Summary: Not as good as other...
Review: Bought the Japanese version but think the contents are the same for the English one...I have been a fan of Terasawa since the early 80s and I must say, the GOKU series is probably the worst of his books. The stories are pretty weak(unimaginative and repetitive) compared to his other works like COBRA and KABUTO--and the "Neo-Tokyo" setting gets tiring after a while, along with too much pointless sex (waaay more then his other series. Dunno if he's trying to compete with HeavyMetal Magazine or something, lol). If you're a diehard fan of Terasawa then get this. If not then go buy his other books.

Summary: Fast paced cybernetic sci-spy action!
Review: Goku is a private detective who lost his eye, only to have it replaced with a powerful computer interface by a secret benefactor. Thus begin the adventures in this fast paced manga series by Buichi Terasawa, perhaps best known for his COBRA series. Goku Midnight Eye has a lot of the same flavor as COBRA; fast paced, high tech action, cybernetically enhanced heroes, and those sexy, scantily clad ladies that Terasawa is famous for. Back in 1992, VIZ comics published a 6 issue color version of some of the same material. The VIZ series comprises the first 3 chapters in volume ONE of Comics One's adaptation. Comics One takes it one storyline longer in this first volume, with a similar take on the translation. The black and white artwork is more satisfying than VIZ's color version (which seemed substandard), but I did enjoy the larger VIZ format.... Keep it up Comics One! Here's hoping they bring us more classic manga series in this format!
