Tough guy cover! Luffy is one of those rare characters that can look super tough and super happy at the same time. It's not easy to do! I also like this cover because it looks like he's breaking the screen. Those are expensive to replace! If you're going to Comic-Con, you can get this as a poster on Preview night and Saturday. All you have to do is sign up for the Weekly Shonen Jump newsletter. Easy!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal
original concept by Kazuki Takahashi, story by Shin Yoshida, art by Naohito Miyoshi

It's the final chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal!!! I've been a big fan of this manga ever since it came out. The art is rock solid and some of the cleanest in the magazine. And the monsters look great! A lot of cool panel layouts, as well. On top of that, it's super wacky! Captain Corn! Dr. Faker! The hilarious robot that's secretly in love with its master! There were just enough funny things kept the story intriguing. And the main character says "I'm gonna jet!" which is a hilarious tagline. I'll miss reading about Yuma and friends, but all manga come to an end and this one ended well.
