Blame! Vol. 9 [Paperback]

Tsutomu Nihei (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 7, 2007

In the aftermath of an apocalyptic battle, all that remains in the world of Blame! is grim: Killy is on the brink of death, and Cibo's fusion with the Level 9 Safeguard unit has reduced her once-impressive intellect to that of a child. As the merciless silicon creatures close in, a mind-boggling spherical space inside the city may hold the key to salvation... "Action packed, bloody, and cerebral to the core, it's stunningly drawn and impossible to put down." -Dave Halverson, Play Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Great and Going Strong!, August 14, 2007

This review is from: Blame! Vol. 9 (Paperback)

Here it is, at last, the ninth volume of the series, and the story is still going strong. Fantastic, and moody, the art complements Killy's journey through the Megastructure as he continues his odd quest for Net Terminal Genes. He encounters various types of Silicon Creatures, odd technology, and incredible settings. And still the mystery continues: what is the Megastructure, and how does Killy fit in?

This volume is worth it just for the views of the Megastructure. The artwork is enough to purchase the volume alone. In some ways it reminds me of the prints of Piranesi--lots of angles, staircases, strange technological devices that don't make much sense at first, sweeping vistas of vast technological spaces, and don't forget all the different sentient machines. This Manga lives up to its billing: definitly 'Cerebral to the Core'!!
