Product Description: Mass panic has struck the streets of Tokyo! The media has initiated round-the-clock coverage. Uncontrollable crowds are choking the streets, and kaiju hysteria has gripped the island of Japan for the first time in 50 years! Because the Fantastic Four, the world's first super-hero big-monster battling squad, and playboy industrialist Tony Stark have descended on the Land of the Rising Sun! Zeb Wells (New Warriors, Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One) and Seth Fisher (Green Lantern: Willworld, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight) bring you a manic fusion of Marvel super heroes with Japanese pop culture that proves why the FF and Iron Man are big in Japan! It's an all-out romp with big monsters a-go-go as Droom, Giganto and Eerok, the giant ape - along with hundreds of manic '50s Marvel monsters - trample Tokyo's first-ever Kaiju Museum and Celebration! Collects Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big In Japan #1-4; Spider-Man Unlimited #8.
Fun Romp in the Far East This collection is a fun (if fleeting) romp through Japan starring the Fantastic Four and Iron Man. The art, by the late Seth Fisher (of "Green Lantern: Willworld" fame), is odd and mesmerizing and never short of amazing. Big monster battles ensue! Collects Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big In Japan #1-4.
Also included in this TPB is novelist Joe Hill's comics debut from Spider-Man Unlimited #8. Joe Hill is Stephen King's second son, so the issue has been in demand by curious King fans. Since that issue goes for a pretty penny on the back issue market, it's a nice bonus thrown in by Marvel. It's not, however, related to the "Big in Japan" storyline nor quite as fun, so it's appearance here is somewhat of a mystery.
