One Piece chapter 1076 review
Find a video version of this review on YouTube here. Our colour pages this week feel like a return to familiar territory. After a long run of both colour spreads and Jump covers being taken up by Film Red promos or Gear Five, we finally get some current-arc outfits on the cover and a more…

One Piece chapter 1075 review
Find a video version of this review on YouTube here. I can’t say I saw this one coming at all. I’ve been setting myself up for a siege arc, first trying to defend the beaches from Borsalino’s fleet, the struggling to hold the lab as the Pacifista and Seraphim are turned by Saturn. Instead, all…

One Piece chapter 1074 review
Find a video version of this review on YouTube here. Okay, we’re back, and despite the hype of a long-awaited Vivi appearance, this feels like a slow, transitional chapter with a lot of plot threads and mysteries building, but very little in the way of real answers. It’s good seeing Sentomaru has a little more…

One Piece chapter 1073 review
Egghead definitely seems to be heating up, but the direction of the arc remains hard to parse with the state of advantage between the Strawhats/Vegapunks and Cipher Pol swinging like a pendulum from chapter to chapter. Will there be an escape sequence? Will we stand and fight against Borsalino’s fleet? Will Cipher Pol slip their…

One Piece chapter 1072 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. The synergy between the cover story and the main chapter is something I’m really enjoying lately. There’s a great contrast between the scientists working to mass-produce weapons of slaughter on the cover and Vegapunk’s commentary calling it the “lab for peace” on the next…

One Piece chapter 1071 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. While the colour spread is nice-looking artistically (the red and white is a great palette) I can’t be alone in feeling a tad Uta’d out. Three of the last five colour pages have featured her or Film Red, not even thinking of Jump covers.…

One Piece chapter 1070 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This chapter was a pretty good note to end the year on, but I’m gonna keep this brief because I’m pretty wiped from a weekend of Christmas events. Mads are looking cool on the cover. Something about Vegapunk trying to be tough with that…

One Piece chapter 1069 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oh wow, Luffy and Lucci back in the ring after 16 years, how far we’ve come. The year’s shaping up to end on a really high note with this one. Even the cover story’s worthy of note this time. I love seeing unexpected connections…

One Piece chapter 1068 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Egghead Island is escalating surprisingly fast this week, but I’m happy to see Oda doubling down on Vegapunk leaving with the crew. That should give him the chance to spread out the exposition over the course of this last saga instead of doing it…

One Piece chapter 1067 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We’re pumping the brakes a little here, compared to the last couple of chapters, but that’s okay. We’re in a new volume, one way or another, so things will need to start building up again. It’s a short chapter too, going into the break,…
