Midoriya and Bakugo on the cover! I think this is our second My Hero Academia cover! I know what you're thinking, "Only two?!" Hopefully, there will be many more to come as this series has become a favorite around the office. And I am going to start lobbying for a Grand Torino cover! That guy rules! 

My Hero Academia

The superhero internships have started, and some of the kids are less than pleased with their placement. Meanwhile, Midoriya under the tutelage of the slightly eccentric Grand Torino, is still struggling on how to fully control his power. Time for more training!

In any case, find out what it is in this chapter! 

Food Wars

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

The big battle between Luffy and Doflimingo has reached its sensational climax! The Dressrosa arc has been one of my favorites and is overflowing with memorable characters that have worked their way into my heart. From the hilariously naive Tontattas to heartbreaking Toy Soldier to all the tough-guy colosseum gladiators, this arc has had quite the cast. And let's not forget that heartbreaker, Señor Pink! See how the final attack plays out! This is it, folks!

The flashback of Bazz-B and Haschwalth continues! If you're wondering how they became such great friends and then enemies, this chapter will clear some of that up!

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac
by Masami Kurumada

It's the last chapter in what has been a very enjoyable JUMP BACK for me and the SJ team. Judging from the fan feedback, lot of people missed this Shonen Jump classic and this is their first time reading it. Hopefully, this will encourage them to check out the rest of the series, because it's truly a wild ride. I finally read the whole thing last year and had a blast. Some of most incredible and bombastic art in any medium. In some ways, it reminded me of the King of Comics, Jack Kirby. Specifically the over-the-top crazy cosmic attacks. Let's hear it for Seiya and the many brave Knights of the Zodiac! 

Saint Seiya

Extras: Last chance for Frightfur Tiger promo card, Anime Expo plans, Nihongo Lesson, Author Comments.
