mattyo's review against another edition
I love Tezuka, especially his later works. I love Urusawa’s Monster. This was basically a hybrid of the two with Astro Boy thrown in. Can’t wait to read more

I have not read Astro Boy but I still feel that he is a very iconic figure. Writing a new adaptation of an existing story is always either a daring endeavor by a fan or a cash grab attempt. This, thankfully was the former.
The brilliance of this book is that from the start, the writer have asserted that this is not a Astro Boy clone but in fact has its own life. In fact, We do not even see Atom till the last pages of the volume. That sends a strong message to the reader.
The world was already built by Ozamu, years before this book was even written and so won't discuss that for this book. But I fell in love with th3e characters right off the bat; especially Gesicht.

Este tomo plantea un inicio muy interesante con la investigación de una serie de asesinatos que investiga el agente Gesicht de la Europol.
Mi historia favorita ha sido la de North 2, por emotiva, aunque todo el tomo es genial.
