Peach Momoko's next comic will be coming out in September called Demon Days: Cursed Web #1 and once you see the cover you will be over the MOON over who is on it. Read Full Review

Reviewing a comic that is different from what you are used to has proven to be difficult. I have spent days re-reading parts of the book or looking at panels in the book. I have had to digest this one on a different level. But that digestion has certainly been a pleasurable experience. It was kind of like eating a meal from a different culture. Pleasurable, but you take the extra time to digest and savor it. I feel the same way with Demon Days Mariko. It was such a pleasurable book! I would highly recommend it. Read Full Review

It's rather exciting to see comics like this come from Marvel Comics. Demon Days: Mariko by no means conventional, strays completely from the title characters used, as it's more of a thought-provoking dream of a tale. Simply put, Demon Days is a work of art to be contemplated. Read Full Review

"The only way to deal with bullies is to hit them first."
- KUROKI

So much better than the last Demon Days comic. Such a simple idea and it remains that way throughout. It's a compelling, mystifying take on a Marvel character who was always tied to Wolverine. But here, there's something alluring about Mariko, not just in her heritage but a duality that compromises her humanity and something that was long locked away.

Her relationship with Kuroki (Black Widow) is absolutely endearing. We as the audience know she's a spy, but we also know that Black Widow's wants and needs keep her from going over the edge. Since the beginning, there is a tragedy just waiting to happen, but for who leaves readers in suspense.

I swear when I saw the cover thought it was just another shoddy comic to try and sell to China. I was wrong, it is a very well designed comic, with a compelling story.

Love the twists and turns Mariko is doing with the Marvel mythology, it feels new, it's my favorite type of adaptations.

The contemporary story kicks off with young Mariko learning momentous secrets about her heritage and discovering she has a nemesis. It's a simple story, but a very strong one; it's mythical in a wholly-positive way. I felt the art was even better than the previous issue, with smoother panel-to-panel flow. Demon Days is a great AU treat.

It's quite good all around!

The artwork is phenomenal and this issue introduces a lot of interesting concepts with the promise of a continuing plot despite being relegated to a series of one-shots.

Tortuous story very much like Japanese horror manga with a North American touch that makes it quite pleasant.

This was alright. It's cute, and not in a condescending way, but like actually pretty cute. I like the art and the story is fun enough. I like the infusion of Japanese mythology in the Marvel universe. It's a unique take, and this is what the terribly-named Marvel Tsunami line should've been back in the day. I just don't have much investment in this story. It's something I would look at for the art, rather than read for the story.

I prefer a manga from the East than an imitation, it doesn't have what is required.
