Review by Library Journal Review

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 © Copyright 2017.
