Im a huge fan of the previous dirty pair comics and this one is close to perfection. Some fans may not like Kei and Yuri having lips now, it takes a second to adjust. But to be honest Kei and Yuri have never looked better. The coloring is the best I've seen in a comic book-EVER. And Adam Warren is as incredibly clever as ever. His writting istyle is top notch, and the humor blends with the story brilliantly. My only complaint, and its a tiny one; is that there isnt as much action as before. While I dont need mecha exploding and body parts a-flyin' at every page, this graphic novel is a little more tame than the last 3. I recomend this graphic novel to any "lovely angels" fan(Kyotaku...if yer a fan u get it) all anime/manga fans and even casual comic book collector/readers. It is worth it.

It's easy to peg Adam Warren's Dirty Pair as just another T&A comic, that would be a huge mistake.

His stories are always filled with humor, warmth, sarcasm and crazy science fiction ideas.

This volume focuses on the last one, two genetically-enhanced, cyber-upgraded troubleshooters (the Dirty Pair) are sent to a black market technology station to bring in the worst of the worst. Look for artistic terrorists, French-speaking cyborg armies, cannibal cults, sentient bodygloves and stunning visuals.

This comic crosses Die Hard movies with the setting of Orion's Arm. If you get the references--stop reading.

If you didn't, then this very entertaining comic book has break-neck action crossed with concentrated future shock on a Dyson Tree habitat. Well worth reading for action fans, transhumanists, and otaku.
