I just got a small graphic novel of the series called Marvel Mangaverse, and
I was wonderin what you guys who have probably read it think about it. The one I got has 2 stories.




[spoiler]the first is about captain marvel and the fanatastic for trying to stop galactus, who is a giant parasite, from sucking up all the earth's energy. the other one has to deal with the occult a bit but about doctor doom taking NYC hostage, killing most of the avengers (not to mention beheading Capt. America) , and now doctor strange, tigra, black panther, have to fight him in order to stop his reign of terror[/spoiler]

I've read the Spider Man one and loved it. It's not better or worse then the original, it's just different.

I haven't read the other one, but I've seen and read the Spider-Man and X-Men ones. They were pretty cool, especially the X-Men one.

Well, I have read some of the issues of the series, it was good. I have flipped through some of the original specials. One of them, either Fantastic Four or the Avengers, was extremely vulgar, but with the language bleeped out.
Some of the new miniseries based on the Mangaverse, such as X-Men: Phoenix are MAX comics, which means "Adults Only". Frankly, I've not looked at them for that reason.

From what I've seen, yeah I do agree that the spider-man one sounds good. Sadly I have never read it, what's the story there, is any different? I heard everything is ninja style there? How cool is DD in their really?
