Book Review: Biomega Vol. 1


Review:  #664
Title:  Biomega Vol. 1
Series:  Biomega - 1st volume
Author:  Tsutomu Nihei
Read Before:  no
Comments:  Biomega takes place in the far future where mankind has already sent manned mission to Mars centuries ago.  It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where a virus has been unleashes rendering those infected zombie-like status.  Our protagonist is a non-human and the first volume is spent with him trying to save an “accommodator”, someone who has the virus but is immune to its effects.  Perhaps the most notable feature of Biomega is that most of the panels have little to no dialogue, which makes it really easy and quick to browse through.  The style of drawing can be a bit dark to make out what is happening clearly and the story doesn’t pick up enough to keep your interesting.
Rating:  6/10
