This sounds really interesting. Like a guy said in that post. I hope getting real manga artist will be abel to show people the differnce of drawing characters with big eyes(which most people right away say is manga art) and the real deal. Too bad they didn't get these manga artist to do the marvel Mangaverse. I just got the first issue to Legend of the Spiderclan and it is ok in terms of art. Has anyone here who has read that issue find the art and character design similar to Jet Set Radio?

I kinda liked Ben Dunn's Mangaverse comics. I have an issue that he autographed for me too. I also liked a couple of the Mangaverse titles, like Avengers, Fantastic Four, and Punisher (also autographed).
As for Kia Asamiya... well... I don't really like what he's done for X-men so far, except for Iceman. I think Iceman looks cooler now.

I loved the original Spider-clan one shot. But I was not impressed by the first issue of the mini-series. The writing was not as good. The artwork was beautiful like the first one.
I've only seen screenshots of Jet Set Radio and I don't think Spider-clan looks like it. Spider-clan might look similar because it has the cell-shaded coloring done. I don't think its actually inked, the pencilled pages get digitally colored. That's where its similar to Jet Set Radio and its cell shaded appearance. Otherwise I think Andrews has his own distinct art style which I love to death.

I really like Andrews Hulk covers, they really get me psyched for an issue. I am thinkabout getting U X-M 23 because of Andrews art, but I usually wait for the TPB so I don't know. Is Andrews doing the art for the whole Hellfire and Brimstone arc? I am more of a fan of the Kubert art, but Andrews is a nice change.
I really liked the Daredevil design, although is dialouge wasn't all that hot.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - Unless I am missing something it is a shame I check out www.ledheavy.com too much or else I would have suspected that Felicia stayed dead. At the site they show a design for the Blackcat. And unless stated otherwise it seems she is coming back. I really digged the transformation into the black costume too.

Agreed. As for Ultimate X-Men, Kubert did the first two parts to the Hellfire and Brimstone arc, and I think Andrews did the 3rd part. So its a little bit uncool because the art styles are so different. I also love the Kubert art and I kind of wish Ultimate X-Men had remained his book. But its hard to get a regular monthly artist.
I want to start buying paperbacks but its hard for me not getting single issues. I got to have the story now!

"Mile High Comics and NEWSARAMA"

On a side note -- I'm looking at the note that NEWSARAMA is presented by Mile High Comics, right here in Denver. Heh -- I didn't know Mile High Comics was this heavy a provider... I haven't been that heavy into the graphic novels and comics scenes, but now that I know more about it, I suppose I oughta check it out next time I'm by it -- now that it's got my attention. (It's not in the most metropolitan-looking part of Denver, but it's still pretty close to downtown.)
