214 - One Piece, Vol. 1: Romance Dawn + Earth X #1

It's manga time! Until now, we've only covered manga adaptations of video games, but we're jumping into our first long-form manga with the wildly popular One Piece by Eichiro Oda.  We read the first volume to figure out just who this straw hat kid is and why this book has spawned a whole media empire. Then we get into the meat of Earth X with issue #1, in which we try to determine if Spider-Man is a cop now. Next Time: Harrow County, Vol. 2: Twice Told
