Btooom! #24

Junya Inoue's survival thriller reaches its 24th volume with a cover that places a blonde, blue-eyed young woman front and center, gripping a BIM device as she navigates a crumbling industrial scaffold alongside a group of other players scattered across the rusted framework above and below her. The "Games Reboot" banner signals a fresh, high-stakes chapter in this battle-for-survival series, and the worn, battle-damaged setting gives the whole image a gritty urgency that fans of the franchise will immediately feel. Published by Yen Press in 2019 with an explicit content advisory, this volume makes clear that Btooom! hasn't lost any of its edge.
