Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys, Vol. 1: Friends by Naoki Urasawa

Have you ever wondered what a Goonies 2 might be like? This manga from legendary manga author/artist Naoki Urasawa might be the closest thing we get to it. 20th Century Boys tells the story of Kenji, a 30-40 year old living a hum-drum life until mysterious elements from his past jolt him out of his pedestrian life. The mystery revolves around a new cult that uses a symbol that Kenji and his friends created when they were children. The cult is linked to a series of murders and kidnappings, and Kenji seems to be the link that can unravel it all. I LOVE this series! This is such a fun, nostalgic read about everyday people becoming everyday heroes. Check this one out now!
