Demon Days: Rising Storm #1
Recap
The beauty of Peach Momoko's art style will be missed as her comic is slowly coming to an end. Yet, as these comics have become a bridge between the manga and comic world, we cherished them. The wonder of the world that she has created is being known throughout both communities that are slowly gathering for Demon Days run. And as we see that a new chapter has begun with her adaption of the X-Men.
Review
Rising Storm brings together none other than Ororo (Storm) in her childlike form, and none other than Sosuke (Thor), each one getting a new design to match the beauty of Japanese art that has flourished these pages. We slowly see that Mariko’s past is being pieced together, and in this comic, we finally see what she has been searching for. While her amnesia has been a mystery and why this story has combed together different people to try to find her and eliminate her. While she tries to search for the answers to her past, and once she comes face to face with Ororo and Sosuke they come to “help” her in a sense.
Don’t worry, if you think we’ve forgotten about Good Boi, Logan, we sure did not. He is still with Mariko and helping her along the way. We have been keeping an eye on him ever since he first appeared in the first Demon Days came out. He keeps a close eye on Mariko, even when she seems to be having a small breakdown. Such a loyal companion to the stranger that he seems to be wanting to follow along in her adventure. However, we can see that this story is coming to an end with each turn of the page, each one makes it harder to continue. While we are still hoping for even more Demon Days, but we can see that only two more will be coming out as the conclusion is slowly building up.
Final Thoughts
Demon Days has become part of Marvel's amazing universe and we can see it expanding and flourishing in the industry. Peach Momoko has given us a beautiful comic series, and the bridge between manga and comic fans is slowly realizing that maybe, just maybe, we are not all so different. Peach Momoko's next installment of Demon Days: Blood Feud comes out in March 2022!
