Marvel Comics has a new miniseries in the works by superstar cover artist Peach Momoko called Demon Days: X-Men. The first issue is set to release in comic book shops on March 3rd. First announced in December, the series is Momoko’s Marvel Comics writing and interior art debut, but you may know her work from her variant covers across the comics industry.
So what’s it about?
DEMON DAYS: X-MEN sets the stage with a thrilling tale about a wandering swordswoman with a psychic blade and a black and white demon with a terrifying red tongue. Fans will be mesmerized as they meet their favorite characters such as Wolverine, Psylocke, and Venom, reimagined in a way that can only come from Peach Momoko.
“The entire series takes place in Japan. I will be introducing numerous Marvel characters in a brand-new format. So, I would like everyone to forget about what they are supposed to be in the real Marvel universe. My characters aren’t super heroes. Some are samurai, some are oni and other yōkai, some are shamans, some are yojimbos… and many others,” Momoko told Marvel.com. “I pushed a lot of boundaries with all the characters. I hope everyone enjoys the different versions that I created.”
