Nene is thrilled to make a friend, but there's more to Uzal and Clarion-and the island of Cenancle itself-than meets the eye. When a super-powered terrorist threatens Cenancle, Uzal claims that the only way to avert disaster is for Nene to team up with Clarion and use their combined powers-abilities Nene never even knew she had!

Paradise ain't easy! In the future utopian metropolis of Olympus, a blazing beacon of humanity amidst a post-global-war wasteland, ESWAT agents Deunan and Briareos have fought tooth and nail to keep the peace and prevent Olympus from sliding back into chaos. When Olympus intelligence learns of a giant Landmate powersuit being built in secrecy, and on the threshold of a top-secret international conference of the highest importance to be held in Olympus, ESWAT is mobilized to crack the mystery and disrupt a terrorist operation that could turn the fragile peace into World War IV!

Life seems ideal within the utopian confines of Olympus, a shining beacon in a post-World War III wasteland, but perfection is always an illusion. Stalking the ruins of New York City is Artemis, a renegade, flesh-eating bioroid (enhanced artificial human) carrying data critical to the future of Olympus. The elite ESWAT is sent in to tranq her and bring her in, but when Artemis recovers during transit the powerful combat bioroid brings down the transport ship and escapes into Olympus! ESWAT agents Deunan and Briareos are dispatched to bring in the feral Artemis, but will they emerge as heroes...or lunch?

The second volume in this hyper-action synthesis of Japanese cyborg culture! Motoko Aramaki is a counter-terrorist expert who straddles the real world and the virtual networks of cyberspace. Using remote drones of her cyborg self, she is out to solve a string of bizarre crimes that will lead her into the path of psychic Tamaki Tamai.

Depuis sa fusion avec le puppet master et quatre autres entités, Motoko est devenue la forme de vie la plus complexe de l'univers.

Die Luft der Erde ist von Bakterien (und nicht nur davon) so sehr verschmutzt, dass sie nicht mehr Atembar ist. In dieser Suppe fährt Leona mit ihren Partnern Al und Bonaparte Streife (Bonaparte ist zwar nur ihr Panzer, aber Leona hat eine ganz besondere Beziehung zu ihm). Zusammengehören sie der Tank Police an, die mit ihren Panzern Verbrecher jagt.

Die junge Seska gehört dem Foo-Zay-Clan an und verdient sich ihren Lebensunterhalt damit, sich als Magierin anheuern zu lassen. Eines Tages, als sie sich wieder einmal in der Hauptstadt aufhält, soll sie plötzlich von der imperialen Polizei verhaftet werden. Sie kann aber entkommen und zum Tempel ihres Vaters, Meister Fuzen, flüchten. Auch dort wartet schon die Polizei.

Ghost in the Shell ist der Ausdruck dafür, dass der Ghost (Das Sein eines Wesens) in einen künstlichen Körper eingepflanzt wird. Dadurch erhält der Mensch neben größerer Kraft, einer gewisse Unsterblichkeit (Der Körper kann ja ausgetauscht werden) auch die Möglichkeit, sich der neuen, computerisierten Umgebung anzupassen. Duschdatenbahnen, die direkt mit dem Gehirn verbunden sind, ist die Kommunikation mit Computern oder zwischen Menschen ohne besondere Geräte möglich.

Deunan und ihr Partner Briareos, ein Cyborg, leben nach dem 3. Weltkrieg als Einzige in einer zerstörten Stadt. Dort werden sie von der neuen Regierung, Aegis, die sich nach dem Krieg gebildet hat, aufgespürt und nach Olympus, dem Sitz von Aegis, gebracht. Dort soll nach dem Krieg eine perfekte Gesellschaft entstehen. Doch unter der Oberfläche brodelt es.

Earth lies devastated after World War III, and even within the protected confines of Olympus City, away from the lethal Badside Zones, discontent is rife. As human rebels plan an uprising against the supercomputer that controls the city, two Badsiders find themselves thrown into the fray.

Functional simplicity, structural complexity: the best life for all. That's the maxim of Olympus, the utopian city that sprung from the ashes of World War III. But Deunan and Bri, a young woman and her cyborg companion just entering the rose-tinted society, find that so long as there are different kinds of people there will be differences among them. Such is the story of Appleseed, the masterwork of manga storyteller Masamune Shirow. Beautiful art and a complex and fully realized future world rank this title among the best comics available.

Der Manga 'Appleseed' ist benannt nach dem amerikanischen Modellpionier und-Erfinder Jonny Appleseed, sowie nach Menschen, die ihm nacheifern. Es sind Leute, die versuchen, sich eine neue Welt zu erschaffen, um im Cyber Age zu überleben.

Deep into the twenty-first century, the line between man and machine has been inexorably blurred as humans rely on the enhancement of mechanical implants and robots are upgraded with human tissue. In this rapidly converging landscape, cyborg superagent Major Motoko Kusanagi is charged to track down the craftiest and most dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, including "ghost hackers" who are capable of exploiting the human/machine interface and reprogramming humans to become puppets to carry out the hackers’ criminal ends. When Major Kusanagi tracks the cybertrail of one such master hacker, the Puppeteer, her quest leads her into a world beyond information and technology where the very nature of consciousness and the human soul are turned upside down. From Shirow Masamune, the award-winning creator of Appleseed and Dominion, comes The Ghost in the Shell, the breakthrough manga that inspired the internationally acclaimed animated film. An epic dystopian tale of politics, technology, and metaphysics, The Ghost in the Shell has been hailed worldwide as an unparalleled visionary work of graphic fiction. And now it’s ready to dazzle the imagination in its second millennium.

World War III is over, and nomad soldier Duenan Knute and her cyborg partner Briareos struggle to survive in the abandoned cities and demilitarized zones of the post-war wasteland, the "Badside." Matters appear on the upswing, however, when they are found and brought to Olympus, an urban utopia and centerpiece for the reconstruction of civilization. Duenan and Bri join the Olympus police, a force that seems hardly necessary in such a paradise. But, like in most pretty pictures, perfection is an illusion, and Olympus's peaceful facade hides a dark secret, a violent struggle between human and cyborg that could once again plunge the world into war...and genocide.
