Set on post-apocalyptic world, Rick Remender (Deadly Class) has again set us in an adventure with Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 1: The Atomic Garden. Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 1 is the story of Constables Debbie Decay and Led Dent as they try to escape their fate in the dangerous streets on the Isles of Los Angeles in 2098, wherein human race has been addicted to virtual technology. Their destination is Tokyo, the last city on Earth that is free from tech and cyber crime. This volume is composed of five issues.

Rick Remender carefully treads in developing the two main characters Debbie Decay, a straight-forward, clever and loving lady who only want the best for her worn-out addicted lover, Constable Led Dent.

Remender’s style of writing transcends to his characters to a personal level, either main or supporting. He gives the right amount cynical, happiness & miserable and not too climactic nor exaggerated. Remender straightly goes for it with no hesitation to deliver such poise to this story. He emphasizes on the emotional problems and personal issues of his characters, taking you to an emotional roller coaster. But what is more fascinating is that, Remender correlates them with the overall plot. Thus giving details that you will be needing in the next pages. Making sure that you will be coming back for more.

Sean Murphy also did a superb job in making his art striking. Some panels present alluring visuals that are amazingly gory and dramatic. The panels are wide and large, giving good detail of each illustration on each panel. Matt Hollingsworth fully compliments Murphy’s  line work.  His colors are playful and vibrant. Hollingsworth tones perfectly the feelings in each panel.

Additional features with Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 1 are Sean Murphy’s character studies and sketches, cover studies, and Matt Hollingsworth’s color process.

Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 1 by Rick Remender, Sean Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth is not your average post-apocalyptic or Neo-Japan story. It is a piece of something out of  a bigger picture that you will crave for more after reading this book. The book promises a wild shift. It is a well-written and stylish book with candy-hue panels that will get you in to a very compelling ride to the world of robots and nanotechnology.
