If you’re not familiar, DC vs. Marvel was a comic book series published in 1995 and 1996. The story centered around two powerful beings – representing the DC and Marvel universes – discovering each other and starting a conflict. To prevent their fight from destroying both universes, they merged into a single entity, creating a brand new universe filled with characters who were combinations of heroes from both DC and Marvel. This new universe was called the Amalgam Universe, and thirty years ago today, DC and Marvel released a series of new comic books under the ‘Amalgam Comics’ label, taking crossovers to a whole new level.

He had worked as a drawing instructor at a private high school where the incident occurred. Following news of his recent arrest and indictment for violating child pornography laws and receiving a fine, Shogakukan announced that Yamamoto (Shoichi’s pen name) is no longer affiliated with the company and “Operation Fallen Angel” has been cancelled. Shogakukan also admitted a mistake in allowing him to continue working under a different pseudonym, “Ichiro Ichi,” as the author of a new series, “Ordinary Mask.”

Martin’s books. The series doesn’t directly address this discrepancy, but the backstory explains it, and an upcoming prequel about Aegon’s Conquest is expected to provide a full explanation.
