Publisher Description. This August, Marvel’s Stormbreakers take the heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe out of their element and into fantastical new worlds in Isekai variant covers.
“Isekai,” Japanese for “a different world,” is a subgenre popular in manga, anime, and video game storytelling in which a protagonist is transported to another realm. The Stormbreakers’ imagination runs wild with the concept across these new covers, pulling Marvel characters into strange settings and depicting them with striking new designs and powers. The new collection arrives just ahead of the Marvel Mangaverse 25th anniversary one-shots, five special one-shots revisiting the world of Marvel Mangaverse and introducing new manga-inspired versions of iconic Marvel heroes.
The current class of Marvel’s Stormbreakers include Alessandro Cappuccio (Ultimate Wolverine), Netho Diaz (X-Men), Simone Di Meo (X-Men of Apocalypse), Juan Frigeri (Ultimates), Gurihiru (Jeff the Land Shark), Jonas Scharf (Ultimate Endgame), Geoff Shaw (Wade Wilson: Deadpool), and Luciano Vecchio (Uncanny X-Men).
Check out the first five Isekai variant covers and preorder all eight at your local comic shop today.
