072516 Issue Review 1Another week, another amazing One Piece cover! Eiichiro Oda Sensei is manga's James Brown. He's truly a drawing machine. The hardest-working artist in the business. And he got me good on this cover. When I first saw it, I thought..."Don Quixote's back?!" But then I realized there were characters I didn't recognize. And then it dawned on me that it was Zolo, up front and center, wearing a feather boa and holding his hands out like the recently deposed Warlord! Now I'm super curious to know what the One Piece movie is all about!

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

Let me start this off by squealing like a small child... KYAHHHH! That color spread at the start is just breathtaking. Now, going back to the story, what a devious and conniving old man Sanji has! No wonder he ran away as a kid. But it's looking like he's got nowhere to run now that his family's found him again and wants to hand him off to the Big Mom Pirates...

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

There's just something about Genos. A certain Genos sais quoi if you will... BLRF! Sorry 'bout that one, but I loved JB's pun so much, I had to use it here. And it's appropriate too, considering how Genos is just mowing down the baddies. But it has to take a toll at some point, because the waves of Monster Association bad guys just keep coming and coming!
