Dominion: Tank Police

Rating:
Summary: Real Good Manga
Review: This is really good manga. I would recommend it to anybody that likes tanks, artillery, explosions, and the like. However, there's some limited nudity, so don't buy it if you get offended by stuff like that.

Summary: Masamune Shirow's best story
Review: This may be heresy, but I think this is by far the strongest actual *story* by Shirow. His other works--Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, among others--are beautifully illustrated, but get bogged down in technical arcana. This book is much more straightforward. The art is still gorgeous (especially the 8 or so color pages at the start), so this book scores on all counts. The core of the story is police using tanks to hunt a criminal. The subplots give the book its charm, with a host of characters (particularly the lovestruck meter maids) zipping about on their cleverly-interwoven agendas. Also, for those who haven't read the original Dominion story, Shirow notes that he wants readers to think of Dominion Conflict as entirely separate. This book is entirely worth special ordering, as it is wonderful and almost impossible to find.

Summary: Tank Police!!!
Review: This was the first manga i read back in the year 1997, since then my collection has grown to over 200 books. Unlike many folks who like Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed better this manga is my favorite of Shirow's work. For those who are not of the scientific mind this volume will be much easier to read than ghost in the shell or appleseed, but that does not mean that it loses any insightfulness, anyway one should read the book alone for the exploits of Lt. Brenten and Annapuma and Unipuma
