The Marvel Mangaverse is a series of comic books published by Marvel Comics from 2000 to 2002, with a sequel, New Mangaverse, released in 2006.[1]
The series is set in an alternate universe to the Marvel universe, where its characters are drawn and portrayed in a manga-like style. Four volumes were published, with Volumes 1 and 2 being connected by a story arc featuring multiple Marvel characters and Volumes 3 and 4 having stories focusing on Spider-Man and an alternate version of Jean Grey, respectively.
Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 has given the numerical designation of Marvel Mangaverse as Earth-2301. Most of the artwork for Volume 1 was shared between different artists, each of whom contributed to one issue, with book-ends by Ben Dunn, who also did the artwork for Volume 2. The artwork for the five issue miniseries New Mangaverse: The Rings of Fate was done by Tom Hanks.
