Viz To Republish Manga Adaptation Of X-Men: The Animated Series

Viz to Republish Japanese Manga Adaptation of X-Men: The Animated Series in the USA, as well as Octo-Girl by Hideyuki Furuhashi

When Marvel made the X-Men: The Animated Series back in the nineties, there was also a manga adaptation of the cartoon published in Japan. It was initially published directly to tankobon, or stand-alone collected format by Takeshobo in 1994 under their Bamboo Comics imprint in order to promote the Japanese airing of the TV show, across 13 volumes, each volume adapting two episodes from the TV series,. The series covered the first two seasons of X-Men: The Animated Series, written by Hiroshi Higuchi with a different artist drawing each story. In 1998, Marvel Comics adapted the manga into English as a monthly title, publishing 26 issues covering the first 13 stories. And now, as X-Men '97 comes to Disney+, Viz Media is to republish and remaster the manga series in a series of volumes, beginning in November.
