Appleseed #4: Promethean Balance (NFSUK)
"The adventure continues as ESWAT operative Deunan and her  cybernetic companion Briareos work to stabilize the uneasy worldwide peace they fought so hard to  establish." One of the quintessential Japanese science fiction comics,Appleseed--like the other  work of writer/artist Masamune Shirow (Ghost in the Shell, for example)--combines  interesting philosophic cyberpunk themes with dynamite action. The artwork is slightly more  confident than that of the first volume ofAppleseed, and the pacing is even more masterful. Witness the  first action scene: the first 15 pages are told almost entirely without words.
