The other idea began when EIC Joe Quesada told Smitty that Ben Dunn, he of Ninja High School fame, had pitched him the idea of doing wild Eastern-influenced versions of our most famous characters. So Joe and Smitty thought it would be really fun to invite Manga-influenced artists to totally remake the Marvel Universe in Anime style, while still preserving that special something that makes our heroes and villains so... well, Marvel.
And that is the secret origin of Marvel Mangaverse, the three-week event that's coming your way in January 2002. There are a few things I really like about how this idea shaped up. Number one, it takes place in only eight books, it's not some 32-part crossover, so it won't break your bank. Second, it's totally self-contained, so if you don't care for Manga, it won't impact on your regular monthly Marvel mags. Third, it centers on the characters you like, such as the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. We even threw in cool horror characters like Hellstorm and Werewolf by Night just to make things interesting. I'm also impressed by both the line-up of creators and the story ideas and art they've turned in so far. And C.B., since he's an expert in Asian culture, is even writing a book himself! Finally, I like the fact that each book gives you a different flavor. The naughty hi-jinks of Punisher is not like Spider-Man's story of a young hero's quest and neither is like the monsterific Ghost Rider.
Not sure what this has to do with New X-Men. Esspecially since the summary of New Dawn #1 has got nothing to do with New X-Men. May be it's just a typo.
