VIZ Media announced yesterday that their manga app has now added Marvel titles to the service. This is part of the collaboration between the giants of two distinct sides of the biggest comic book industries in the world, which began in 2022 when they combined the superpowered legacy of various Marvel heroes and the storytelling form of manga. This yielded a number of successful manga titles that feature Marvel superheroes in a way that they hadn't been seen before.
Now, users of the VIZ Manga app can read various Marvel titles, from Spider-Man: Fake Red by Yusuke Osawa (Star Wars: The Mandalorian: The Manga), to Wolverine: Snikt! by Tsutomu Nihei (Knights of Sidonia), and users of the app have an exciting one-month promotion waiting for them.
Among the aforementioned Spider-Man and Wolverine manga now available on the VIZ Manga app, users will also be able to enjoy Spider-Man: Octo-Girl by; Deadpool: Samurai by Sanshiro Kusama and Hikaru Uesugi, which was originally released on Shonen Jump+ and featured a cameo appearance from My Hero Academia's All Might; Marvel's Secret Reverse by Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi, with the highly anticipated X-Men: The Manga: Remastered by Hiroshi Higuchi coming to the service this Fall.
Marvel Comics: A Manga Tribute, an artbook featuring illustrations of Marvel characters from over twenty manga artists such as Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess author Akira Himekawa; Trigun author Yasuhiro Nightow, One-Punch Man manga illustrator Yusuke Murata; Marvel comic book artist Peach Momoko, and several others, was released among the aforementioned titles in July 2023.
Subscribers to VIZ Manga are being offered a one-month subscription to the Marvel Unlimited app from April 16 to May 16, granting them access to the entire library of Marvel comics. A unique promo code for the special will be sent to the subscriber's inbox; while all users will be given access to a number of free chapters. The offer is only available in the United States.
Marvel and VIZ's collaboration to combine comics and manga is part of a growing trend mostly influenced by the overwhelming growth of the anime and manga industries in the latter part of the 2010s leading into the 2020s. That being said; however, the first time Marvel explored this concept was over 20 years ago with the Marvel Mangaverse (Earth-2301) which ran from 2000 to 2002 and had a sequel in 2006. Almost 30 years before that, Hulk got the manga treatment in 1970, so this isn't a new concept; however, this is the first time this collision of worlds is taking place at a time when anime and manga have become globally mainstream.

I've been wishing I could be Spider-Man for as long as I can remember, but the closest I've come to replicating that fictional feeling is by swinging around New York as the web-slinger in Insomniac's Spidey games. The idea of actually being able to fire webs from my wrists was an unattainable goal since, well, radioactive spiders aren't a thing, and if they were, being bitten by one probably wouldn't result in the development of superpowers. Kids today won't need to rely on that impossibility as Hasbro has created real-life Web Blasters, no radioactive spider bite needed.
Pokemon is a multimedia juggernaut and its the various forms it comes in that have made it so massively popular for more than two and a half decades.

Housemarque got us all excited on Monday when it teased something regarding Returnal to mark the game's third anniversary would be dropping 24 hours later.
