For the second year in a row, I'm able to kick things off with a classic manga from Shotaro Ishinomori, and it might be the best one yet.
KAMEN RIDER (Kamen Raida), by Shotaro Ishinomori. First published in 1971 and first published in North America in 2022.
PLOT:
Hongo Takeshi was a young man with just as much talent for science as he had for motorcycling. His life is forever changed when he is captured by a mysterious organization known as Shocker, who seek to transform him into an animal-human hybrid cyborg as part of their plot to dominate all of humanity. Hongo escapes before the transformation is complete, but he swears to use his super-strong body, strange new powers, and souped-up motorcycle to stop Shocker from conquering all of Japan.
