All Things Come Along just Fine…

Taking down the French cabal, rescuing hostages, slugging out some prisoner claiming diplomatic immunity, all in the days work. While the cat-like bioroid got nailed finally when covered in plaster. Deunan’s trying to patch up with distant Briareos. Once again, all in a day’s work at ESWAT.

I have always loved Masamune's books, world, and characters. While the story is basically strait forward the artwork is beautiful and the concept fascinating. For those who haven't read any of these this series is about a post appocalyps (world war/faction wars) utopia, and two characters trying to fit in after having lived in war torn lands for a long time.

Ummmmmm, it's the third volume of the Appleseed saga. Very good story, right in the middle of Shirow-san's Appleseed powers, in my opinion. Lush art and an enticing and enthralling (for it's subject matter) story line. The format is well done, though I wish slightly larger as I think the art could use the room. I have the the other volumes from the Eclipse 1st Ed and the difference in size is quite noticeable. But, the price was right so....

This is a great story from the first two. Together they fight agaist a feline enemy. With a few twists and turns it makes it a great read. Pick it up and see for yourself. I can only say so much about it. I am a fan. :^}

Action packed, funny, and interesting

Appleseed 3: The Scales Of Prometheus is a Japanese cyberpunk manga/graphic novel by Shirow Masamune, creator of ''The Ghost In The Shell''.

This is a cool comic. The two main characters Deunan and Briareos are awesome and lovable. Similar to The Ghost In The Shell, the comic combines action with comedy. The first chapter called ''Point Man'' is the best chapter in the whole book. There's SO much action in that chapter.

Cool sci-fi graphic novel. I definitely recommend it.
