Hiroyuki Takei And Stan Lee Presents Ultimo
April 19th, 2008 by Neil | 5 comments
Viz Media has announced a joint venture with comics legend Stan Lee. Along with one of Japan's biggest artists, Hiroyuki Takei, Stan has created his first magna title. This new title, featuring the hero known as Ultimo, was just published today in Japan.
The Editor-in-Chief of Viz Media's Shonen Jump magna magazine, Mark Weidenbaum, lead the press conference today at the NYCC. On the panel were Ultimo's creators, Stan Lee and Hiroyuki Takei, along with a translator.
One obsticle to the crafting of this comic book was the fact that Stan does not speak Japanese and Hiroyuki does not speak English. Stan sent his story idea to Hiroyuki who re-worked it to fit into Japanese story telling style and then sent it back to Stan who made further changes. This back and forth continued several times until Ultimo was ready to be unveiled to the world. This title then represents an amalgamation of American and Japanese styles, hopefully representing the best of both and offering great appeal to all audiences. Hiroyuki explained the principle difference being that Ultimo has a more narrative style than traditional magna, a medium he has risen far in.
