I enjoy manga/anime more than I like to admit, that’s for sure, and Biomega currently tops my Japan-themed list. Okay, I’m also a sucker for science fiction … and horror … and pretty pictures, although there are some gritty ones in this  volume.

Tsutomu Nihei concocts a mind-bending new sci-fi horror that envisions humanity’s desperate future. In the hands of new wave idealists, a bleak outer space virus slashes through Earth’s landscape and corrupts healthy human beings, mutating them into zombie-like “drones” that meander hungrily and follow an unspoken code. Biomega propels readers into a dark age full of government conspiracy and media-driven health crises, and the further we explore, the more terrifyingly real and all too possible the world becomes.
