About the series
In 2003, Viz Media adapted the moody, mecha-noir anime The Big O into a six-issue comic series, bridging the gap between the show's two television seasons. Written and drawn by the original Japanese creative team, the comic expands on the story of Paradigm City, a domed metropolis whose inhabitants have no memories of the past, and its negotiator Roger Smith, who pilots the giant robot Big O. This series is essential for fans seeking a direct, print-based extension of the anime's distinctive blend of film noir aesthetics and giant robot action.
