Marvel Comics and WEBTOON announced three original webcomic series created exclusively for the WEBTOON platform during Marvel's Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday. The slate includes Tony's Girl, That Time Deadpool Fell Into WEBTOON...and Found The Longest Title of All Time!!!, and X-Men Korea, all designed for vertical-scroll reading.
The three series are built for WEBTOON's vertical-scroll format. Tony's Girl, written by CRC Payne with art by StarBite, reimagines a 17-year-old Tony Stark in a romance with Meredith McCall, the daughter of his father's business rival. That Time Deadpool Fell Into WEBTOON...and Found The Longest Title of All Time!!!, written by Ucheomaaa and illustrated by Annie Huang, follows Deadpool as he is transported into the WEBTOON universe and encounters worlds inspired by popular webcomic genres. X-Men Korea, developed by Studio LICO, centers on Korean high school student Yeong-seo Go, who awakens as a mutant and enrolls at Hoseok Academy for the Gifted, uncovering a conspiracy involving a megacorporation.
Marvel said the three titles are the first wave of all-new original Marvel stories created exclusively for WEBTOON, with additional projects to be announced later.
