Eden It's an Endless World TPB (2005-2014 Dark Horse) comic books 2005

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Hiroki Endo. Eden Volume One is both a brilliant love song to the post-apocalyptic survival genre and the beginning of a deep exploration on man's role in the natural order. In the near future, a large portion of humanity is wiped out by a brutal, new virus that hardens the skin while dissolving internal organs. Those who aren't immune are either severely crippled or allowed to live with cybernetically enhanced bodies. Taking advantage of a world in chaos, a paramilitary force known as the Propater topples the United Nations and seeks world domination. Elijah, a young survivor searching for his mother, travels towards the Andes Mountains with an artificially intelligent combat robot. When he encounters a group of anti-Propater freedom fighters, a maelstrom of unique characters unfolds. Graphic, cyberpunk, and philosophical, Eden is a place where endearing heroes face a constant struggle for survival and violent surprises wait around every corner! From the pages of Afternoon, the same manga anthology that brought us Blade of the Immortal and Oh My Goddess! Often compared to Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira in both artistic execution and storytelling scope, Hiroki Endo's deep and beautiful Eden series is finally available in English! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 216 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $12.95.
