Kanedaaaaaaa!

So I'm finally getting around to reading the Akira mangas I've had for a while. I just finished the fifth (of six) volume, and the story and art are absolutely outstanding. With six phonebook-like volumes to expand the story and develop the characters, the manga moves in a completely different direction than the anime. The art and the energy are about comparable though. It's incredible how much force Otomo packs into static pages and how on par with the film version it is. Borrow them from somebody. They're pretty kick ass. It's like a telekinetic version of Godzilla except on a larger scale with heavier themes. In this story, nukes have taken a backseat to the power we can get from DNA. This is, without any doubt, the premiere epic in the comic world.
