Hah, it reads right to left. Plus the word balloons are more manga style than western comic style.

And yes, they sometimes do publish western style comics in Japan, with left to right reading and long word balloons. For example:

I wanna say that Unico was actually done originally with a left to right reading style, so yeah it can be common in some cases.

Oh great after seeing Attack on Titan and Marvel crossing over, I wonder how long until fans of the video game, Titanfall will end up demanding to make their crossover to come true, I mean I'm seeing a lot of fanart of Attack on Titanfall.









Oh great, I can see how attack on Titan and Titanfall can make a one hell of a crossover. if the Marvel/Attack on Titan crossover worked then EA and Respawn may try to cash in on this.

I get it this is for fun but come on. The main line avengers cast they will use would easily stomp the titans for the most part. Minus ones like spiderman and captain America. Titans aren't really a major humanity menace if taken out of their setting.

Hahahahaha that's a good one. Would love to see a Titan try to eat a guy who can destroy the eastern seaboard with a few footsteps or a god who on a good day can knock around the primordial forces of the universe.

If they are using the movie team which it looks like from the picture only Hulk and Thor would be fine.

Haha, this is great!
And, impossible it may sounds but Disney isn't trying to get AoT in their hands, right....?

I gotta say, this could be an issue for the story. The whole thing with AoT is that humanity is fighting back with only swords and the manuver gear-thingies (with the exception of spoiler[transforming into titans]. The powers of your average American superhero are gonna blow away a titan like it's nothing.

CoreSignal said "The powers of your average American superhero are going to blow away a titan like it's nothing." I've seen the "Attack on Titan" anime. The thought of the Marvel superheroes pounding those ugly freaks into the ground makes me smile. I also hope DC Comics gets on the bandwagon,too so their superheroes can get in on some good old Titan bashing. Smile I think this is going to be a fun one. And hopefully,they'll translate this into Japanese for the Japanese readers.
Well,the reason Disney decided to this,I don't know. It could be that they may try to do their own version of "AoT." I don't know. But it wouldn't surprise me if they did.
