Mangaka Rumiko Takahashi has a storied career in the industry, from classics like Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, and Ranma ½ to more modern hits like Inuyasha and RIN-NE. The 2018 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards went down at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 this weekend, and the festivities included Takahashi being formally inducted into the Hall of Fame. 

 

Fourth time was definitely the charm for Takahashi, who was nominated this year as well as 2014, 2016, and 2017. Creative professionals throughout the publishing, editing, retail, and other related comics industries came together to vote online for Hall of Fame induction. 

 

Prior to Rumiko Takahashi, previous Japanese Hall of Fame inductees included:

 

2002 - Osamu Tezuka

2004 - Kazuo Koike

2004 - Goseki Kojima 

2012 - Katsuhiro Otomo

Armored Trooper Votoms will be available to HIDIVE subscribers in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland and other select territories.

 

Synopsis: 

The series revolves around Chirico Cuvie, a battle-worn soldier who accidentally becomes involved in a mission to steal military secrets from allied forces. However, during the mission, he discovers that the real reason behind the assignment is a beautiful woman locked inside a container. Barely escaping alive and running from his own army, he’ll have to fight to unravel the truth behind the betrayal, the mysterious woman, and the conspirators who will do anything to silence him.

The latest issue of Shonen Jump is bringing together shonen heroes in a big way: through the pens of their creators!

 

Current manga creators were asked to draw their heroes side-by-side with their own favorite Shonen Jump stars, and the prompt has led to some awesome team-ups. One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda drew Luffy and Goku buddied up, while Kohei Horikoshi of My Hero Academia fame shows Deku and Naruto practicing their jutsu.

 

 

The new issue is loaded with even more tribute art. Manga creators sketched their own takes on the JUMP "pirate mark":

 

Haruichi Furudate (Haikyu!!):

Hideaki Sorachi (Gintama):

Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia):

And there are colored cards from a number of their contributors:

 

 

 

The issue will also include a retrospective on the magazine's many covers.

 

The new commemorative issue hits newsstands July 14.
