Akira, Vol. 3 by Katsuhiro Otomo
5.0
Third volume starts with Kaneda and Kei barely surviving the escape from military compound with Akira in tow. While trying to hide from the military their trust in their allies will be put to test. Who can be trusted in poisonous political environment? At the very moment when everything seems lost things get worst due to the stupid action of a man who cannot admit defeat. And then true cataclysm takes place.
Tetsuo is absent from this volume for almost entire run. Only at the end does he enter the scene and disappears with the most potent force on Earth. Volume truly ends on the cliffhanger.
Art is, as is always the case for this series, excellent. Framing of parts of Neo-Tokyo just bare minutes before the cataclysm is pure joy to follow, events playing out like on a movie screen. Level of details is incredible, families preparing for start of the day seconds before the disaster and then silent panels where buildings get reduced to ash and dust.... what to say but phenomenally done.
Highly recommended to all fans of SF.
