#IReadsYou Review: ONE PIECE Volume 36
ONE PIECE, VOL. 36
VIZ MEDIA
CARTOONIST: Eiichiro Oda
TRANSLATION: Taylor Engel, HC Language Solutions Inc.
ENGLISH ADAPTATION: Jake Forbes
LETTERS: John Hunt
ISBN: 978-1-4215-3452-7; paperback (March 2010); Rated “T” for Teen
216pp, B&W, $9.99 US, $12.99 CAN, £6.99 UK
One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 1997. VIZ Media has been publishing an English-language edition of the manga as a paperback graphic novel series, beginning in September 2003, under its “Shonen Jump” imprint.
One Piece focuses on Monkey D. Luffy. The enchanted “Devil Fruit” gave Luffy the ability to stretch like rubber, but it also took away his ability to swim, which hasn’t deterred Luffy from his dream. One day he will become the King of the Pirates. Now, Luffy and his very own pirate crew, known as the “Straw Hats,” sail the oceans on their ship, the Merry Go, searching for the legendary treasure known as “One Piece.”
As One Piece, Vol. 36 (Chapters 337 to 346; entitled “The Ninth Justice”) begins, the Straw Hats find themselves in trouble in The City of Water, Water Seven. They’d gone to the island in hopes of getting the Galley-La, the famed shipwrights of Water Seven, to fix the Merry Go. They were told that the ship was beyond repair, so Luffy decided to get a new ship, which caused a riff between him and shipmate, Usopp.
Now, the mayor of The City of Water, Iceberg, has been shot, and the Straw Hats have been blamed. It doesn’t help that the newest Straw Hat, Nico Robin, is involved in the assassination plot. Is this true, and how is she connected to the mysterious CP9?
THE LOWDOWN: High adventure, action comedy, and supernaturally imaginative storytelling are what One Piece usually offers. One Piece Graphic Novel Volume 36 switches to riveting suspense. It’s a thriller that is on par with The Bourne Ultimatum – if that film were an action comedy. And there is a hook ending that will drag you back for the next volume.
POSSIBLE AUDIENCE: Readers looking for imaginative adventure yarn-spinning will find it in the “Shonen Jump” title, One Piece.

The Scumbag is a new comic book series from writer Rick Remender. Described as a “comedy espionage series” by publisher Image Comics, The Scumbag's tagline reads, “The fate of the world rests in the hands of the worst person on it!” The series features a rotating crew of illustrators. Thus, artist Andrew Robinson; colorist Moreno Dinisio; and letterer Rus Wooton complete the current creative team.
The Scumbag introduces Ernie Ray Clementine. He is a rundown, raggedy, filthy man. He is a profane, illiterate, drug-addicted biker and ne'er-do-well with a fifth-grade education. But thanks to a power-imbuing serum called “the Formula Maxima,” Ernie will be the only thing standing between humanity and total Armageddon... because he has suddenly become the world's most powerful super-spy.
The Scumbag #2 opens in “Simon's” dive bar, where Ernie Ray is regaling people with his recent supernatural adventures, which he, of course, thinks are drug hallucinations. Then, Sister Mary of “Central Authority” shows up and starts barking orders … and offering things that Ernie Ray likes. Meanwhile, Scorpoinus and “The Prosoma” make their golden move, which leads to a … monsters of rock misunderstand.
THE LOWDOWN: I didn't have a lot to say about The Scumbag #1. I have more to say about The Scumbag #2. I like this issue's art team of illustrator Andrew Robinson and colorist Moreno Dinisio, which delivers some pretty art and some fast-moving storytelling. Rus Wooton's lively letters continue to capture the right vibe for each particular issue – this time, action-comedy.
As I said before, I have enjoyed what few Rick Remender comic books I have read, and I found myself enjoying The Scumbag #1. I really wanted to be cynical about the first issue, but I had to admit that I liked it. I like The Scumbag #2 even more. After introducing the concept, Remender continues the introductions, but while reading the second issue, I got the feeling of a writer freed up to do a little more action. This issue is a wild ride, and I kinda wish that Sister Mary was the star of this series. The pace of this issue seems more suited for her to be the star.
I don't know about The Scumbag comic book being “the next Deadpool,” as some have speculated. However, it has the potential to offer a brief respite from the traumas of the world with some regularly delivered salacious fun, and it has already started to do so.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Rick Remender, of mature comedy, and of reprobate-type anti-hero lead characters will want The Scumbag.

#IReadsYou Review: ONE PIECE Volume 35
ONE PIECE, VOL. 35
VIZ MEDIA
CARTOONIST: Eiichiro Oda
TRANSLATION: JN Productions
ENGLISH ADAPTATION: Megan Bates
LETTERS: Elena Diaz
ISBN: 978-1-4215-3451-0; paperback (March 2010); Rated “T” for Teen
192pp, B&W, $9.99 US, $12.99 CAN, £6.99 UK
One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 1997. VIZ Media has been publishing an English-language edition of the manga as a paperback graphic novel series, beginning in September 2003, under its “Shonen Jump” imprint.
One Piece focuses on Monkey D. Luffy, who wants to become the King of the Pirates. The enchanted “Devil Fruit” gave him the ability to stretch like rubber, but it also took away his ability to swim. Not deterred from his dream, Luffy set out to sea and gradually enlisted his very own pirate crew, known as the “Straw Hats.” They sail the oceans on their ship, the Merry Go, searching for the legendary treasure known as “One Piece.”
One Piece, Vol. 35 (Chapters 328 to 336; entitled “Captain”) finds the Straw Hats in The City of Water on the island of Water Seven. They are going to use the gold they found during their Skypeia adventure to repair the Merry Go.
The gold nets them 300 million berries, but all that money earns them the attention of the Franky Family, a band of ship dismantlers and part-time bounty hunters. Meanwhile, the newest Straw Hat, Nico Robin, goes missing, and Luffy makes a shocking announcement that puts him at odds with shipmate, Usopp.
THE LOWDOWN: At less than 190 pages of narrative, One Piece Volume 35 reads like a graphic novel twice its size. Featuring visually potent art, this volume of One Piece has intrigue, superhero-like fights, an assassination attempt, a shocking announcement, and a fight between brothers. The weirdo characters and outlandish settings are in abundance, and there’s the ever-present cliffhanger that will make you return for another volume of pirate goodness.
POSSIBLE AUDIENCE: Readers looking for top “Shonen Jump” titles will want One Piece.
A-
