The one hundred and third comic: #703 One Piece
It's clear that One Piece is one of those successful anime and manga series that has connected with a lot of people and been quite popular. I quite enjoyed it too - the pirate setting is different, the power sets exaggerated, appropriately so for a comic like this, but with a good amount of variety in the powers that don't overwhelm or overpower what's possible. Eight volumes in, the joy and the wackiness held up, with some good characters that come through and some interesting settings.
The issue it ran into for me - and it's one that comes up frequently with these sorts of series - is that at a certain point, the storylines get longer. I guess it helps to capitalize on designs and not reveal your hand too early, but dealing with each villain takes ages, the plots become repetitive and the fight scenes can't sustain the action for that long. By volume eight it has worn me out and I started to wish it would move faster, to the point where I didn't notice skipping half a volume as the temporary betrayal for a good reason seemed obvious enough. Something abridged would have worked well, but this requires you to be in for a bit too much of a long haul.
