Marvel Mangaverse #1 will reportedly "expand Dunn's vision for the entire Marvel Universe", beginning with Captain Marvel.
Here's how Marvel solicited the issue:
In this 32-page issue you'll meet Marvin Elwood, timid teenager... and possible savior of Earth! Heir to alien Kree technology and the awesome Nega Bands, Marvin must face his legacy - as Captain Marvel! But can even this cosmic crusader save the world from the gigantic threat of Galactus? And can even Megascale Metatalent Response Team Fantastic Four turn the tide?
Marvel Mangaverse #1 is due to arrive on shelves on April 3.
