The Dirty Pair face their greatest challenge yet when Kei confronts the awesome horror of...her employee evaluation! It looks simple: simulations are generated by the Central Computer to test her responses, but when a mysterious malfunction traps Kei in virtual reality, Yuri must enter the sim to save her from a series of increasingly night-marish scenarios. From outer space to the ocean depths to the infinity of cyberspace, can Kei and Yuri survive the simulated -- but still lethal -- terrors of the apocalyptic "Nanoclysm"?

Three Lovely Angels For the Price of Two!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Pair: Fatal But Not Serious (Paperback)
Truly one of the most wonderfully psychotic science-fiction stories ever written, "Fatal But Not Serious" is widely regarded by Dirty Pairverts as the best of the eight(to date) "Dirty Pair" stories Adam Warren has published. Hysterically funny and bitingly saitirical, with loads of gratuitous cheesecake piled on for good measure. Not to mention that Kei and Yuri(and Yuri) cause more destruction in this story than in all of their other Warren-created adventures put together. The action builds and builds, and just when you think that the explosions couldn't get any bigger, and the carnage couldn't become any more chaotic, it does. Plus, in the tradition of Masamune Shirow, Adam Warren makes excellent use of eugenics and cybertechnology concepts.Highly recommended to "Dirty Pair" fans, manga fans, anime fans, comic book fans, or just you cerebral hard-core science fiction types, like myself(it may be cheesecake, but it is incredibly well written cheesecake). I guarantee that the twist ending will have your jaw hanging, and you mumbling pitifully, "w-w-wha-WHAAAAAAT! "

This review is from: Dirty Pair: Fatal But Not Serious (Paperback)
Being a female, I wasn't really into stuff like that. Until I was sent a free copy featuring the two infamous wide-eyed, gun-totin' chicks barely dressed in metallic bikini suits and high-heeled boots that the whole galaxy loves so much! Boy, was I really enthralled by Adam Warren's very skillful artwork depicting a very detailed, multi-layered futuristic world where the two girls live as well as a craftly spun-out science fiction tale with a MUCH DEEPER DEPTH than a comic book would ever dare go! Here in this story, our lovable heroines go on a talk show, become honor guests for their fan convention, go dancing, get attacked by Yuri's "bad girl" clone, chased by a gun-waving mechanical monster, and get lynched by their very own adoring fans! Such gorgeous pictures quite graced by luscious shots of the sexy, scantily clad young cuties as well as such eye-poppingly graphic violence and yes, lots of gore, mass destruction, and countless deaths. But you'd enjoy it all nevertheless!

Not light hearted...,
By Tysonius (Livermore, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dirty Pair: Fatal But Not Serious (Paperback)
*Warning-spoilers*
I rated this book one star because while there's a great deal of action/violence in the comic, much of it is personal, mean-spiritied physical violence involving one of the main characters. Blowing up planets and cities is in a sense abstract, and unreal; showing favorite characters being badly beaten, shot and ... other things... is really unpleasant. Overall, the script is pretty dark: The bad guys get off scot-free, an incredible calamity (caused by those same bad guys) destroys a solar system, and one of the Dirty Pair are killed. Kind of a crappy way to end the book, IMO. I thought about giving this two stars for the art, but I actually prefer the art style in the original manga and anime series. If you really like Warren's work, you can add another star.
