Marvel unveils three original WEBTOON series at SDCC, including Tony Stark romance and X-Men Korea
Marvel is bringing brand-new stories exclusively to WEBTOON with the first wave of Marvel Originals, a lineup of comics created specifically for the platform’s vertical-scroll format.
Announced during Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the initiative launches with three original series from an impressive roster of comic book and WEBTOON creators. Each title debuts exclusively on WEBTOON with stories and characters crafted for the digital reading experience.
The first series, Tony’s Girl, is written by CRC Payne with art by StarBite. The romance follows a 17-year-old Tony Stark after graduating from MIT. Expecting a summer at Stark Industries, Tony instead finds himself enrolled in etiquette classes after Howard Stark grows frustrated with his son’s public image. There he meets Meredith McCall, the daughter of one of Howard’s biggest business rivals. What begins as mutual dislike slowly develops into a relationship neither family would ever approve of.
Next is That Time Deadpool Fell Into WEBTOON…and Found The Longest Title of All Time!!!, written by Ucheomaaa with art by Annie Huang. The series throws the Merc with a Mouth into the chaotic WEBTOON universe, where he bounces between genres that include regency romance, superhuman tournaments, post-apocalyptic landscapes, and stylish Korean high school drama as he searches for a way home.
Rounding out the announcement is X-Men Korea, created by Studio LICO. The story centers on Yeong-seo Go, an ordinary Korean high school student whose mutant powers suddenly awaken. After enrolling at Hoseok Academy for the Gifted, he becomes entangled in a conspiracy involving a powerful corporation that could change the future of humanity.
The new initiative builds on Marvel and WEBTOON’s growing partnership, which has already brought more than 20 Marvel comics to WEBTOON’s vertical-scroll format through the platform’s Disney section. Now, readers will have exclusive original series designed from the ground up for the format.
