BASTARD!! #8: FIGHTER!!, PART 3 of 3 — Unable to defeat Dark Schneider with her magic, the magician-swordswoman Kai Harn lets loose the dreaded cockatrice, whose touch can turn flesh to stone! But the clueless personality of Lucien Renlen reasserts itself just when Dark Schneider least needs it, leaving him lost in the dark woods in a cape and robes several sizes too big for him. Each issue also includes contests, DRAGON BALL, PART 5 #2 — The Strongest-Under-The-Heavens martial arts finals commence! First, "Turtle Hermit" disciple Yamcha fights "Crane Hermit" disciple Tenshinhan, a cruel three-eyed master of kung fu! Then, Jackie Chun fights the Wolfman! But why does a werewolf (and 30th-dan black belt) have it out for the last tournament's winner?
DRAGON BALL Z, PART 5 #7 — Goku's fight with Freeza continues…On the ground and in the air, Goku and Freeza battle mightily, tearing up the landscape with nuclear-strength punches. But as Freeza says, he's just warming up. In fact, as he tells Goku after they fight to a standstill, he's fighting at
less than 50% of his full power! Author and artist, Akira Toriyama, originally planned this to be the climax to the series, and it shows with the most intense DBZ battle scenes yet!
INU-YASHA, PART 6 #15 — While everyone else has disappeared into their different worlds of various illusions, Kagome is the only one left when she is confronted by Kikyo, who takes her piece of the Jewel of Four Souls. Then, it's a wake up call for Inu-Yasha who snaps out of his hallucinated state…but whose aid will he come to?
MEDABOTS, PART 2, #3 & #4 — In Issue #3, Dr. Aki, the father of the Medabots, is about to announce the creation of a brand new Medabot but the Rubber Robo gang are up to something and so is the mysterious Phantom Renegade. Could they be working together? In Issue #4, Ikki and Metabee vs.
Koji and Sumilidon! Will they finally settle all grudges and find out who is the better Medafighter? Will Koji ever stop being so ridiculously protective of Karin?
POKéMON ADVENTURES, PART 7 #4: LANCE'S CHARGE — Lance is the greatest Pokémon trainer of the Elite Four, and the only thing standing between him and his insane dream of exterminating humanity is Yellow, a Doduo, a Raticate, an Omanite, a Graveler, a Caterpie and a Pikachu. Six unevolved Pokémon against the fiercest power in the world! Can anyone help Yellow?
RANMA 1/2, PART 11 #5 — Akane witnesses something she'd rather not between girl-type Ranma and Ryoga. Will Ryoga be able to pull himself out of hot water with Akane over this big misunderstanding? What a mess! The pseudo love triangle continues from one of the most outrageous manga series ever!
SILENT MÖBIUS: BLOOD, PART 11 #1 — With Lum Cheng settling in to the A.M.P. and Yuki recovered from her injuries, the A.M.P. is back in full force. Rally Cheyenne is making preparations for what could be the A.M.P.'s final battle against Nemesis. Meanwhile, Ganossa is making preparations of his own—readying a force of 199 megadynes and attempting to reactivate the cyclotron from the Gaia Project.
THE BIG O, PART 2 #1 — Even with a massive hole punched in its chest, Dorothy Two, Dorothy's giant "sister" robot, still functions—and the criminal Beck is behind the controls! Violently wresting control from Dorothy's creator Timothy Wayneright, who designed the android in the image of his lost daughter, he fuses Dorothy to the mainframe of Dorothy Two, taunting Roger Smith to destroy one if he wants to destroy the other!
VAGABOND #9 — In the Aftermath of his battle with the Yoshioka school, Musashi's old friend and spiritual guide Takuan nurses Musashi back to health. Although Musashi is preoccupied with perfecting his swordsmanship, Otsu is increasingly beginning to occupy his mind. Will Musashi choose to be
reunited with Otsu or will he continue his solitary journey towards enlightenment by way of the sword?
