Appleseed Book 3: The Scales of Prometheus

I could put 4 or 5 stars out of 5, but this volume had so many annoying things connected with those ones I , personally, hate judaism, communism etc.

Ummmmmm, it's the third volume of the Appleseed saga. Very good story, right in the middle of Shirow-san's Appleseed powers, in my opinion. Lush art and an enticing and enthralling (for it's subject matter) story line. The format is well done, though I wish slightly larger as I think the art could use the room. I have the the other volumes from the Eclipse 1st Ed and the difference in size is quite noticeable. But, the price was right so....

I have always loved Masamune's books, world, and characters. While the story is basically strait forward the artwork is beautiful and the concept fascinating. For those who haven't read any of these this series is about a post appocalyps (world war/faction wars) utopia, and two characters trying to fit in after having lived in war torn lands for a long time.

Books 1 and 2 were great. They had an interesting and driving plot. But, book 3 was dull, Dunan transformed from bad ass soldier to something of a stereotype, the romance subplot was unexplored, and the action was hard to follow. All this was through a pretty rough translation that dedicated entire chapters to fictional politics and philosophical musings. 1 and 2 were gems. Book 3 was a bit of a chore to finish. Hoping book 4 is a little better.

This is a great story from the first two. Together they fight agaist a feline enemy. With a few twists and turns it makes it a great read. Pick it up and see for yourself. I can only say so much about it. I am a fan. :^}

Great service and price

It's so much fun for me finally getting to read the Appleseed Manga after watching the movies all this time!

Appleseed 3: The Scales Of Prometheus is a Japanese cyberpunk manga/graphic novel by Shirow Masamune, creator of ''The Ghost In The Shell''.This is a cool comic. The two main characters Deunan and Briareos are awesome and lovable. Similar to The Ghost In The Shell, the comic combines action with comedy. The first chapter called ''Point Man'' is the best chapter in the whole book. There's SO much action in that chapter.Cool sci-fi graphic novel. I definitely recommend it.

Shirow Masamune is the man when you want a bit of Cyberpunk Manga this is a must!

The shipping was fast but the book I had received was damaged on its spine.
