Chapter 8-Hot news all over the U.S.

There are cartoonists and readers, and naturally there are cartoon critics.

Edward is a well-known comics critic. He reads a large number of comics every day and makes comments.

Just like the superhero dark stream a few days ago, his mouth and hands were sprayed to a close.

As a professional critic, the subject of superheroes is very familiar to him. He can guess what routines and templates are at a glance. Nowadays, ordinary comics have made him much lazy to look at them, and only very innovative comics will pay attention to it.

Now he is wandering around in different major bookstores. Looking at the comic magazines that enter the bookstores. This is the first-hand information, and even the bookstore manager who feels good after reading it will be in a conspicuous position

It's a pity that even visiting the two bookstores didn't have any novel comics that attracted his attention.

To tell everyone the truth, Edward would rather just go to the official serialised comic's of "Captain America", which was still being updated. It was like a god among copycats.

Shaking his head, Edward was about to leave to get back home, but as he passed the entrance he saw an acquaintance of his who helps run the bookstore.

The bookstore manger immediately greeted him- "Hello there Edward."

"Yo, what do you need? Oh wait have you got another good comic for me?"-Edward walked back in and spoke with a little trace of insight.

He knew that the store manager had similar taste in stories as him, and he had found many great comics that were recommended to him by the store manager.

The manager was simply a god-tier teammate who could dig out money from sand.

"Yeah, This is a new one from that company that went through a re-birth. I heard that the company is now controlled by young people."

"Hua, so strong."-Edward was surprised for a moment. The ability to change a company name and figurer head is not a simple process, which means that if it fails...Who ever came up with it would be pulled out of their promotion, and deeply impact their credibility by a large scale.

The book store manager smiled and praised- "Yeah, I know right. But his cartoon is very good."

At the same time, he pointed his finger at the cover of the comic book.

Edward read the words on the cover and noticed that it is very exquisite, and the painting skills alone is beyond the level of some famous painters in the United States.

About the cover art of where a character is drawn is the words written in red colouring, 'One Punch Man.'

'What kind of super hero is this?'-Thinking this, Edward was slowly conquered by the comic, and unknowably, he ended up reading the whole book at the corner of the door at the bookstore.

"It's so cool."-Edward praised from the bottom of his heart.

The store manager said unceremoniously: "Yes, now please pay quickly."

Edward snapped back to his senses, and paid for the comic and walked back home while the story of the one punch man flashed in his mind the whole walk back to his home.

'The more that I think about it, the more I feel that this comic should be the biggest dark horse of the year, and I truly think that as the strongest comic it deserves that title.

What made his scalp numb was that the setting of the story overturns the definition of a traditional hero that the world has as a concept. It was completely overthrowing the concept of reality that was set by Captain America. Holding his taste tightly, Edward can't help but admire the author.

Looking back at the front page title. The author's name surprised him, Lucien.

Is this an Oriental name, or just a Pen name? Or is it the authors real name?

Edward, who was used to seeing the common tropes in comics and watching it's fall, cannot be 100% sure whether this comic might collapse in the future.

But just the three words in the title made him feel that out of all the comics made in the past are just bedtime story, and that there will definitely be bigger plot surprise waiting for him soon.

Thinking of this, he rushed into his house with excitement and turned on his computer, opening Twitter, and quickly tapped away on his keyboard.

All of the fans that followed Edwards account received a message that caught their eyes.

[Solemnly recommend "One Punch Man", the latest serialised comic from 'Shonen Jump', a comic that shapes a new hero concept and breaks through the stagnant market. Let's revel, Hero fans! If you think it doesn't look good, I'll eat trash]

His fans were stunned once they saw it. Edward, who was famous for being a bitter critic has actually recommended a comic for the first time, and even bet eating trash on it.

Some netizens that were passing by were all excited, even if they wanted to watch celebrities, they still had to read this comic.

Immediately afterwards, a series of messages rolled onto the screen.

"Hey? Didn't Edward say that he was desperate for a new superhero comic a few days ago?"

"This one is different. I only just read it from a classmate anyway!"

It can't be said, it's definitely an original and classic masterpiece."

"Yes, this painter is going to heaven. The subject matter is really scary."

"No way, How do I feel like you are in the navy?"

"Hehe, You'll know after you read it."

"Finally there is a manga that I can highly recommend. I'm going downstairs to buy it now and see how you guys play it."

"I brought it early. Why is there only one issue with such a high number of fans? It's not enough to read at all!!"

Indeed, as a comic book, it is really rare to only have serialised one work. Fortunately, the price is low, otherwise it would be really irritable.

["How strong is the underworld king? Saitama is in trouble now, so I look forward to the next issue."]

For a while, Edward tweeted with a frenzy on the discussion about 'One punch man' and it directly helped rise the popularity beyond the already tall climb it was already.

Whether it was an accidental read of "Shonen Jump" or due to being fans on twitter who were recommended to the manga, they all posted their own comments on Edward's Twitter, completely treating it as a forum page for 'One punch man.'

In the process of it's rising popularity, new fans continue to come in and join as they wanted to learn of the charm that others held about the comic while recommending it to others.

People who hadn't read it yet were all rushing into their local bookstore or newsstand to start buying it causing a panic frenzy.

Just in this one afternoon, a long line of people lined up outside many bookstores and newsstands over the world, all just to buy "Shonen Jump."

Obviously, it is impossible for a bookstore to know of it popularity ahead of time so they could purchase a lot of the goods. After they become sold out store owners even looked depressed, They were still a lot of people waiting who couldn't end up buying it.

Store owners shouted in their hearts: 'God dam it, I'm losing so much money, Why is this comic suddenly so hot!'

You would think that many of the staff at the bookshops would have kept a copy for themselves, and see what kind of magic is causing people to become so crazed about the comic.

This was the case in many bookstores across the United States. The One Punch Man's comics have swept the country by storm.

It was like a shock bomb dropped into a calm lake, the waves were surging to unimaginable height.
