Volume 7
Release Date: 17th May 2018
Author: Hirohiko Araki
Publisher: Viz

The Stardust Crusaders journey through Egypt to locate and defeat (or ora) the evil vampire Dio continues in tome number seven. It’s certainly one long trek for everyone involved, reader included, but when this adventure jumps from punch ’em ups to poker at the flick of a page, who could want a one way ticket to the big bad? Good.

Finally stepping foot on Egyptian soil, the Stardust Crusaders are half way through their journey, and one step closer to tracking down the nefarious Dio! The trip to Egypt has been fraught with danger, our heroes taking on Stand Users with truly bizarre powers, from killer skin growths to murderous dreams, each time named after one of the mystical tarot cards.

Only Dio’s ‘The World’ is left when it comes to those naming conventions however, and so, it’s time to welcome a new slew of villains, each with powers named after the Egyptian Gods. Feel the heat with that naming escalation!

The first volume of Stardust Crusaders introduced us to the concept of Stands, spiritual powers which can do more than the Ripples of the past, our heroes, from Clint Eastwood inspired Jotaro to the fire loving tarot card reader Avdol, and the overall objective of reaching Dio in Egypt to save Holly, and the world whilst they are at it. With all the pieces in place, we can now enjoy what the series is really all about, Stands, glorious Stands.  Continue reading

Last time most of the write up for Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Part 2 – Battle Tendency Volume 2 ended up trying to explain just what Jojo is all about. That isn’t an easy task, something I quickly found out, and it only gets stranger with each volume release. If you like battle manga with pop culture references, strategy, body horror, and fabulous character designs, Jojo is for you. I guess that’s all it took in the end. Continue reading

It’s taken over thirty years for Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure to see a true release in the UK. The third part ‘Stardust Crusaders’ took the trip over, but that was all. Maybe it seemed like too much of a large undertaking for publisher Viz to bother with, seeing as the series now has over 100 volumes worth of fighting, or maybe Jojo was simply just too bizarre? (though we did get Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo) Whatever the reason was, it no longer matters. Thanks to a recent resurgence in the franchise, largely thanks to the anime series, we’re getting more Jojo than ever before!  Continue reading
