Hollowpoint Ninja. Gothic Lolita. Cornfed. Stem Cell. Social Butterfly. They’re nanobuilt humanform combat mecha, with "smartware" bodies specialized for covert ops and Artificially Intelligent minds programmed for suicidal loyalty. They’re the superhuman products of a top-secret, quasi-governmental R&D program with a unique agenda: namely, to seek out and destroy OTHER top-secret, quasi-governmental R&D programs.

I expected absolutely a horrible manga wanna-be mecha mish mash.
What I got was a great story and an introduction to the Livewires. It actually kept me interested, and I think this would also appeal to my 12 year old goddaughter (who has been asking about manga lately--I picked her up some manga, and she liked it, and I think this would also be right up her alley)

Hmm... sounds interesting.
Thanks for the heads up. This would've just been another new Marvel title I would've skimmed over.  |

I'm going to look at it to check out May's new work as well.
There is some news and links about it on the recent news at davidmackguide.com.
If anyone is new to May's work, check out is Scarab story. The Volume 6 of Kabuki. Shows a tour de force of his range and style. |

Adam Warren's stuff is great. His stories always contain biting humor, and jabs at society.
If you like this go check out The Dirty Pair by Warren.
It's available through Dark Horse, and their fun little books.
I've loved Rick Mays art since the cross dressing issue of Nomad back in the day, so this book has been on my pull list since I heard about it  _________________ Buy RI #1!

I might get on your recommendation, but damn, those names are worse than the ones on Young Avengers. _________________ ------------------------------------------------------
