I feel like I just got rickrolled. I started out reading Gantz, but I ended up reading Manfried the Man. Wild.

The final phase of the series brings epic destruction to the world. And as it burns, the Gantz team is basically tossing teaspoons of water at the conflagration, trying to make a difference but making little progress.

Everything is so over the top now -- especially Tae's odyssey -- that I can only laugh and go along for the ride. The roller coaster has left the rails but it's going to do some loop-de-loops and barrel rolls before it plows into the ground.… (meer)

The aliens the Gantz team fights keep getting more and more powerful, so maybe its time to get off that track and start heading toward, oh, say, maybe, hmmm . . . the apocalypse?

But it wouldn't be a Gantz volume without something tasteless and triggering, so how about a school shooting to set the end-of-the-world mood?

Meanwhile a journalist is making progress in his investigation to find out the origin of the black spheres.

It's time for the final quarter of this gonzo sci-fi thriller! What ending could possibly top all that has come before?… (meer)
