Will this count as a manga because it'll still be a Marvel project.

The only American comic book heroes CLAMP should be doing are the Wonder Twins.

Yes, because it's japanese women doing it. I am VERY interested to see what they are doing..... |

I'd say it would be a manga, if it's created by a japanese team, even if it uses a Marvel character, like what was done with Batman

I wont be calling it manga. It's commisioned work in my eyes. It's a Japanese group doing work based on American characters for an American company, intended for American readers. For that same reason I don't consider Kia Asamiya's Batman work manga either.

Well, that's the nail in my "I'm a fan of CLAMP" coffin.
I love Marvel Comics, don't get me wrong (I've been a fan of X-Men for frickin' ever!) but CLAMP has other things they need to be working on. (Like, X for example? 2 years, still no new X) Now they're just continuing their decline from interesting titles to generic been there done that crap. They've sold out and obviously only care for the money now-adays. |

My interest in CLAMP stems from my love of the art and anime and manga, and from an artistic point of view, I think some of their new stuff is phoenominal!! xxxHOLIC is bringing back the style they used in Magic Knight Rayearth. Any way you dish is, CLAMP continually produces visually appealling (and in my case... engrossing) work. Any story that they bring to it is just icing on the cake. |

Manga is a pure folk art which is lovingly hand-crafted by serious artisans who devote themselves to their craft for only the purest of motives. I say unless it is written, drawn, printed, stapled, boxed up, driven to the comic book store and rung up at the register by japanese people, it ain't manga. I think I speak for dozens of honky fanboys who don't have enough to worry about.

I find it funny that nobody can seem to spell C.B. Cebulski's name correctly. The ANN report spelled it "Celbuski" while the original AoD report went with the altogether more incorrect "CB Beluski."

It woulde depend on the person's definition. Personally, the publisher doens't affect the definition at all. There are three things that affect the definition: 1) The creators, 2) The intended Audience and 3) the content itself. More importanly:
Building on Aaron's wonderfully acerbic comment... Unless a definition is necessarry, forget about defining it. There's no need for you to waste time trying to lable it in such black and white terms as "Manga" / "Not Manga." |

To me, it depends on the style. People can't choose what country they where born in or what their nationality is. I read the rising stars of manga book, and I considered many of them manga. |

This is an... interesting development to say... I'm not sure whether I will like this or not, but for now let's suspend judgement.
As for whether it's manga or not, I fortunately don't care. For me that's like asking if Megatokyo is manga or not... (well, ok, that's not a good example, but you guys know what I'm talking about). |

Meh. Every time one of the Big Two tries to get a celebrity writer to play in their sandbox, it fails to involve me in any way. Child of Dreams and 1602 were neither good nor bad, just dull, and I expect this project to be the same. And it certainly doesn't help that I'm a fan of neither Marvel nor CLAMP.

This is unexpected. I don't view this as being as negative as some people. If nothing else it will be interesting to see what the final product will look like. And I'm not going to judge it until actually see it. Which character do you think they will use?
