Marvel is turning Japanese, teaming up with the acclaimed Madhouse animation studio behind Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers to reinvent the comic book publisher’s classic heroes in an anime style.
A first look at the anime versions of Wolverine and Iron Man ‘ stars of two of four planned Marvel series ‘ will be shown at the Marvel Animation panel, next Friday at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
Acclaimed comic book creator and show writer Warren Ellis will present the anime programs and sign autographs afterward in the Marvel booth.
The series are expected to begin airing in Japan on the Animax channel in spring 2010.
