Media Reviews

A great, kickass story. - James Cameron

A story to savor, this is science fiction at its best. - Otaku USA Magazine

With this oversize reissue, it's easy to really marvel at [Kishiro's] artwork... Battle Angel Alita is certainly one of the greatest (and possibly the greatest) of all sci-fi action manga series. - Anime News Network

The moment my local comic store stuck a Battle Angel Alita poster in their window with a 'Now In Stock' notice, I grabbed up my copy of the first volume and it changed my life forever. - Brenden Fletcher (Batgirl, from the foreword)
