The Marvel Universe just got a little more crowded.
This week, fans in China got their first look at two brand new comics -- the first from Marvel led by Chinese superheroes.
Aero draws on Marvel’s recent trend of placing female characters in the spotlight. Set in City S, an “international financial center in the East”, it follows the story of Lei Ling -- an architect with superpowers that allow her to manipulate air currents. Another character named Nu Wo, who hasn’t appeared yet, can control rocks and concrete.
The other comic, Warriors of the Three Emperors, contains references to traditional Chinese mythologies. 18-year-old Lin Lie is the last descendant of the legendary hero Fuxi. Yielding a magic sword found in an ancient grave, he goes on an adventure with two other blue-blooded friends.
