Battle Angel Alita: Holy Night and Other Stories

Yukito Kishiro returns to the world of Battle Angel Alita with this single-issue collection from Kodansha USA, gathering a trio of short stories set in the series' universe. The book includes the title story "Holy Night," which explores the origins of the enigmatic hunter-warrior Desty Nova, alongside other vignettes that flesh out the lore of the Scrapyard and its inhabitants. Kishiro, the sole writer and artist, brings his signature blend of intricate cyberpunk detail and philosophical introspection to these self-contained tales. For longtime fans, this 2018 release offers a compact but meaningful addition to the saga, bridging gaps in the timeline without requiring deep prior knowledge of the main series.
