To mark the release of The Suicide Squad – Suicide Mission in Japanese theaters, Warner Bros. Paru hired Itagaki to create a poster for James Gunn’s film. Since one of the great protagonists is King Shark, a human-shark hybrid, Warner could only rely on the author of Beasts.
Continuation of the Suicide Squad 2016, this new cinematic appointment with the Criminal Task Force drived by Harley Quinn introduces several newcomers, including King shark, Villain who made his debut in the DC Comics universe in 1994. Given his imposing presence, who better to portray him than Paru Itagaki?
The Japanese author actually has a certain Affinity for anthropomorphic animals and his style perfectly matches that of The Suicide Squad’s disrespectful. For the uninitiated, Itagaki is responsible for Beastars and Beast Complex, two works that led the reader to explore a world populated by anthropomorphic beasts.
The billboard that user @MangaMoguraRE shared on Twitter shows a smiling psychopath Harley Quinn upside down carry a rocket launcher. In the lower part, which is covered by a rain of bullets, we find a hungry king shark stained with blood.
What do you think of Itagaki’s artwork? We remind you that Sanda, the new manga from the author of Beastars, recently made its debut. Previously, Itagaki also worked on BotaBota.
“Beastars” creator Paru Itagaki created a promotional illustration for the Japanese release of the film “The Suicide Squad”.
