Label #3780639004

Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Brandon Easton, Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad and Jeremy Adams. Art by Mikel Janin, Valentine De Landro, Gleb Melnikov and Siya Oum. Cover by Riccardo Federici. This monumental Future State title features four big stories! First, Clark Kent is gone, leaving a Superman-shaped hole behind. People gather in Smallville to celebrate their hero, little realizing that he is across the galaxy helping others. Superman has gone to Warworld, where he fights as a gladiator in the deadly pits of Mongul. But this is Superman we're talking about -- and his idea of a victory does not line up with the expectations of Mongul's hordes in "The Many Lives of Clark Kent" by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Mikel Janin. Meanwhile, on the other side of Warworld, other agents are at work, struggling for a better life. Shilo Norman, the man known as Mister Miracle, has ridden a Boom Tube across the cosmos from Metropolis to find himself at odds with an entire planet in "Time and Effect: Part 1" by Brandon Easton and Valentine De Landro. At the same time, Midnighter, the greatest fighter from Earth, is punching his way through a whole mess of trouble. He's on the hunt for a new energy source deadlier than Kryptonite. His goal: to shut it down before it gets unleashed on an unsuspecting universe in "Future State: Part 1" by Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad and Gleb Melnikov. On top of that, the Black Racer, a girl raised in the slums of Warworld to be one of its top competitors, turns betrayal into a crusade to fight for the freedom of others like her in "Future State: Black Racer Chapter 1: Do Not Go Gentle" by Jeremy Adams and Siya Oum. 64 pages, full color.

Volume 2 - 1st printing.

Story and art by Shirow Masamune.

This deluxe edition will mark the first time the book has been published in its original Japanese right-to-left format in English. Supervised by the creator, this will be the definitive edition of The Ghost in the Shell. Released simultaneously with new deluxe editions of the other two books in the original series.

The long-awaited sequel to Shirow Masamune's groundbreaking The Ghost in the Shell, and one of the most highly anticipated graphic novel events in many years, Man-Machine Interface is Shirow's most ambitious and complex story yet, with deep forays into philosophy and the meaning of artificial life, intelligence, and existence. Utilizing awe-inspiring digital effects on a level never before seen in the annals of graphic fiction, Shirow has raised the bar for what can be achieved, page after page!

Tokyo: Following World Wars III and IV a Japanese-led Asian block dominates the world. A key element in the maintenance of the block's position is the elite Japanese security police, the SHELL task force. To give them an edge in their ruthless battles against terrorist groups, most of the force have had extensive cybernetic transplants that have left them only questionably human. This is an exciting and skillful work that realistically probes uses of artificial intelligence and "direct interfacing" with machines, and which questions where mankind's technological and medical progress will lead.

Hardcover, 328 pages, B&W. Mature Readers

NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.
