Book Review: One-Punch Man Vols. 7 & 8 by One et al.

One-Punch Man Volume 7 story by One and art by Yusuke Murata

The battle with the alien invaders ends in classic style with a punch-up between Saitama and the head of the aliens, Boros. The fight is ridiculously over the top and ends as one expects. The destruction of City A leads to a new future for the Hero Association, rebuilding their headquarters and developing faster ways to respond to emergencies in other cities.

Recommended--I enjoyed reading this a lot--nothing deep, just a lot of fun. 

One-Punch Man Volume 8 story by One and art by Yusuke Murata

Saitama and Genos have a run-in with King, an S-Class hero who is called the strongest hero. A lizard-like villain is harassing the populous but he gets scared when he sees King. As that bit of comedy is resolved, a much larger and imposing Artificial Intelligence villain shows up. The A.I. wants to kill King and use the battle for research on improving his programming. King says he has to go to the bathroom or his powers are diminished, leaving Saitama and Genos to handle the robotic bad guy.

This story sets up a contrast for Saitama and expands the universe a little bit. I liked the comedy and there's some fun bonus stories thrown in, including a classic "save the cat" mission for Saitama.

Recommended.
