Description
A crimelord exploits prisoners of war to run a remotely-controlled global strike force, and the investigation reunites Kusanagi with an old friend and pits them both against Chinese security forces. A family see their dead daughter on television, except she looks 15 years younger than she did when she died. The infiltration of anti-cyberisation cult calls for Section 9's most 'human' members to abandon the support of their enhanced colleagues and do things the old-fashioned way.
Four all-new stories take the cyberpunk classic The Ghost in the Shell to new frontiers in this full-color, hardcover collaboration between original creator Shirow Masamune and some of the world's most innovative comics writers and artists. Featuring stories by Max Gladstone & David Lopez, Alex de Campi & Khoi Pham, Brenden Fletcher & LRNZ, and Genevieve Valentine & Giannis Milonogiannis, with illustrations by Becky Cloonan and more.
Reviews
"This book is a treasure... the most interesting that the franchise has been in what feels like a decade." -Paste
"Hits all the familiar beats -hard-boiled dialogue, big action set-pieces, and fully grounded, gritty science fiction elements - but does so with style and real ingenuity... Oh my yes." -NPR
"Every story in the anthology really grabbed onto one or more aspects of the original and ran with it. Issues of access to information, healthcare, safety; the meaning of identity in a world were you can be - and are - multiple people; the meaning of borders, of ageing, of family all were highlighted in extremely smart ways... Damned good." -Erica Friedman, Okazu
"Very satisfying! You don't need to know anything about Ghost in the Shell to enjoy this!" -Comics Beat
"Required reading." -Paste Magazine
"A must." -Multiversity Comics
