Gamereactors spanska redaktion var på plats under San Diego Comic-Con Málaga. David Caballero, chefredaktör för Gamereactor Spanien, fick där chansen att intervjua Peach Momoko - en japansk serieskapare känd för sina omslagsillustrationer, men numera även som författare till Ultimate X-Men. Hon har vunnit två Eisner Awards, vilket gett henne friheten att skapa precis som hon vill. Hon sade:
"It's just great to be able to draw whatever I want to do for covers now, it's just the greatest feeling."
Hon vill arbeta med det hon själv kallar traditionell konst och är inte särskilt förtjust i digitalt skapande. I hennes verk möts akvarell, manga och Marvel - en kombination som väcker olika känslor hos olika människor:
"I'm not really good at doing digital, I don't understand the digital processes too well, so I just use watercolor and anything traditional, and want to focus purely on as pure as traditional as possible forever, and with the ukiyo-e soft touch watercolor, I actually don't really think consciously to do something beautiful, or something soft or ukiyo-e style, so whenever someone tells me how they see my cover, it kind of shines a light to me that, oh, that's what I'm doing, that's interesting, so it's kind of funny to add to that, when I show my art to the western fans, the Americans, Europeans, anyone, they see my art style has this anime, this manga touch, but interesting is when I show it to the Japanese fans, they actually don't see that, they see more like a realistic or something different that's not anime or manga, so I feel that my style is a very unique blend, that kind of translates differently to who sees it."
