It never is explained in this volume just why he’s able to talk, and while a trip to Wikipedia explains why, I almost wish that it never was. Only once did the story actually catch my interest and made me think, "Hey, what’s this?" That’s when Kozlov Grebnev, an ambulatory, talking, gun-wielding bear made a sudden appearance to try and protect Eon Green, the target of both our protagonist and the enemy. A "synthetic human" as a protagonist brings a surprisingly small amount of interest it’s an idea, like most in Biomega, that seems to just get tossed out and then forgotten about. As a story it’s actually rather unremarkable in terms of its finer details. 1 was a dystopia with cities that rise up over the horizon like massive black fortresses, a virus traveling like wildfire across the population of the planet, and a wild chase to acquire a target before an evil corporation snags her first. What I found inside the covers of Biomega Vol. That’s actually exactly why I wanted to read Biomega, to see if his stories were as impressive as his visuals. I think it says a lot about Nihei’s comics that while I’ve never actually read one of his comics, I already knew exactly what his art style looked like. Depending on what sort of comics you read, Tsutomu Nihei is best-known in English language comics for the science-fiction manga Blame! or the Wolverine mini-series Snikt! I can only assume that the exclamation points in both titles is a coincidence.
