Description
Search and Destroy Vol. 1 by Atsushi Kaneko and Osamu Tezuka is a thrilling tale of rage against injustice and exploitation. In a dystopian future, mercenary robots known as "creatures" serve the human elite, victimizing the city's desperate masses. A violent encounter sets off a chain of events that connects an orphaned thief with a mysterious girl hiding deadly cybernetic implants in a stinking animal hide. As she begins to kill one by one the city's most twisted and powerful creatures, her true identity and motives remain unknown. This authorized retelling updates the rebellious spirit of Dororo for the tumultuous 2020s, blending Tezuka's signature dark storytelling with Kaneko's diverse influences. The result is a visually rich and distinctive work of graphic storytelling that combines action, suspense, and social commentary.
