Ahhhhh I definitely was hoping for more in terms of the plot development in this one. I've been hearing so much about Peach MoMoKo's work on this one. I adored the art and it definitely brought a manga feel to Marvel comics, but the story wasn't that great to me. There were definitely nods to Marvel characters but set against a Japanese backdrop. I was fascinated by the idea of this, but the execution made for an ordinary story. It wasn't necessarily anything that blew me away. If I was just thinking about the cross cultural aspects of this book I would have rated it higher, but unfortunately there were a lot of other components to consider. As I stated before, the artwork was phenomenal. I really adored the fact that the art reminded me of manga that I've read, but it needed more in the development of the story.

First of all art is 5/5 stars for sure.
So the problem is obviously with the story, I think it's way too childish, I think it would be perfect for children, the art is inspirational no matter the age, the fight scenes weren't even graphic, so yeah perfect for children.
And this will cause an issue with X-Men fans reading this issue, X-Men isn't for children, it's one of the most intense comics with real world metaphors.
I recognized Psylocke, Hulk, Venom, Logan, Jubilee.
Jubilee being there gives me a hint that we are building this story around logan, and then what clenched that idea is Mariko appearing in the end, and Logan looking over at the city, maybe we are looking at a love story between a girl and a wolf next issue.
Mariko and wolverine's love story is one of the most memorable in comics for me.

The author melds her native Japanese folklore and storytelling with Western superheroes, bridged by her fantastic art.
There isn't anything groundbreaking happening with this story, Japanese myths and folklore has already been presented for a Western comic audience, and sublimely, by Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo saga. The main draw here has always been MoMoKo's art, and the transition of moving from alternate covers that move a thousand more copies than usual, to headlining and creating interiors in her own inimitable style. The verdict is clear, the story is as good as her covers.
In the Goodreads scale of rating enjoyment, this ranks 5 stars for me. The story is decent and the art is stellar. It actually hit several spots for me, I read superhero comics before diving heavily into manga recently, and I got a lot of the references to the folklore and the comics, making me enjoy the story on several layers than I would usually get if this was a straight out X-Men book.

I was on the fence about this one and then I saw that Artgerm variant and I was like, ok I’m in. The book had some cool artwork but the story was kind of basic. They blended some Marvel lore with an old school Japan setting. A traveler helps a small village with some issues they are dealing with. Overall, just ok.

This is what you get if X-Men married Studio Ghibli and had a child and I like it!! 😃
So this is basically a super cute fanart comic in a feudal Japan AU with existing Marvel characters reimagined, right? Except we're gonna get an entire series of this, yay.
Let me get them straight:
Tsuki - Dani Moonstar?
Sai - Psylocke
Logan - duh.
Orochi - Venom
Oni - Hulk
Juju / Jushi - Jubilee
Looking forward to more of this. The artwork is a peach (pun intended).

The art was pretty good but the story was nothing special

Lascia perplessi che dopo mezzo anno, invece di un proseguio della storia, un #2, tutto ciò che otteniamo sia una Creator's Cut del numero già letto.
Le stesse pagine, prive della fase di inchiostrazione, e a seguire alcuni sketch, delle prove e dei lavori preliminari, messi in maniera molto carina.

