Customer Reviews

This is good, but you need a while to understand it.

I like this book, but the art was very crowded, making it difficult for me to tell what was going on. It was hard to discern which character was which, but I sorted it out eventually. This is a wonderful series--I just wish the art wasn't so complex.

Well drawn, well written, well worth it!

Silent Mobius was one of my first Graphic Novels. I recommend it to everyone interested in Manga. If you're just getting into it, Silent Mobius is a good start. If you've been collection Manga for a while and you're into Science Fiction, pick up Silent Mobius. It's a good series. I suggest you start with Vol. 1 and work your way up, it's easier that way.

the story is a bit slow BUT.....

this is an excellant manga book for anyone who is intrested in or is a seasoned reader of this type of comic. the story is set in tokyo some 1,000 or so years from now, planets in bad shape, mysterious creatures, yada yada. sure that whole thing has been done before but kiya pulls it off in excellant fashion. every thing is very well done and it's a good story that will have and keep you excited and interested in what the charecters are doing. it also has some really good emotional scenes that make it so that you can really understand what the charecters are going through. the plot picks up slowly but believe me it's well worth the time it'll take you to read it. buy this book and you'll want the rest, the charecters are just so inrtesting, you need to get this book trust me! ps.don't listen to the guy above who gave it a 1 star rating he obviuosly doesn't appreciate a good story with nice art( i got so enthralled by the visuals and art that i didn't notice the "almost80's ish" haircuts and besides there's nothing wrong with a good cyber punkish story, as long as it's good, which this one is!).

Arigato Kia Asymia!

After volumes 1 and 2 I was definitly hooked. When Lebia Maverick the ultimate cyber head comuter junkie has to stop Holonic the visionaire gone virus, Rob DeVice has to stop the monster making Dommel, and finally we find out what the A.M.P (Abnormal Mystery Police) is really about you can be sure that this is Kia Asymia's greatest acheivement!

An excellent manga!

I just got finished with the Battle Angel series and after poking around several other series to get into I have finally settled on Silent Mobius. The story is great and so are the characters. If you are into "cyperpunk" comics, you'll love this.
