Appleseed #2

Masamune Shirow's Appleseed Book Two arrives under the "Prometheus Unbound" banner, continuing his vision of a near-future world where humanity and technology are deeply intertwined. The cover, entirely Shirow's own hand, presents a compact, armored young woman cradling a large firearm alongside a massive, hulking bio-mechanical figure — a pairing that quietly communicates both vulnerability and raw power. Published by Eclipse in 1990, this volume is a fine entry point into Shirow's remarkably detailed and thoughtful science-fiction universe.
