Despite the similarities, comics and manga/anime seem to rarely overlap. The two have highly distinct styles and characters, each with their own followings. Marvel wants to change that. The company has already released an Iron Man anime and a Wolverine series should be coming out soon. Iron Man's series looked to have some slick animation, even though Wolverine's made me go into a berzerker rage. Logan is a short, angry little furball of a man who enjoys drinking and stabbing. The preview I saw showed him as a delicate, creepy, angrogynous...something.
We now have two new superhero animes on the horizon. It's no surprise that the X-Men are one of them. Those guys are Marvel royalty, and we also have a Blade series coming. Despite a lack of comic book success, Blade seems to have solid success in other mediums. The first two movies were highly stylish, and if you've seen the Hellsing series you'll know that vampires can fit quite well in anime. Sooner or later, these might be worth checking out, if only for something new and different.
