2009 San Diego Comic-Con – Hiroyuki Takei and Takanori Asada
Hiroyuki Takei cracks a joke as he talks about Ultimo at Friday's Shonen Jump panel at Comic-Con.
The creator of Spiderman joined forces with the creator of Shaman King and the result is Karakuridoji Ultimo, the latest addition to the Shonen Jump magazine line-up. At their joint appearance at Friday morning's Shonen Jump panel, Takei and Lee reflected on what their cross-cultural comics collaboration might mean for other creators.
"There is a lot that we can learn from the Japanese style of storytelling, and there is a thing or two they can learn from us," said Lee.
"I hope we can do it together without ruining both of them!" he laughed.
