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.
