Manga creator Atsushi Kaneko (EVOL, Bambi and Her Pink Gun) concludes his cyberpunk retelling of the timeless, Eisner Award–winning Dororo by “God of Manga” Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Buddha).
The broken and discarded creatures of the city have had enough of the caste system that keeps them servile, and they rise up to strike… Doro the little thief must confront their past and make impossible decisions about their future... And Hyaku? Hyaku’s quest to retrieve the stolen pieces of her body is nearly at an end, and her path of righteous and bloody vengeance leads directly to the great betrayer, her father. Robots, humans, creatures, monsters: no one will survive unscathed.
Final conflicts rage in this spectacular conclusion to Atsushi Kaneko’s epic cyberpunk masterpiece! Featuring stunning and visceral artwork and a story that is startlingly relevant to today's audiences, deeply intertwined with the work of Osamu Tezuka's classic samurai manga masterpiece, Dororo.
Praise
"Kaneko reimagines Tezuka's 1960s epic fantasy saga Dororo as a gritty, fast-paced cyberpunk thriller ... Kaneko retains Tezuka's relentless pacing, flair for melodrama, and thematic focus on justice, corruption, and individuality within an oppressive society, while integrating elements of body horror and an increased focus on the unsustainability of societies where vital resources are controlled by a thriving minority, to the detriment of the masses." — Library Journal Starred Review
"It's a blast of pure cyberpunk energy." — Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"A captivating work... This series would be great for fans of Naoki Ursawa's Pluto books or Tsutomu Nihei's Knights of Sidonia series." — Booklist
"Richly imagined..." — The New York Times
"Search and Destroy grabs you by the throat with its opening chapter and never lets go." — Multiversity Comics
