Yu-Gi-Oh Creator Kazuki Takahashi Creates Spider-Man/Iron Man Manga
Viz Media has announced the news that Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi is working on a new manga for the publisher – and for Marvel Comics, Secret Reverse is a new manga featuring Marvel characters Spider-Man and Iron Man as they "travel to Japan to battle an evil gaming magnate and his deadly new technology". Secret Reverse will be published in the Summer of 2022.
Takahashi created the manga Yu-Gi-Oh! in 1996 after fourteen years in the industry, which led to the creation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game published by Konami. Originally intended as a one-shot in the manga's episodic introduction of new games, Shueisha – publisher of the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine – received so many letters and fan-mail asking aboutthat Takahashi decided to extend it. And the rest is history. Takahashi has continued to supervise the creation of Yu-Gi-Oh! manga since the end of the original manga's run, but now he is returning to bring the Marvel Universe under its sway, and both writing and drawing the manga, and it will be in canon with the rest of the Marvel 616.
It's only one of a number of announcements for NYCC by Viz Media however. The Promised Neverland: Art Book World featuring Posuka Demizu's artwork, as well as creator commentary and interviews, is also out in the summer of 2022.
