April 2026 Late Issues

All the things are late but eh.

I got a copy of the 48th printing of the first volume of One Piece that was printed in 2025. And I forgot to include the Echoes of the Empire variant by Gist in the main photo. And of course I finally got the variants of the Superman/ Spider-Man special from a month or two ago.

I still want to buy a box set of the manga, but I wanted to have this volume just because it was the most recent printing. It’s just crazy that it’s on its 48th printing.

Here is the main cover and all the variants that I liked. There are a bunch of other variants too.

The main cover is by Jiménez. The next is a Jim Lee cover (also by Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair). Then Mike Janín. Next of course is an Artgerm cover. Then a wraparound Koblish and Hi-Fi variant. Next was a fantastic Nakayama variant. And the next one with Superboy Prime on it was by Daniel Sampere and Tomeu Morey. Then the punk variant by Jeff Spokes. A blank variant of course. The penultimate one is by Jiménez and Morey. And the final one is by David Talaski. I love all these covers!

Such a dynamic cover! Especially that back cover!

It’s such a simple design. It works so well.

Such a classic-looking design.
