Marvel Comics/Shonen Jump Manga Collaboration Includes Halloween Avengers
Yesterday, Bleeding Cool broke the news that Marvel Comics and Shonen Jump would be collaborating on a new series of manga published in Japan, with a first chapter being written and drawn by Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi.
And, it seems the final chapter. Because we now have more details. These will be a series of seven manga short stories, being published biweekly on the Shonen Jump+ website, starting tomorrow and running until November 27th.
Here are the creator line-ups, with artwork for each.
Secret Reverse – Part I by Kazuki Takahashi on September 4th.
Gag Reel by Hachi Mizuno of Akuten Wars for September 18th.
Interview with Heroes by Ken Ogino of Lady Justice for October 2nd.
Samurai by Sanshirō Kasama and Hikaru Uesugi of Tsugihagi Quest for October 16th.
Halloween Avengers by Mato of Darling in the Franxx, on October 30th.
Antman+ by Toyotaka Haneda, of Vocchi-men, on November 13th.

The place of Halloween in Japanese culture may be in intriguing one in this case. While Halloween has become a bigger thing in Japan over the last ten years, there is no trick or treating… it's all about the costume parties, child and adult alike. It may be interesting to see how Halloween Avengers will mix and match US and Japanese culture over such an important date.
