Stan Lee Goes Manga
![]()
First there was classic mystery books, then there was Hollywood blockbuster maker/director. now there’s legendary comic book creator. Spiderman and X-men creator Stan “the man” Lee teams up with Shaman King’s Hiroyuki Takei to create a new manga series Karakuridōji Ultimo. the story:
The story of Ultimo revolves around two figures — Vice and Ultimo — who appear in the skies above Farmless City. Their super-powered clashes bring destruction upon the city and raises the questions of their origins and aims.

The manga will be featured on the premiere issue of Jump Square II, Image of Ultimo and Vise from the official site and news via Anime News Network.
Edit: also blogged on Badlands of my mind.
Edit2: No suprise that Stan Lee doesn’t speak a word of Japanese but according to Woho of Badlands of my mind, Hiroyuki Takei doesn’t speak english either. wonder how they got everything done right, hopefully no ideas were lost in translation. check out the first chaper on one manga. thanks to Woho.

It feels like an American comic book rather than a manga to me; maybe because it is in English.