Delizioso.
Non è una versione manga degli X-Men, ma... come dire... più il primo tassello di una Marvel in stile Miyazaki.
Siamo in una sorta di favola ambientata nel passato giapponese, come nei film del maestro.
Gli umani convivono con gli yukai e gli oni, finché l'avidità umana non li porta allo scontro.
Si, sotto certi aspetti ricorda un poco, per esempio, La principessa Mononoke. Non per niente dicevo delle atmosfera alla Miyazaki.
E in questa ambeintazione da favola giapponese ecco venire calati personaggi ricalcati su personaggi Marvel.
Psylocke è una spadaccina che gira per le campagne da sole, accompagnata dal suo enorme cane (e quando lo chiama per nome sono morto! Senza contare la perla della sua situzione finale!) e finisce nel villaggio della bambina protagonista, desiderosa di affrontare l'oni che saccheggia le scorte di cibo dei suo abitanti. Armata del suo arco. Una splendida piccola Dani Moonstar.
Al villaggio troviamo anche la streghetta che in cambio di cibo e di comodità tiene alla larga i demoni con trappole pirotecniche: ciao Jubes!
E che dire dei demoni?
Il buon yukai Hulkdomo costretto ad affrontare gli umani per trovare cibo (per sé e per il figlio, che immagino sia un personaggio della serie di Hulk ma che non conosco), e il demone malvagio Orochi-Venom.
Senza contare il gran finale, con il salto al tempo presente e una piccola Mariko accudita da una governante che sembra pericolosamente la Vedova Nera, mentre un certo personaggio aspetta là fuori... e chi potrebbe essere se non lui, dato che questa Mariko probabilmente sarà Mariko Yashida?
Davvero carino!

Holy...... I did not think I was going to care for this all that much after reading the preview but so far this has been the best book of this week in my eyes. I love how Peach Momoko weaves in Japanese lore and history seamlessly with Marvel characters like venom and the red hulk. What a fun ride, I am definitely pulling every Demon Days issue after this!

Fables, x-men, and Usagi Yojimbo mashup. Nice and simple story, and also a nice issue to physically own and just flip through the pages and enjoy the art.

Disappointed this is only a 5 issue mini

I really did just grab this for the variant cover. I didn't think I would like the comic when I took a quick glance through the pages, but this surprised me. The artwork was good and it matched up perfectly with the story. An ass-kicking female and her cool dog? Sounds good.

As someone who enjoys learning about mythology from many different cultures, it was very enjoyable to see classic Marvel characters reinterpreted in a setting that is both very Japanese, but also welcoming to the newcomer. The art is expressive, dynamic, but also subdued. Overall, it was a delight to read this book, and I am excited to see more.

I'm probably one and done with this series. This has as much to do with the oversaturation of X titles coming out as it did with how much I enjoyed this issue. With so many titles, I really need to pick and choose which ones I'll commit to. So when something comes out that's only "pretty good", I'm reluctant to stick with it.
I liked the artwork for the most part. There were a few panels that were a little confusing but overall I thought it meshed well with the story.
The reader is given the entire premise and basic storyline on the first page. Then a bunch of further details on the last couple pages after the story has ended. For me, the actual telling of the story in between didn't do much to enhance the information that was provided. The most intriguing and best developed character is the villager girl, Tsuki. Her scenes are great examples of Momoko's visual storytelling skills. Sai/Psylocke fell completely flat for me though and her psychic blade I've seen referenced outside the actual book has zero presence other than being a regular sword. I thought the progression of the Hulk/Oni character was well done. So I didn't hate it, didn't love it.

I don't have much to add to other reviews. Loved the artwork and expected more from the story. I liked the reimagining of Marvel characters with feudal Japan. Hulkmaru and Logan made me smile. I'd hoped to see everyone's powers on display as more organic and less through ritual or basic battling techniques. Any fan of manga or anime (especially Inu Yasha) has seen this story play out in better and more exciting ways. I appreciate the reviewers who break down who the characters are. I am an X-Men fan, but don't regularly read Marvel comics.

I loved this. I've always had a fascination of Japanese history and lore (what nerd hasn't, at some point, I suppose) and this was a fun weave of familiar names into that mysticism. The art is of course beautiful. I very much liked the twist at the end. It's not an X-Men book the way anybody thinks of the X-Men, but it's whimsical and fun.
March 9, 2021
Well, this was just delightful!
Unless you've been living under a rock you'll already be aware of Peach Momoko, as her variant covers have set the comic world alight over the last year or so. I'll admit, I have a fair few Momoko variants in my collection already. She recently signed an exclusive deal with Marvel, and one of the results of that would seem to be her very own book in Demon Days: X-Men (and apparently Demon Days is a series, as we got the cover to the next issue, Demon Days: Mariko, at the end of this one...but we have to wait until June for it!).
So, we know Momoko can draw, but can she write? Well, yes, she can. Demon Days: X-Men #1 skilfully weaves together Japanese myth and fable with X-Men, casting the likes of Psylocke, Jubilee, the Hulk, Venom and Wolverine in new roles...with Psylocke as a mysterious warrior nomad, Sai, who stumbles across a village with is being dominated by an evil serpent spirit known as Venom.
The story is charming and fun and I'm honestly looking forward to reading more and seeing where Momoko's going with this.
I'd heartily recommend it, not just to X-men fans but to fans of beautiful comics...because this book is stunning!

