Nothing really to rave about on this book
It’s basically a collection of the novels written, but this is presented in color instead of the black-and-white of the graphic novel well more of manga, not graphic novel

This will be fun for more people who have seen the animation or I guess anyone who hasn’t seen the animation so they could picture what the author portrays them as in color

A Special Thanks Goes to NetGalley and Viz Media for the opportunity to review this title.

Normally, I would review either Manga (Usually in the Shonen Genre) or Comic Books. But today’s review is special. The newest review takes us on a visual journey with Luffy and the Straw Hats in the Art Book titled One Piece Color Walk Compendium: New World to Wano.
This Compendium collects Volumes 6,7, and 8, of the One Piece Color, Walk art books. It is packed with 300 pages filled with beautifully drawn illustrations. And it includes special interviews with Eiichiro Oda and other famous manga artists. It is certainly filled with wonder as the Straw Hats venture into a New World filled with beautiful, vibrant colors.

While we’re on the topic of artwork with beautiful vibrant colors, there are wonderful pencil sketches included in this compendium, which also included collaboration pieces. This volume follows Luffy’s departure from Amazon Lily, to their arrival in Wano.

In terms of publication, this book contains illustrations dating back to 2010, leading up to 2018. It is the perfect item to have for the One Piece fan in your life or for yourself. Each drawing helps fill the gaps for new or casual readers. One Piece Color Walk Compendium: New World to Wano is available now, where books are sold.

Eiichiro Oda's One Piece Color Walk Compendium: New World to Wano is a lovely art collection perfect for fans of the iconic series. This art book is packed full of full color art, interviews and bonus content perfect for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

One Piece Color Walk Compendium: New World to Wano. By Eiichiro Oda. 2022. Viz Media (ARC eBook).

This volume of compiled colored panels picks up as Luffy leaves the Island of Women to met up with the gang after the two year separation of the Straw Hat Pirates. Publication years are 2010-2018, or thereabouts. Comments by Oda are included, as well as pencil sketches, collaboration pieces, and interviews. It’s nice to see everyone in color, especially Robin, who I don’t recognized very well in black and white after her makeover. This sort of volume will be great for big One Piece fans who never miss a publication, but also, there are enough details of characters, locations and themes in these drawings to help fill in the gaps for the more casual readers, such as myself, who am just now coming back to the story after mostly leaving following adult Ace’s departure and his childhood story arc.

This is a great artbook for a (patently) great series, and I appreciated all of the splash pages and the timeline/scope of the book. Fans of One Piece will adore this new artbook!
