Marvel has revealed fans who pick up King in Black #4 will get an early look at Peach Momoko’s Demon Days: X-Men #1. The six-page bonus story is written and drawn by Momoko from her upcoming five-part series which was announced in December.
“A dream come true. Not only did Marvel offer me to do interiors, but to do everything myself and tell a Marvel story like no other. A ‘Momoko-verse’ was born,” Momoko told Marvel.com. “Because I love Yokai stories, horror, Japanese folktales, classic samurai tales… I wanted to tackle as much as possible using these concepts with Marvel characters and make something Marvel fans can still appreciate but also bring it in a fresh direction.”
The choice to add this bonus story makes sense especially since King in Black #4 sports the X-Men on the cover. For a taster, check out the teaser for Momoko’s bonus story below.
