Although no specific <em>Marvel </em>titles were announced for this project, the article specifically mentions some "manga-influenced" drawings of<strong><em> Iron Man</em></strong>.
 
I'm interested what the Japanese take on western superheroes will be like. Though to be honest, Marvel characters like Iron Man seem pretty well covered by American cinema anyway.
 
I've heard some sort of re-imagining of the origins of some marvel super heroes. To be honest, I liked the batman stuff, hope marvel does justice their amazing franchises.
 
Oh God, I've said I'd love to see Marvel characters re-imagined like this so many times, and now it happens! I should start hoping for more.

My words exactly... I need to see more!!! =D it just remind me of some weird cross over between spider man and power rangers... I know super sentai is huge in japan, but that's is simply too absurd.. well, wait a moment. I'm talking about super heroes here, isn't it?
 
Maybe Top Cow's Witchblade anime was successful enough, or done well enough to encourage Marvel to let some of their characters be used. Also if it works out they could make a haul redoing a load of their comics for a Japanese audience.
