Book Description: Professional `Trouble Consultants` Kei and Yuri travel to Nimkasi Habitat, a remote crime-plagued space colony located beyond the civilized confines of the United Galactica. Given 100 minutes to extradite 50 assorted terrorists and techno-riminals from this deep-space hellhole, the Dirty Pair plan to clean the CPU clocks of all available gangsters, thugs, and swindlers - and still have time to polish their bikinis! Based on the popular animated series from Japan. Includes special bonus story, `Start the Violence,` plus a pinup gallery featuring Adam Warren and guest artists Adam Hughes, Bruce Timm, Brian Stelfreeze, and Humberto Ramos.
Mad science fiction, flawlessly executed It's easy to peg Adam Warren's Dirty Pair as just another T&A comic, that would be a huge mistake.
His stories are always filled with humor, warmth, sarcasm and crazy science fiction ideas.
This volume focuses on the last one, two genetically-enhanced, cyber-upgraded troubleshooters (the Dirty Pair) are sent to a black market technology station to bring in the worst of the worst. Look for artistic terrorists, French-speaking cyborg armies, cannibal cults, sentient bodygloves and stunning visuals.
A Transhumanist "Die-Hard" This comic crosses Die Hard movies with the setting of Orion's Arm. If you get the references--stop reading.
If you didn't, then this very entertaining comic book has break-neck action crossed with concentrated future shock on a Dyson Tree habitat. Well worth reading for action fans, transhumanists, and otaku.
Very well done! Im a huge fan of the previous dirty pair comics and this one is close to perfection. Some fans may not like Kei and Yuri having lips now, it takes a second to adjust. But to be honest Kei and Yuri have never looked better. The coloring is the best I've seen in a comic book-EVER. And Adam Warren is as incredibly clever as ever. His writting istyle is top notch, and the humor blends with the story brilliantly. My only complaint, and its a tiny one; is that there isnt as much action as before. While I dont need mecha exploding and body parts a-flyin' at every page, this graphic novel is a little more tame than the last 3. I recomend this graphic novel to any "lovely angels" fan(Kyotaku...if yer a fan u get it) all anime/manga fans and even casual comic book collector/readers. It is worth it.
