HAMMER is one of Saturday AM's popular manga! Created by Jeyodin, the intense art is detailed, fun, effortless, and imaginative in ways that remind one of Eiichiro Oda.

PANELS THAT GO HARD:
HAMMER by @jeyodin.bsky.social

One of Saturday AM's fave #manga is about a mischievous boy named Stud on a quest to unlock the mystery of his father's strange travels to fantasy lands.

Fortunately, Stud hands can become HAMMERS!

TITAN KING is one of Saturday AM's fastest-selling manga of late. An action fantasy battle manga that merges Dragonball style pyrokinetics with diverse settings and characters -- it's not the world cup since its' planets vs nations and titans vs soccer balls but the fate of the universe rests on who wins.
