LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- In 2089, Los Angeles is a partially
flooded, toxically polluted wreck inhabited by a populace totally
dependent on drugs, blood sport, and cheap thrills and in thrall to
an evil corporation that rose to power by producing an endless
stream of distractions and diversions. When Constable Led Dent, a
hulking, bloodthirsty enforcer, and his partner and lover Debbie
Decay are tasked with infiltrating Tokyo, a luddite paradise whose
populace is committed to the ancient practice of Bushido, Debbie
sees an opportunity for a fresh start. What follows is a stylish,
bleak, action-packed, and deeply moving love story that examines
how yearning for escape can keep us from ever being free. This
complete edition collects single Issues 1-10 of the series and also
includes supplementary material by the author and artist. VERDICT
Remender (Seven to Eternity) and artist Murphy (Punk Rock
Jesus) are two of the hottest talents currently working in
comics, and this epic volume is sure to be a breathtaking modern
classic, ranking among the most fully realized graphic works of the
last decade.-TB
