\"War<\/p>\n

By Jae-Hwan Kim<\/strong> (TOKYOPOP)
\nISBN: 978-1-4278-0188-3<\/p>\n

This visually impressive if traditional sci-fi action thriller from the Korean end of the manga world is set in a post-apocalyptic future. 2504 AD: Genetic engineering has created a society where people are second class citizens, playthings of the hybridized animal\/human ‘Beasterians’, bred to be our warriors but now occupying the top of the evolutionary food-chain.<\/p>\n

This semi-feudal world is a battleground for rival hybrid clans, and humanity is poised to join the Dodo, but there is still The Prophecy. The Post-Testament Bible offers the slim hope of salvation for Mankind, and the militant arm of The Church has its own hybrid super-warriors, known as Angels.<\/p>\n

When the Holy Mother \u00e2\u20ac\u201c destined to be the mother of the new Messiah – is abducted by the Overlord Tyron’s unstoppable third-generation hybrids, a ragtag band of Angels must retrieve her at all costs\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

This is nothing new, and older manga fans might recognise a lot of Buronson and Hara Tetsuo’s ‘Fist of the North Star’ in this fast and furious battle extravaganza, but they probably won’t care. This is the kind of plot-light, adrenaline-party blockbuster that guys drag girls to every summer, and on those disposable terms it excels. Exciting, excessive, entertaining eye-candy.<\/p>\n
