On the cover page of Chapter 170 titled "End of Hypnosis 2: The Galvanizer," we see Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu, & Rukia wearing martial artists attire and striking poses. I thought it was pretty cool to see Rukia wielding what looks like a Kamehameha in her hands. Ichigo's kicking forward while wielding what appears to be a sword, Orihime striking a fighting pose, Uryu wielding a Sai (Raphael from TMNT much), and that sums up the cover page. Personally it's these cover pages that somewhat get me interested if it has any sort of relevance to the story? Unfortunately, they do not and are there to showcase the author's artistic abilities. Seeing our characters outside of the story and just striking poses ~ it's a work of art. Cover Pages are artwork to me and it's refreshing to see Tite Kubo & many artists take this approach. It mixes things up a bit, ya know what I'm saying? There's a couple of Bleach Art books out there and I guarantee you this is one of those covers you'll definitely see. I personally like this cover and, like I said above, it's cool to see Rukia looking so badass. Well, there all badass artists in their own right.
I hope you enjoyed this week's Throwback. Look forward to Throwback posts on Fridays. Until then, stay tuned for next week's installment of the Attack of Covers (Throwbacks #76-86).
WBCR & SGABR #3 will be up soon.
*There was a slight error indicating that it was Affinities #76-86 when in actuality, it's Throwbacks #76-86. Sorry for the confusions ladies & gentlemen.
