Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 4 by Osamu Tezuka, Takashi Nagasaki, Naoki Urasawa

3.0

I'm an avid comic book fan, graphic novel proponent, and sci-fi reader. When I recently came across a description of the Pluto series, it seemed right up my ally - super-advanced robots trying to find their place in the world, intermixed with a series of whodunit elements. The first several books were pretty good, but at the half-way point of the series, I'm feeling rather meh about it. It's not bad, but it's a bit slow, and it seems to spin its wheels in places. There are seven super-advanced robots in the world, and they're being "hunted" by someone or something. And number seven falls to the hunter. And number six fights the hunter and falls. And number five fights the hunter and falls. And number four fights the hunter and falls. Between each: People are concerned! There are shadowy figures whose intents are unclear!

It's not bad, it just feels rather drawn-out.

I'm going to finish it, because they're pretty quick reads and I'm curious about where it's ultimately headed, but I'm reading more out of obligation than engagement at this point.
