Marvel gets Manga-erized
08/01/2008 . Source: Jessica Martin 
Marvel Entertainment and Del Rey Manga are buddying up to produce two new manga series based on Marvel's X-Men series. Go strange teenage mutants, go. Buy X-Men in the USA - or Buy X-Men in the UK  The manga, created with the cooperation and consultation of Marvel editors, will take characters from the X-Men series and re-imagine them in a manga style.
The first project, scripted by the husband-and-wife team of Raina Telgemeier (writer and illustrator of The Babysitter's Club graphic novels) and Dave Roman (creator of the comic Agnes Quill), will focus specifically on the X-Men team.
Indonesian artist Anzu will illustrate the two-volume series, which will go on sale in Spring 2009.
A second manga series will follow the adventures of Wolverine, that hard-to-kill member of the X-Men team best known for his attitude and unbreakable adamantium claws. Snick!
