Viz Media Takes on 'Terra Formars'

Viz Media will license and manage a range of consumer products based on the series, the first of which will be released later this year.

"Terra Formars" follows humanity’s second manned mission to the Red Planet (the first failed). The explorers arrive to find that the cockroaches used to transform the planet have mutated into giant, aggressive humanoids with one overriding goal–exterminate humans.

“'Terra Formars' is a gripping series, well-suited for product development for the substantial North American market, and its strong characters and hyper-detailed artwork have captivated a substantial and growing fan base,” says Daisuke Aoki, vice president, licensing, VIiz Media. “We look forward to working with leading manufacturing partners to develop 'Terra Formars' for the consumer product space and give fans of the series a range of unique and high-quality products.”
