Peach Momoko is one of Marvel's hottest creators thanks to her hit comic Ultimate X-Men, which just revealed a connection to Momoko's Demon Days (which also ties into Marvel Rivals). Now, in the same spirit of Demon Days, in which Momoko created her own version of the Marvel Universe based around Japanese mythology, the writer/artist has created 19 variant covers featuring Marvel heroes in their own custom kimono that reflect their classic costumes.

"When I drew the Marvel heroes wearing kimono, I wanted people to simply enjoy seeing the heroes wearing kimono as a fashion item," Momoko says in a statement. "I didn't want to stick to just a traditional formal image, so I tried to bring out the individuality of a super hero wearing the kimono as a very casual look. The overall design is simple, but I hope you could feel the wabi-sabi in each cover."
