It's gonna be crap. Basically they're cutting corners and expenses by hiring crappy artists. Wolverine Snikt! was good example of doing a blend right with a good author. I mean come on look at the bio of one of the authors "Raina Telgemeier is best known for her work as the writer and illustrator of The Babysitter's Club graphic novels"

Well...that's...an..interesting take on Wolverine

Hopefully that was just a quick sketch of wolverine and they're going to use GOOD art for it... seriously.. that shit looks like art drawn by 12 year olds...

*goes to check links*

I just want to know how you take a manly badass and turn him into some pre-teen girl-boy on his way to an AFI concert?

Hopefully the artist on the Wolverine manga will be decent, since the X-Men manga and Wolverine manga don't share a continuity. Maybe he won't like girly Shojo Wolverine.
... Stupid Shojo Wolverine.

Just showing X-Men meeting anime, as that intro was just used in Japan

it's just wrong. You don't have shoujo artists draw Wolverine it looks as if it was drawn by a stoned Yuu Watase, now if they had some like Takeshi Obata or Kohta Hirano draw it then it would be a dream come true.

A Takeshi Obata Wolverine would be pretty sweet but I have problem with Kohta Hirano's art. His proportions are all wonky... everyone has super long arms and legs.

Yes but his drawing of a badass Wolverine fight would just be amazing.

But yeah... What would you think of Yutaka Minowa doing it?

he'd be pretty good, I loved the designs for Vampire hunter D, but I'd be a bit afraid of some of the characters being turned into bishonens.

... is Gambit in this? ermm

Oh for f*cks sake... anime bullshit should never touch comics... ever.

God... I hate you for bringing this to my attention.

Wolverine Snikt! was actually pretty good.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirohiko_Araki

I really hope he does some of the characters, or at least 1 book. The man's art style is completely unique in the world of mangaka.

I actually think it's a pretty clever way for Marvel to strike out at manga.

Veteran to the comics world doesn't know whether to try out manga... sees horrible, horrible, godawful rendition of Manga X-Men. Decides to buy latest edition of Astonishing X-Men instead, and will never buy manga again. Ever.

I'm placing my bet on a shonen-ai Gambit Cyclops romance.

Therefore, X-Men: The Manga will be a shojo title, marketed specifically to teenage girls. Editor Tricia Narwani called it "like X-Men meets Fruits Basket."

Sadly no. I think it's pretty clear that what Smurph said is correct, there's no way in hell it'll get any real female fans, and it'll just turn off any existing comics fans from looking into good real manga.

I seriously think that anybody buying an issue of X-Fruits should have their right to own/spend money revoked.

Hopefuly after these fail someone at Marvel loses their job.

Is Loeb writing it?

A X-men manga written/drawn by Hirano would be GODLY.

The man was a hentai artist for a reason !

But yeah , this X-fruits will most likely feature teh buttsex.

At least the X-fruitcakes might be written good.

Why, we bought Ultimates 3 and other Loeb titles, you didn't say anything about that....
