Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical "auto-mail" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his brother's bodies...the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Ed and Al come face to face with the "father" of the homunculi, who just so happens to be a dead ringer for their own father, Van Hohenheim--a resemblance too uncanny for coincidence. And later, when the allure of immortality proves to be too much for Prince Lin of Xin, he lets Greed take over...literally
I haven't actually finished this volume yet because I donated it to my school library, but what I've read so far is pretty frickin' shweet.
Good stuff, continued.

Hiromu Arakawa, Fullmetal Alchemist, vol. 14 (ViZ, 2006) Arakawa kind of pulls the sucker punch at the end of vol. 13, when we finally meet the homunculus leader, but things quickly turn interesting when the prince, tempted by the idea of immortality, allows Greed to take over his body. Things are certainly getting interesting in the world of FMA. Series is as strong as ever, perhaps stronger. ****
better with each book!

This manga just gets better with each book. The art is amazing and the story is captivating. Hiromu Arakawa is incredible and never ceases to impress me. One of the best manga stories I have ever read.
another great volume

Here's another great volume in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series. We meet the father of the homonculi (who looks just like the Elrics father), we see the rebirth of Greed through Lin. The conspiracy thickens and the alchemists are trapped into serving Bradley. I can't wait for the next one.
