Die Mutter aus einem Helikopter heraus von Kugeln durchsiebt… Er selbst Opfer eines Regimes, für das Recht und Gesetz bloße Worthülsen ohne Bedeutung sind … Schlimmer kann es für Eliah, den noch fast kindlich anmutenden Helden in einer postapokalyptischen Szenerie nicht mehr kommen – könnte man meinen … wenn nicht Endo der Zeichner dieser Endzeit-Story wäre, die sich an keine gängigen Genre-Konvetionen zu halten scheint. Die Gegensätze der Machtblöcke treten in Bildern zutage, wie sie für Endo typisch sind: auf der einen Seite der jugendlich-unschuldig anmutende Held, auf der anderen Sequenzen einer bestialischen Brutalität, die – zumal oft an Schwächeren vollzogen – die ganze innere Zerrissenheit und das Gespaltensein einer Welt nach dem Untergang zeichnet. Diese Bilder bleiben nicht ohne Wirkung auf den Leser.

Eden Volume One is both a brilliant love song to the post-apocalyptic survival genre and the beginning of a deep exploration on man's role in the natural order. In the near future, a large portion of humanity is wiped out by a brutal, new virus that hardens the skin while dissolving internal organs. Those who aren't immune are either severely crippled or allowed to live with cybernetically enhanced bodies. Taking advantage of a world in chaos, a paramilitary force known as the Propater topples the United Nations and seeks world domination. Elia, a young survivor searching for his mother, travels towards the Andes Mountains with an artificially intelligent combat robot. When he encounters a group of anti-Propater freedom fighters, a maelstrom of unique characters unfolds. Graphic, cyberpunk, and philosophical, Eden is a place where endearing heroes face a constant struggle for survival and violent surprises wait around every corner!

Backed by their military might and mutated Aeon soldiers, Propater forces continue to seek possession of our planet. They also seek to maintain possession of a body stuck in suspended animation - a body whose consciousness has just been downloaded into outlaw Sophia's sophisticated, cyber-enhanced system. Sophia lost her body years ago, with only her brain surviving the flesh-destroying plague that decimated the world. Will she risk her own existence for a chance to reunite Maya's body with his mind? Hiroki Endo delivers another deep, poignant character study, before sending readers into a brilliant, carnage-filled showdown between Propater mercenaries, a crime cartel, Colonel Khan's renegade crew, and a struggling, post-apocalyptic police force! To make matters worse, Elijah enlists the aid of an old friend and plans an ambush at a Gnosian airport. Desperate, young Elijah seeks a reunion of a different sort... and he'll kill anyone who stands in his way!
A young man's survival in a post-pandemic world filled with violence, where love is transactional and humanity fights to rebuild amidst danger.
