Alita is on a hunt for Barjack leader, Den. During this hunt, she will come across strange personas in the desert (Kaos) and come across from persons from her past (Yokomi and of course monster Dr. Nova). What becomes as a straight forward search will soon evolve into something much greater - secret that shattered one so close to Alita that memory wipe was the only way forward.

Story is more complex at this point, as it progresses less and less things remain black and white, gray area expands and not all people involved in fight against Zalem are bad, misdirected maybe but in general fully understanding what is going on. On the other hand what seems to be forces on the side of the angels, they might be working more with daemons.

And as part of this we follow Alita herself - as she engages in the fights it is clear that she has a very wild, almost berserker side that relishes combat. As time goes by, Alita also evolves as a character with a more human side than before and she learns to use force with control, not just unleashing it on everyone in sight.

Finally, secret of Alita herself, of her origins slowly starts to unravel.

Art as always is excellent. There are several pages, especially fights between Alita and AR's that are truly epic.

Highly recommended to all fans SF dystopia and always epic SF action. ( )
