I thought Kirihito was really really satisfying in a pretty narrative/traditional way, and the experimental panels and transitions were extra icing on the monmow cake.<BR/><BR/>YES PHOENIX! it's probably my favorite comic series ever.<BR/>-ryanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175574490647908108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1164896648625719012006-11-30T06:24:00.000-08:002006-11-30T06:24:00.000-08:00speaking of Osamu, i just wanna say thank you.than...speaking of Osamu, i just wanna say thank you.<BR/>thank you for the post about <I>Ode to Kirihito</I>.<BR/>after reading your post, i ordered it out of curiosity, having only read my ten or so volumes of <I>Astro Boy</I>.<BR/>i ended up reading <I>Kirihito</I> over a weekend and i LOVED it.<BR/>i'll probably start the Phoenix series next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1164262141453112362006-11-22T22:09:00.000-08:002006-11-22T22:09:00.000-08:00Yes.Also, you know me, and you know that if the ch...Yes.<BR/><BR/>Also, you know me, and you know that if the choice is between period piece and space craziness, well, the choice is obvious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1164068075979889502006-11-20T16:14:00.000-08:002006-11-20T16:14:00.000-08:00it is really really really good. The stories are a...it is really really really good. The stories are all self-contained, and each book vollies back and forth from distant past to distant future, and changed genre a million times along the way. It's one of those series that is indirectly incremental and rewards you for reading from the start, but each basically starts anew with a new set of characters...<BR/><BR/>Hmmm. i mean, i would say that the best things would be to get:<BR/>1) old style period piece story? get Volume 4 : Karma<BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-4-Karma-Osamu-Tezuka/dp/1591163005/ref=pd_sim_b_3/103-8344969-0379033 <BR/><BR/>2) space story, future crazyiness? get Volume 2 : Future<BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-2-Tale-Future/dp/159116608X/sr=1-2/qid=1164067586/ref=sr_1_2/103-8344969-0379033?ie=UTF8&s=books<BR/> <BR/>But seriously, almost all of them are really really good.

Is there a particularly exemplary/stand-alone-ish volume so I can determine if it's worth the pain? Or do I pretty much have to start from the beginning?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
