About this title

Review

This book is for fans of Masamune Shirow's science fiction comic book epic Appleseed. One of the elements that sets Shirow's manga (including his popular Ghost in the Shell book) apart from other comics is his incredible attention to the details of his fictional world, including its history, its science, its technology, and its politics. For readers who can't get enough of this detail, Appleseed Databook is the book for you. It contains detailed global maps and a chapter titled "Guns: The More You Know the More Interesting They Are." Although this book contains a 48-page comics short story, which is Chapter 26 of the complete Appleseed saga, it's not very conducive to new readers. However, if you only have a later volume of the series and want the back story filled in, this book is great.
