Eat-Man satisfies the senses
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Few comics can be called "smart" or "deep". More and more, many comics depend on flashy artwork and/or storylines. Eat-Man depends on neither to achieve it's goal of enticing the reader to crave more. Like the main character, Bolt Crank, the artwork in Eat-Man is low-key compared to other titles such as Neon Genesis. The storyline in each chapter is equally subtle and a refreshing escape from the mecha ridden, samurai filled, battle-this, battle-that landscape of today's manga cliches. Each chapter has it's own little twist, it's own little play on reality, and, ultimately, each chapter is unique and distinctive. The chapters are discontinous, each telling a new tale of the famed "explorer" Bolt Crank and his travels. You walk away from each chapter with a sense of "wow!". I strongly recommend this series as a whole. It is a refreshing change of pace from today's action- packed manga. I've seen some of the later books in this series and I can't wait for future translations to make it to the U.S.
