And You Thought Darth Vader on Electric Guitar Was Awesome...

... I was reading Battle Angel Alita: Last Order when I saw this.
http://www.mangafox.com/m...t_order/v013/c088/2.html Kishiro is completely insane and only in the best of all possible ways. 
Ooh! Thanks! I didn't even know this was available! I'd been collecting the paper collections for years! But I'd gotten frustrated of late with the
slow production schedule of putting out new volumes. This is great! And yes, Kishiro is WHACKED OUT. ^_^ BTW, is anyone doing Cannon God Exxaxion? They apparently stopped doing that one entirely and I need to find out what happened!

Hah! Pun! Funny, right? Heh heh. Heh. Hehhh.... okay, moving on. I'd love to pick up the rest of eXaXXion as well. I think Volume 5 was the last
one I ever managed to find. Amazon searches come up empty. 
I'm having trouble understanding that picture..... Is that a Geth Husk on fire hatchet?
As for Cannon God Exxaxion, I think DH is focusing on Kenichi Sonoda's other work, Gunsmith Cats. To the point of shrink wrapping & applying warning stickers. Ayep they're putting back in the European(read Swedish) movie content. --Rod.H  Quote: Rod H wrote:And they can't get here fast enough.

Quote: Rod H wrote:Well, I guess it is tough to follow for someone who hasn't been following the scanslations recently. Dark Hork really needs to get on the ball with this series - they claim to have caught up, but Kishiro and his Japan-side publishers are trully leaving them behind in the dust. As for the characters, they're all members of an ad-hoc Space Karate Alliance Team assembled by the Master of the School of Electromagnetic Space Karate, Toji, who happens to be the drummer in this picture. On guitar is Rakan of the Armor Piercing Karate school - he's known as an assasin for not only utilizing his depleated uranium fingertips, but also equiping them with polonium injectors so that even a scratch from him is lethal. He is also known as a rapist (the guy is a PERVERT), but they have him around because of his blinding speed. The 'fire hatchet' is being manned by Master Taraba of the Super Crustaceous Karate. This man is a Karateka in the most traditional sense - reacting, yet never on the defensive, and striking a killing blow only when it is called for. A most honorable man. And on vocals you have Zekka, the Unstoppable Fist. He's known for squashing glass beer bottles so fast that the glass liquifies instantly and resolidifies into a print of his palm - he gives these away like a celebrity would give out autographs (only if he's in a good enough mood though - he does this to the head of a guy that annoyed him). He is the ultimate anarchist, recognizing no authority other than his own, and what's worse is that he has the ability to back it up. I've yet to see him and Alita fight, but he went up against Sechs in a match of, of all things, thumb wrestling! Guess who got pwned royally? (Sechs had the last laugh, though, when he used his smaller self to vandalize Zekka's motorcycle when he was all caught up in the thumb wrestling match. Of course, Sechs got pounded through several decks for his trouble.) 
To sum up: what we have here is a bunch of posthuman martial arts masters ROCKING THE HELL OUT.

But yeah, I would REALLY like Dark Horse to get off their ass and release more GSC, which is, by far, my all time favorite manga. I'm even rebuying the compiled bersions to get the added bits.

Beyond that, I see nothingk, know nothingk! --- "Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay waste." |
