SMASH! BAM! BOOM! Now here's an action-packed cover! It looks like he's punching through the screen and is gonna fly right out! Nice motion blur on the art too, giving it that cinematic flair that the series is famous for. I truly believe Yusuke Murata is a genius and one of the best comic artists that have ever lived. That may sound like a bold claim, but if you've read the manga, I think you'll agree. 

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata

The martial arts tournament heats up as Saitama faces his toughest opponent yet—Bakuzan! This macho martial artist is a favorite to win and has the crowd firmly on his side. He also has a big mouth and a penchant for describing exactly how he plans to take his opponent down. But his opponent is secretly Saitama. Will his big mouth write checks his butt can't cash? I'm not a banker, but I think I know the answer!
