BATTLE ANGEL ALITA, VOLUME 3: Killing Angel: Vol 3 Paperback – Import, 5 November 1995

The stage has been set in Part 1 and 2.... and now a new Alita is born in Part 3. Introduction of new characters and all new 'Motorball' turns the storyline in a new direction. Enticing story telling and energetic graphics makes this journey even more exciting.

One of my all time favourite manga. I already own the Ltd edition box set, but I thought I would download the Kindle versions so as to keep the hardbacks in mint condition.

Great

These are the only words, spoken by Alita to Yugo, in a frame that fills a whole page in Battle Angel: Alita, 3rd Edition. She offers this profession of love high over the Scrapyard on an access tube leading to the aerial city of Zylem. The artist shows us not blurs and splatters, but instead awesome scope and human frailty. I'd like a framed copy to hang on a wall. What do we do when something like a profession of love goes horribly wrong? The remaining pages of this edition address that question; ripples of dysfunction started by Alita's trauma playout in the context of a vicious sport called motorball, a combination of NASCAR Racing, short-track skating, and medieval warfare for cyborgs. Ultimately, the author proposes that misfortune – such as a shattered relationship – makes us more resilient, a manga presentation of Friedrich Nietzsche's statement, "What does not kill me, makes me stronger." The image used in this manga, though, is blade made stronger by impurities in the steel. I am not sure disaster makes us stronger, but it is a great idea for a story; I'll give this edition five stars, like those previous.Toney Baus is also the author of Son of Sloan

Describes the separation from ISO and the strength of their relationships, deep and meaningful while remaining fun and interesting.Worth the time

So, Alita enters motorball to forget... And remember. What a-waiting her there? New friends? New enemies? Or something else? We'll see!
