Possible Outcome of Dubya's War-manga-ry
Advantages: Classic Example of Japanese Anime/Manga Art, Cult following
Disadvantages: Expensive! And quite hard to find. American translation of Japanese is never positive either
See what I did there? I thought that was quite clever, you disagree? Oh.
On with the review then!

One of the best comic series ever
Advantages: Beautiful artwork, epic plot
Disadvantages: Expensive
...by pointing out that my review is based on the Dark Horse reprint of Akira that was released in 2001 (I think?). Each copy is pretty difficult to get hold of and you can expect to pay in the region of £25 for each of the 6 volumes (thats right. ...

The *Real* Matrix

Advantages: Unusual, Japanese, funky
Disadvantages: Hard to get into, hard to get hold of too.
...in the West who has heard of Akira has probably just heard of (or seen) the Manga animation, but the roots of that were in the long running japanese comic of the same name. Like so many comicbooks, there is a BIG backstory, and if you want to get i ...
