It's the magazine plus two little addons. There is a, minimanga book where the zoids chapter is. The magazine itself doesnt have the manga.
Already, read the first chapter and I got to see 3 new models. I will post pics in spoiler mode when I, get battery.

Looks like CoroCoro posted the comic for free which is nice! (If not equally annoying for those that specifically bought it, haha, but I'm more than glad everyone gets to view it.) It gives us our first look at Bacon's Zoid, the Fang Tiger~ I love new Zoids but his is certainly strangely proportioned, compared to the others. I look forward to seeing more of it, especially some nice color pictures to see what this cat really looks like. I find it greatly amusing that after all this time the Brachiosaurus is still (basically) Brachiosaurus, with altered spelling. We also see more than a couple new Zoids scrambling around in the background, but they could just as well be filler Zoids.

Since you have seen it , I can say that I spotted: -Saber tiger -Pentaceratops -ankylosaurus type

It looks like there also might be a pachycephalosaurus or something behind the ankies?

I also like how expressive the Liger's eyes are. Cool seeing more of the new dino Zoids too

The comic is the Greatest! I am so in love with it, the Ligers look so awesome but have the cuteness factor with the eyes and somehow facial expressions or even thought bubbles/ feeling indicators oh my god it is so perfect. I got the comic on the way too but I didn't mind reading it early at all, at least now we can freely discuss and share pictures of it etc.

Oh man, the manga is looking good. Is the tiger Zoid actually inside the house/ restaurant/ building on page 9? xD I'm getting some organoid vibes (seems they have personalities?) from these zoids which I think is a good thing. Hopefully it means the Zoids will get to be characters too instead of just the 'humans in giant mecha animals' we've gotten before. Anyways, posted this to reddit but figured I'd share it here, (I think it's new info?): Seems a Chinese seller jumped the gun and released prices and months for the new kits: *Wild Liger: June 2018 @ 3,000Y *Gil Raptor: June 2018 @ 3,000Y *Kabtor: June 2018 @ 1,200Y *Scorpear: June 2018 @ 1,200Y *Gannontoise: June 2018 @ 3,000Y *Gabrigator: June 2018 @ 3,000Y *Kuwaga: July 2018 @ 1,200Y *Grachiosaurus: July 2018 @ 6,800Y Source

The human art is goofy as all get-out (the tongue...), but I adore the zoid art. Just a shame they put the offset cut-in-half-for-print versions of the double-page spreads instead of the original images, those look really cool. I'm quite liking what I've seen of Fang Tiger's design, even with the odd hunched back. If the kit looks good it'll be a definite buy for me.
As an aside, the little pacycephalosaurus types look kind of like a nod to the Buster Head.

I did a piece together of the teaser version of one of the splits in the last Corocoro issue that you can see here. I'll try to do that for the others once I get the physical comic. And yeah, it looks like the Zoids will have a lot more personality this time around, which is something a lot of plans have wanted for a long time. Though I also wish we could get digital/original versions. Even if it was an extra purchase. I'd be glad to buy the clean digital files! Interesting about the prices. The Grachiosaurus is about what I'd expect. The others seem to have a very consistent, static pricing though. It'll be nice to be able to estimate when we see new kits.

Not a fan of the art style the manga is going with, except for the Zoid designs.
I can't imagine myself owning the Liger this time around. Even though I like the design, it's wild blast is stupid looking. And it makes me think of the protagonist (and I like nothing about that character at all).
The Saber Tiger, The various bugs, and the Gannon Tortoise are all I can get behind at the moment.

In Wild Liger's defense, if I was half the size of other ligers... I'd probably want to be a porcupine, too. Granted that's not relevant to this story. The official anime site has updated with a list of characters and their zoids (direct link for people that don't wanna deal with the flashy background.) Wish we could see the Fang Tiger in full color already, but oh well. The Gannontoise and Wild Liger look... bad, in this list. I imagine this'll be fixed in the broadcast version (well, I guess we already know it will be) but I'm surprised they used such a bleached out version for the list. It looks so awkward without the lines the other ones have. Gilraptor on the other hand is looking snazzy. I love this Zoid. I love its design. And it takes well to the anime style. Though, those forward-facing hook fangs in the back of his jaw are an oddity.

Really not a fan of the cartoony humans, the story seems a bit cheesy too. And is anyone else unnerved by the main character's Pikachu tail hair?

Almost opposite of Wild Liger, Gilraptor looks awesome here. I wasn't impressed by that design all that much during the initial announcment, but I think it is growing on me.
The gator pilot and main protag designs are pretty AWFUL. Although maybe the gator pilot will have some interestingly ironic characterization, as opposed to a manufactured, "silly," bland antagonist.
Scorpion pilot is good looking, but generic enough that she reminds me of Kallen from Code Geass or Akiza from Yugioh 5Ds.
Gannontortoise pilot and the chubby kid are gimmicky. You can tell just by looking at them what "traits" they will have ("Im smart", & "im fat"). Same logic applies to the Gilraptor pilot; he screams "edgelord."
So far I am really on board with the character design for the Tiger pilot. I hope we see more of him and his Zoid soon.
