it's a shame, because as one of the members of the obviously superior Comicwise-Omnivorous Group (obviously), I can say that most superhero comic fans would love the poo poo out of One Punch Man if they weren't filling their diapers about where the book was written

One Punch Man easily transcends any bias you might have. It owns and is a lot better than most fighty comics books from any country. Quality is quality

Youd need an artist who knows how to do farical comedies, theres not a lot of action in hitmen

Let's be fair. Pink Dark Boy was never officially released in English, so it's still a bit niche most places.

Man page 48 is INSANE.

Is anyone else starting to think that the Murata manga is never going to get back in line with the ONE version and this arc is going to follow a completely different track? Garou is already a completely different character after all.

Runa
Feb 13, 2011

I think the basic idea behind Garou was always there but in the original ONE version his character arc was rushed, but still wound up having a strong payoff. In the Murata version we see a lot more from his perspective and while he's still a huge jerk, he also comes off as much more sympathetic rather than just being some immature fight prodigy raging at the world. Because of the difference in perspective the resolution of the arc might differ in tone but I can see how this version leads to a similar place.

Also the end of the Garou arc in the ONE version has some strong moments and I would be disappointed if the Murata version resolved differently.

Im seeing the elements of where its going based on whats happening right now and the payoff on Murata's version is going to be a whole lot better even if the execution ends up being exactly the same. Specially if the end execution is exactly the same.

Yeah. They've been diverging for a while (beyond the manga simply having more content) but the past couple chapters have made it pretty clear that they're fully different stories.

I guess now that 100MP is over, ONE is taking this time to expand on the OPM story since he probably wasn't giving it his full attention previously.

Well yeah. The monster King wasn't in the ONE version at all, for one so things are naturally gonna be a bit different comparatively.

I didn't really like Orochi's design, it felt a little too busy, almost like an action figure with no articulation or something, but seeing him in action really delivers on the promise. He's covered in mouths, and he's gonna use all of 'em.

She was a lady talking to Orochi and telling he was going mad.


That's all the info the Murata version gives thus far.

No I mean got confused by what was going on. Was it a flashback or something cause the Orochi shown there looks different from the one Garou is fighting.

I adore how easily Murata and ONE manage to manipulate scale. He can makes Orochi look 1000 ft tall in one instance, and then make Orochi look like barely bigger than a human when Garou is giving is a speech. He really knows just how to use perspective tricks, character comparisons, and panel framing to adjust a monster's emotional size without going off model. Like these two pages for comparison.
