia Asamiya, there was a Wolvernine story recently that used a manga artist I believe, and Shinkiro of Capcom has done a couple of Spider-Man unlimited covers) that they would use those guys and try to create a more genuine mangaverse.
