DESCRIPTION:
The Great Kanto earthquake six years earlier has left scars the city won't soon forget. Mega-Tokyo, 2031. And if the Armored Defense Police can't prevent the bubble from bursting, then the four-woman vigilante unit known as Knight Sabers will suit up for action!. Even as its glorious Genom tower rises higher with repairs, in its shadow creeps a new wave of crime, a sign that beneath the growing prosperity and recovery is an undercurrent of discontent a world on the brink of exploding
Kristopher C. Hunt said Great comic.. Yes comic not manga, Adam Warren is a cracker, lets leave it at that. Either way the comic series (compiled in one volume here) is fantastic for fans of BGC. It adds a sharper, more cyberpunk view of the world in general, Europe, and Genom alike. Some funny moments mixed with dark humor and plain horror. In my opinion this is Warrens best work, and I loved Empowered and Dirty Pair. Any fan of BGC or cyberpunk would do well to get this. It also re-affirms that Priss and the Replicants were Retro-Thrash instead of 80's pop like the english dub of the original series leads you to think (u. A Customer said Well, I Liked It. So There.. I must admit, I am more than a little confused by the somewhat violent and decidedly unpleasant reaction others have given this graphic novel. I actually rather enjoyed the thing, and I believe the main reason for that is this: I never saw ANY of the "Bubblegum Crisis" animes before I read "Grand Mal." Science fiction fans, on the whole, are a rather obsessive and unforgiving lot. I should know, I'm one of them. However, my obsession with all things sci-fi has not left me so closed-minded that I will not accept any variations on some favorite characters of mine. A fan of the original ". "To all those who hated this." according to Donovan Atkinson. If any of those below had bothered to do their research, or had the original paper back of this book, they would have known that Kenichi Sonoda approved this manga. Who is Kenichi Sonoda? Only the creator of Bubblegum Crisis, no one special. Characters were true to form with an Adam Warren twist. Sonoda was very proud of this comic, and the fact he didn't have to draw anything in it.~ Highly recommended.
