On May 30th, Japan is getting a six-issue collection of Dan Slott's run on The Amazing Spider-Man comic, specifically the "Spider-Verse" story in which the familiar Peter Parker teams up with other versions of the characters. Leading Japanese marketing is its inclusion of the version of the character from Toei's live-action tokusatsu show, complete with the Leopardon giant robot. Also of note, Yusuke Murata, artist on the One-Punch Man manga remake, will be illustrating the collection's cover.

Versus the American cover

Murata's earlier illustration of the character was previously featured on the cover of Marvel's release of the Spider-Island mini-series

And Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows

Plus his tribute illustration

Speaking of One-Punch Man, make sure you check out the title page of the web version's chapter 94

Also, Murata has been playing with fountain pens...
