Battle Angel Alita Vol. 2

by Yukito Kishiro

This complex science fiction adventure by the great writer and artist Yukito Kishiro is full of action and humor. The heroine, Alita, is a powerful cyborg and master of the most lethal fighting technique, the Panzer Kunst, but she also has a tender heart and a mysterious past she must uncover. Her second chance at life is a struggle just to survive each day and leads her on a series of emotional battles: her heart's broken, she gains and loses friends to the cruel world of the Scrapyard far below the Utopian city of Tiphares, and she serves many masters in her quest to protect the innocent and create a new life for herself. Kishiro blurs the lines between flesh and machine, challenging the reader, with philosophical, historical and cultural references, to question what it means to be human.
