Product Description: Robot is the ongoing series created by Renge Murata, character designer for Studio Gonzo's Last Exile and Blue Submarine No. 6. His hand-picked contributors come together in a mind blowing experiment of what happens when top manga artists work with the unusual medium of color. Narrative diversity competes with high level artistic experimentation in this monumental work.
DMP won over a new fan To my great surprise, I happened to win a copy of the third Robot book from the publisher (DMP) a few weeks ago. This was a series I had always been interested in - I'd heard praise from friends and read reviews - yet had never been sure if it would appeal to me. I now believe that was only because I didn't know what I'd been missing.
From the moment I opened the cover, the rich and detailed illustrations captured my attention. I was both delighted and impressed by the diversity of the stories, each one evoking a different emotion, be it humor, nostalgia or just sheer confusion. It's fun to re-read the stories and attempt to figure out not only what they mean, but what they mean to myself as well. I have since picked up the first two books and found them just as enjoyable.
Overall it's a fun, engaging and visually stunning read, and at Amazon's price is it well, well worth the investment. Give it a try. There truly is something for everyone in this series. (rated 18+)
Highly Recommended.
Great. Thanks. Got to say I don't appreciate the huge ugly sticker in the bottom right of the cover whose removal left a permanent mark on my new book.