Best story of the mini series. Psylocke (in almost any incarnation) is my one of my favourite X-men. Having her back in her ninja roots is great. I love the Japanese mythology twist on the characters and artwork. Finding a village at war on two fronts who's side will she take?
December 30, 2022
I've been collecting the single issues of this series since this first one came out, all on the basis of if being done by Peach Momoko. I haven't been able to get to them until now and it's extremely validating to know I was right: I love everything about this series already.

Tan pronto me enteré que esto llegaba a México, me hice con una copia, el arte es de lo más bello y quisiera ver hacia dónde va esta historia, personalmente me encantó!
April 12, 2021
Interesting. I'm not sure what to make of it but I enjoyed the story and the little Marvel nods. So I'll give the next one a shot. Yeah MoMoko does beautiful work!

Letteralmente divorato!
La storia è pazzesca, i disegni stupendi che reinterpretano alcuni personaggi Marvel in chiave folkloristica giapponese.
Non vedo l'ora di continuare.

I don't care if I'm not sure how it really shows the X-Men, the art is so amazing it stands on its own.
March 10, 2021
Oh my god this is phenomenal!!!! This is literal perfection!! I've grown to really love Peach's art and it isn't a disappointment in this! The story feels like the telling of a genuinely classic tale and the fact pages in the back giving the real life information on some used in the book? A brilliant touch! I physically can't wait for the next book!

This new world of marvel by peach momoko is very unique. I loved the art here. Wished for more action but really interesting world building with yokai and such. I love the designs for Wolverine and the hulk and that black widow tease was cool overall
March 10, 2021
Thoroughly enjoyed this comic. Really liked the authors spin on original marvel characters. Artwork was great! Will be continuing this series.

