Still going strong!,

This review is from: Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys, Vol. 4 (Paperback)
After 4 volumes of build up 20th Century Boys starts to move. Most of the action is now happening in the summer of 2000. The Friends have infiltrated the Japanese government at the highest levels and are moving ahead with their plans.
Most of the book focuses on 'Shogun' a mysterious criminal in Thailand with a soft spot for protecting women. We soon see his role in the overall story. I really can't say anything more, Urasawa's story is dense and well plotted and still unfolding, but it's clear he has a plan and this is worth the ride.

This review is from: Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys, Vol. 4 (Paperback)
Urasawa is one of the best storytellers and artists around. I can't say enough good things about 20th Century Boys and Pluto. I'm one of those people who can tell how a tv show or book is going to end at the beginning.
Urasawa keeps me guessing about what will happen next. Please check out Monster and Master Keaton too.
