Tokyo Ghost Volume 1: Atomic Garden by Rick Remender
4.0
"No one believes in love anymore. They say it's just a word to pretty up a biological urge... Maybe it's just two people clinging to each other to stay alive. Maybe sometimes that's all love gets to be."
Tokyo Ghost is a dark cyberpunk story. The art is beautiful, sharp and well laid out. The colors have a washed out look that meshes perfectly with the cyberpunk aesthetic.
The story itself is well paced and totally engrossing. Action is never too many pages away but the heart of the story, Led and Debbie's relationship, leads to some touching moments in spite of the gore and generally absurd levels of violence and destruction in other sections of the book.
There's some cringeworthy dialogue (especially from Davey), and I have no problem with profanity but it sometimes seems out of place coming from certain characters. Beyond that, no complaints about this.
Love it. I can't wait for the second volume of this to drop.
