Blame!, Volume 9 — Tsutomu Nihei

In the aftermath of an apocalyptic battle, all that remains in the world of Blame! is grim: Killy is on the brink of death, and Cibo's fusion with the Level 9 Safeguard unit has reduced her once-impressive intellect to that of a child. As the merciless silicon creatures close in, a mind-boggling spherical space inside the city may hold the key to salvation... "Action packed, bloody, and cerebral to the core, it's stunningly drawn and impossible to put down." -Dave Halverson, Play Magazine
