Books like Blame!, Vol. 10

My re-read of Tsutomu Nihei's Blame after 15 years was a real good one.An original cocktail of genres where Robert A. Heinlein's Universe meets Manga, cyberpunk distopian, France-Belgium Bande Dessinée and bio-mechanic aberrations out from a H. R. Giger's nightmare.In a world rife with decay and destruction, set maybe on earth, maybe in the future, where the oppressive atmosphere concrete and steel closed environment is a main character and you can see how author was an architect before starting his mangaka career, Killy wanders this endless dungeon looking for the Net Terminal Genes, meeting scattered human survivors and fighting nightmarish silicon creatures with the help of his overpowered gun, scientist Tsubo and a few other characters met along his travel, almost a quest for a personal grail filled with twists, action, and lots of speechless splash-pages with Killy and his shadow wandering alone in this gloomy dark world.Storyline was a real meandering one, sometimes so confusing that I just had to go back and see if I missed reading something, but this Manga is a real hyper-detailed creepy graphic masterpiece, an open-eye nightmare leaving to the reader the final task to fill all the gaps and left open questions.An intense image-focused, sometimes incoherent, read with barely any dialogue where the ride is far more important than the ending.Maybe you are not going to like everything here, the ending was an half disappointment for me, but this is a real classic dark cyberpunk tale where you are the co-author of the story.Just read it and enjoy.
