Descripción editorial
Davine Lu is attempting to access the Netsphere within an unofficial stratum of the megastructure, where temporary access can be granted even without a Net Terminal Gene. After a fierce battle, Pcell steals Cibo’s precious capsule of human genetic information and forwards it to Davine Lu. After reuniting with Kyrii, Cibo and the provisional Safeguards try to retrieve the capsule before it’s too late. As Davine Lu attempts to connect to the Netsphere, the Administration slows down his connection speed to allow Cibo to give virtual chase and for Dhomochevsky to battle the Silicon Life in base reality. As a final act, Davine Lu steals high-level data and uses Cibo’s body to create an unstoppable Level 9 Safeguard…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Earth. The future. The world has become an endless metal labyrinth, populated by people hunted by unknown forces for their genetic material. Enter Killy, a quiet, dark-clad loner who is looking for the "net terminal genes." What are they? Why is he looking for them? Those are apparently questions for volume 2. Basically, the plot here is a thin MacGuffin on which Nihei hangs a relentless series of chases and gun- and swordfights between Killy and escalating waves of humanoid robots, disfigured mutants and spiny-necked mutated robots with guns for eyes. The art is actually quite good, with an eye for detail and architecture. But with ascending levels, occasional fights and increasingly bigger monsters for Killy to defeat, the storytelling is indistinguishable from old versions of Doom and Duke Nukem. This new manga is likely to appeal to younger male readers jonesing for an adrenaline rush while their PSPs recharge, but it won't be able to compete once their batteries are back at full strength.
