Battle Angel Alita Part Eight

In the late 1990s, Viz wrapped up its English-language release of Yukito Kishiro’s seminal cyberpunk saga with Battle Angel Alita Part Eight, a nine-issue run that concludes the original manga’s story. This series follows the continued struggles of the cyborg warrior Alita in a dystopian future, as she confronts the mysteries of her own past and the oppressive forces of the floating city of Zalem. Kishiro’s intricate world-building and visceral action sequences make this a landmark work of the medium, cementing Alita’s place as a defining character in the cyberpunk genre.
