Book Reviews of Ghost in the Shell Volume 1 (Ghost in the Shell)
Book Review: Who defines humanity?
Summary: 5 Stars
In a world, where the definition of humanity is already stretched beyond anything previously believed perseivable, Masamune Shirow spins a tail that puts this graphic novel in a league of its own.
Rarely is this medium used to ask questions of such probing depth and scientific curiousity. The novel Ghost in the shell does this with a brilliant cast of unlikely covert law enforcement personnel. Shirow does all this, and more, with a hilarious and refreshing touch of humor.
The artwork is some of the best in the industry. Mr Shirow, which is not his actual name, uses his unique skills as a painter to convey his dark, questioning tale. Acrylics, watercolors and various copied textures are used in the renderings. Techniques from inking to scratching, to create effects with paint, are employed with tremendous skill and outstanding precision. For a man that claims that he was never a manga reader before his debut in the market, he does an outstanding job; he is crown jewel of the industry.
The only question that remains is when will Mr Shirow release the anticipated Appleseed 5 and Ghost in the Shell 2?
