Marvel Announces DEMON WARS: SHIELD OF JUSTICE in November
Marvel Comics recently launched a new take on the iconic comic event Civil War in Peach Momoko’s Demon Wars: The Iron Samurai. I love Momoko’s art style and her previous takes on Marvel characters and stories so I’m pumped for this one. Once again, Momoko will blend the classic story beats with more traditional Japanese folklore. Marvel then shared a little bit about the next chapter Demon Wars: Shield of Justice.
It’s Iron Samurai VS. Shield of Justice! Mariko Yashida is torn between two worlds: the human world and the yokai dimension--a strange world filled with stranger creatures. The denizens of the yokai dimension need Mariko’s help to stop a war that’s brewing between two factions, one led by the Iron Samurai and his spider-like ally, and the other by a shield-wielding warrior and his panther-like right hand. The clash between them could have cataclysmic consequences for both worlds!
Talking about this series, Momoko said:
I am very happy to expand the series and get to show more of the love that I have for Japanese folklore and the way it inspires me with new stories told through my Momoko-verse lens. I am also very excited to redesign even more characters because I love character designing! It is a honor to tell my version of the classic Marvel Comics event, Civil War. My story and characters are already so different from the main Marvel Universe designs, and this series will give fans a chance to see even more fun layers and different takes on Marvel storytelling.
Fans can read Shield of Justice on November 11. The comic is written and illustrated by Momoko and co-scripted by Zack Davisson.
