Viz Media Unveils "X-Men The Manga: Remastered"

As a longtime Marvel fan who grew up with the original X-Men animated series and the iconic “X-Men ’97”, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming release of “X-Men The Manga: Remastered“! Being a child of the 90s, I vividly remember the thrill of watching Jubilee’s adventures unfold each week. Now, it feels like Christmas come early to have this classic manga series back in print and available for Western fans.


Lately, Marvel Comics seems to be delving deeper into the world of Japanese manga. Notably, Deadpool made a sudden appearance in a fictitious manga titled “Secret Steward“, which coincided with the cinematic triumph of Deadpool & Wolverine. Over the past few years, Marvel Comics and Viz Media have collaborated on several significant manga series such as Deadpool: Samurai, Spider-Man: Fake Red, Wolverine: Snikt, Spider-Man: Octo-Girl, Marvel’s Secret Reverse, among others. Now, Viz Media is preparing to rework an older Marvel manga series that will surely excite fans of the recent X-Men ’97 in the upcoming release called “X-Men The Manga: Remastered“.

As a devoted fan, let me share with you that X-Men The Manga is an adaption from the 1992 animated series, which I’ve grown fond of. This masterpiece was brought to life by the skilled manga artist Hiroshi Higuchi and spanned across thirteen captivating volumes before concluding its run. Excitingly, a remastered version is on its way and will make its debut among Western fans this coming November.

X-Men Return To The Manga World

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia when I think about the X-Men’s foray into the anime realm back in the early 2000s, a collaboration between Marvel and Studio Madhouse that brought these iconic characters to life in their own series. While there’s no definitive news yet about a new X-Men manga series on the horizon, I remain hopeful given the ongoing partnership between Marvel and Viz Media. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll see our favorite mutants grace the pages of a new manga!

As a lifelong Marvel fan who grew up reading and re-reading the X-Men comics, I am beyond excited to announce that “X-Men: The Manga – Remastered, Vol. 1” is finally coming out on November 12, 2024! I remember waiting in line at the comic book store every week just to get my hands on the latest issue of X-Men, and now I can’t wait to dive into this new remastered version. Pre-order now and make sure you don’t miss out on this exciting journey through the world of mutants!
