“I am very excited to be able to expand the series and show the love I have for Japanese folklore and how it inspires my new stories through my Momoko lens“said the Japanese cartoonist.”I’m also really looking forward to being able to reinterpret other characters because I love trying my hand at character design!“.
A recent example of character design by Peach Momoko is the illustration featuring an amalgamation of Gwen Stacy and Wolverine used as the variant cover for Gwenverse #2.
“I’m honored to be able to narrate my version of the Marvel Comics Civil War event“Momoko continued.”My story and characters are very different from those seen in the main Marvel universe, and the series will allow readers to explore other levels of interpretation and other approaches to Marvel storytelling.“.
