Demon Days by Peach Momoko Reading Order (2021-2023)

Hit writer-artist Peach Momoko takes the Marvel universe and twists it into mythological Japan, taking beloved characters like the X-Men and Hulk and turning them into samurai, oni, and Shinto gods to tell a concise tale about a young girl named Mariko as she learns about her troubled and fantastical past.

This reading order covers the five Demon Days and four Demon Wars one-shots. General knowledge of Marvel characters makes this series cooler, but it stands on its own.