A concept I frankly cannot believe is this new. Peach Momoko’s graphic novel reinvents several ‘Marvel Comics’ characters in the likes of a folklore-ish “Japanese tale”, including the visual part of those interpretations. Told from the perspective of a brand-new version of Mariko (who in the regular Marvel Universe used to be Wolverine’s lover/wife), here, she is depicted by Momoko as a little girl, who likes to come up with fictional stories, about old Japanese legends regarding the Oni, demons, Yokai, samurai and kami, etc. As expected, these are different interpretations of the meta-human, and the mutants from the normal ‘616 Universe’, but suddenly, Mariko understands, after a game changing revelation, that she is, as a matter of fact, the lost daughter of a Oni, named Miyuki, and her “grandmother” turned out to be a Jushi who found her at Mount Kirisaki, a place well known for being the origin of the Yokai, people with special abilities, mostly considered “monsters”, pretty much the reinvented version of the ‘Homo Superior’. After realizing her maid was, in fact, a spy sent by the Yokai to capture, and deliver her to Ogin- the leader of the Yokai-, Mariko leaves on a quest to find about her past, alongside a wild dog named “Logan”, looking for answers as to who she really was, and who’s this Ogin who is desperate to “consume her”.
The story was initially introduced in the epilogue of ‘King in Black’ issue 4, in a short story introducing this Japanese-folklore version of Psylocke, and in this compilation that’s what Momoko decides to deliver in the first place; Psylocke and her giant dog, Logan, are travelers hunting demons, Yokai, and other creatures’ people have trouble with. She’s called for help once the “Big Serpent”, Orochi, consumes several people in a village. More of a “monster hunter” approach to her character, turns out, this first issue is merely an introduction to Mariko’s character, basically getting rid of the notion of Psylocke (or Sai, as she introduces herself to the character of Tsuki) to turn her into Mariko’s fictional character. In a way I felt a little disappointed with this turn of events since the main cover of this compilation made me think Psylocke was going to be the protagonist of whatever this story was. As for the character of Mariko, it was interesting the more the story progressed, specially once we’re revealed her backstory as a missing Oni, and being abandoned by her mother, having a sister she wasn’t aware of, all these elements were great, and made a compelling and investing “revenge” story that is not moving in the conventional ways these types of stories often do. On the one hand, I loved the addition of folklore, and ‘Marvel Comics’ gallery of characters combined; Hulk, Mystique, Sabertooth, Wolverine, Spider-Woman, Venom, Black Widow, even the take on both, Thor, and Storm, as this story’s versions of “kami” was a nice touch from Momoko’s passion for Japanese mythology, and it fit under the worldbuilding of this modified universe. On the other, I felt there was a substantial lack of potential exploited in regards of these characters. I do understand their addition to the story, but it often came as random, while other characters could’ve had the opportunity of appearing in this and being a more natural addition to this story, like ‘The Hand’ for example, or even ‘Silver Samurai’, which would’ve made more sense to having him as an antagonist, since he is directly related to the character of Mariko in the regular ‘616-universe’. This is what I was referring too while mentioning the switching of Psylocke for Mariko as the main character; with Psylocke, I felt there was a heavier and more engaging opportunity of exploring further elements of the Marvel Universe in this world, such as the entire collection of ‘X-Men’, even other Marvel characters foreign to what typically is related to her. The whole concept sold me, and it was a nice introduction, to have her and her dog being samurai travelers, looking for crime-solving, or getting rid of monsters. Now, I’m not criticizing Mariko’s main story in this because it was well-done, overall, even with some pacing issues, but I liked that story fine, and I also have to admit Mariko turned out an interestingly constructed character the more the story progresses. But Psylocke as a samurai seemed more attractive to me in terms of storytelling-comic book adventure. For some reason I thought this’ll be some kind of “anthology” series, focusing on different leads, reinterpreting several of the classic tales of Japan using different versions of the ‘Marvel’ characters, so rather than disappointing, it felt wasted, although thankfully a continuation has been confirmed by Momoko, so hopefully she’ll expand on this universe. All in all, this was a good reading, and a pleasant surprise that, while not what it initially seemed, it feels fresh, and engaging enough to support a well-thought, and distinctive story that felt more reminiscent of a “Manga” than an actual comic. Its best element must be Momoko’s art, which is terrific, a mix between cute cartoons, typical Japanese culture, and certain callbacks to manga styles in the action and violent departments. A true blast of colors, designs, and great adaptations of classic Japanese folklore with all the characters we all know and love from classic comic books. I was able to read this because my wife lend it to me after checking it out herself, and I had a good time with it.For anyone out there looking for a different approach from ‘Marvel Comics’, this is an ideal read, and a promising title from a promising rising star, and unique artist.

Really love this take on the Marvel universe!
March 23, 2021
I'm a sucker for alternate takes on existing super heroes, so I was immediately drawn to Demon Days. It helps that it's such a visually stunning book and a bit on the spooky side. Peach MoMoKo takes the archetypes of classic Marvel characters like Psylocke, Wolverine, and Venom and puts them through this fascinating lens for a wholly new version. Some are easy to spot, like the big red Hulk-like Oni, while others are more subtle, like Tsuki, who is an interpretation of a popular mutant. All of them maintain their core essence while standing as unique characters separate from their 616 counterparts.

From the beginning I was attracted to many of the covers available for Demon Days: X-Men #1 but was trying not to get into another series. Finally I broke down and ordered the gorgeous Kael Ngu Exclusive Variant which I was not going to read. You know how that goes. I ended up carefully reading it and was pretty disappointed in the story - a traveling swordwoman helps a village that is having a problem with demons. Okay that sounds like it could get interesting but it doesn't. The interesting part is the bit of history at the end. And the gorgeous cover I have.
