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"?

Human future doomed through hilarity,
By Leonidas Ornelas (Illinois,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirty Pair: A Plague of Angels (Bk. 3) (Paperback)
Adam Warren's third series, of the American comic adaptation of the Dirty Pair anime, is the first showcase of Warren's mastery of manga-style comic characters, plots, and situations. Unlike Biohazard, and Dangerous Acquaintences, the art work is much improved in that Warren uses much better detailing through fine lines rather than the broadline illos for the first two incarnations of the Pair. Here, the drawing and inking have reached American standards while adhering to a manga style appearance. Indeed, Adam Warren is among the best manga artist in the world today, and the original Japanese creator of the Dirty Pair animes is extremely please with the American's effort to deliver quality to his readership. Albeit a small crowd, but a proud consortium whom see his art as a beacan of hope in that Americans can create manga art without being Japanese. Here is the real dough: The Pair are assigned to help track a terrorist on a satellite planet which wants to put the terrorist behind bars. That terrorist is Carvahol, and he can switch bodies with an illegal personality chip, that plugs into an interface near the base of the neck of any one with such a modification. This helps him download his personality into a new body, and become quite difficult to catch. But in the eyes of the people inhabiting the satellite planet, the terrorist ranks second on their list of: Most Likely To Blow Us To Smithereens - Just a tad behind the infamous Dirty Pair, whom managed to cause mass genocide by accident on each case they take on. Trust me- its not their fault! But if you pick this up you'll see that they're just a little slow and suffer from a general streak of bad luck, and you will come to understand how innocent freelance reporter, Cory, first hates them like anyoneelse, but then realizes that the Pair just has a bad rap. Pick it up and enjoy. P.S.: For the future - place a letter in a time capsule so that you can warn your decendants about living on planets with Kuan Yin military products. They tend to lend a hand in "accidental" mass genocide.

MILLIONS DIE SCREAMING! 3WA Denies "Dirty Pair" Involved.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Pair: A Plague of Angels (Bk. 3) (Paperback)
"A Plague of Angels" is the third "Dirty Pair" story Adam Warren worked on, and it shows. Unlike the previous two mini-series, the artwork here is extremely detailed and complex. Warren came into his own with this one(back in 1991!), and the reader can actually see his artwork evolving as the story progresses. Although this one lacks the darker edge of other entries in the series, and doesn't progress as fluidly as "Fatal But Not Serious", the story is still quite interesting, and probably the one most laced with dark humor. Of course, the villain, Carvalho, helps this humorous status quite a bit by being obsessed with pornography(this obsession reaches some interesting heights towards the end...). For a change, the focus of the narrative is not on Kei and Yuri, but on the journalist Cory Emerson, who has the unfortunate task of writing a "fluff piece" on the two. Of course, things don't go exactly as planned, and the story builds to an absolutely insane climactic battle which rages on for forty pages! "Dramedy" and science fiction at their best, and a good starting point for readers new to Kei and Yuri. Highly recommended.

A real cool book for those that like big guns and action!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Pair: A Plague of Angels (Bk. 3) (Paperback)
The actions begins from the start and never ends. The humor is somewhere between a little sadistic and wicked. I would really recommend this book to any one that has read Bubblegum crisis!! Kei rules!! Yuri rules!!
