CLAMP to create manga for Marvel.

Has anyone here heard about this? http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/5140.html
I think this decision is weird and really random for both CLAMP and Marvel. When you think of CLAMP, you think of series like Cardcaptor Sakura, Magic Knight Rayearth, Chobits, etc. And when you think of Marvel, you think of series like X-men, Spider-man, Daredevil etc. A series like Magic Knight Rayearth doesn't really have the same feeling that something like Spider-man does and vice versa, so it just feels out of character to me. I'll probably wind up reading it anyway, just because it's CLAMP, but there's one thing I'm wondering about and that's if CLAMP is writing both the story and drawing the artwork or will they just be drawing the artwork?

I don't see how CLAMP and Marvel seem weird together. Magic Knight Rayearth is very similar to many Marvel comics, as is Clover, and even X. Me personally, I'd have to hear more before I got excited. I like CLAMP, but they're not my favourites, so *shrug*

I have heard about it, I wouldn't mind reading some of it to see what the plot is about.

I have never bought Marvel comics in my life. I'm not into American or Canadian cartoons, with the few exceptions such as Snoopy and kawaii series like that. But that's once in a blue moon. I love CLAMP and I'm into shojo anime/manga. It does seem weird combining the two together. If I like the story, I might buy it, but I dunno.

*is a Marvel brat*

I wonder if they will be tapping some Marvel characters/stories or if they are going to do something completely original. I read the site's article, but It really didn't say much as to plot.

I'm wondering about and that's if CLAMP is writing both the story and drawing the artwork or will they just be drawing the artwork?

I imagine that Marvel will write the story and come up with the rough sketches of characters then let CLAMP make their own interpritations of the designs. If CLAMP comes up with everything, then it's a CLAMP creation and Marvel has major room in the credits.

I'm a DC Comics kind of guy myself, though I have read some Marvel Comics on occasion. I'd like to see Naoko Takeuchi-sama draw something for DC Comics as Kia Asamiya did with "Batman: Child of Dreams". (That book ROCKED!!!!!!)
