Marvel Tokon’s Spider-Man Story Drawn by My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Artist
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, an upcoming fighting game, will feature five single-player Episodes, each illustrated by a different artist. A beta test revealed that Spider-Man's story, titled "Amazing Guardians," is drawn by Japanese illustrator Betten Court, best known for his work on the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes spin-off manga. His distinctive style is reportedly visible throughout the animated panels, particularly in character facial expressions such as Ms. Marvel's.
This marks Court's second Marvel project, having previously illustrated the Spider-Man: Octo-Girl manga alongside writer Hideyuki Furuhashi. All of Marvel Tokon's single-player stories are written by comic writer Kieron Gillen, with each episode assigned its own artist to keep the visuals varied throughout the campaign. While the mode is described as lighter in scope than rivals such as Street Fighter 6's World Tour, the artwork and voice acting are expected to help it remain engaging.

Explained simply
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is an upcoming fighting game that will include single-player story campaigns. Unlike many games in the genre, each of these episodes will be illustrated by a different artist to create varied visuals throughout the campaign.
Betten Court is a Japanese illustrator best known for his work on My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, a spin-off manga series. He has been assigned to draw the Spider-Man story episode called "Amazing Guardians", bringing his distinctive style to character expressions and details. This is his second project working with Marvel, having previously illustrated a Spider-Man manga series.
The single-player episodes are all written by comic writer Kieron Gillen, but by pairing each story with a different artist, the game aims to keep the visual experience fresh. Whilst the single-player mode is positioned as lighter in scope than some rival fighting games, the artwork and voice acting are intended to maintain player engagement.
