Simply put, the best comic to ever be produced in the 80's. There isn't a single, generic plotline to be found here but it's a series of procedural cases linked by a main antagonist working in the background with people (in particular the protagonist) that feel alive and real, more than any animated adaptation was ever able to reproduce (a rare exception in my personal preference of anime adaptations over the original mangas). The predictions and notes by the author about chemical warfare etc. are very interesting and the quips showing social conscience and critique mesh well with the general tongue-in-cheek way in which theauthor writes the material, with no pretention whatsoever to be found. The art is gorgeous too, with futuristic landscapes that feel real and palpable and characters as well as machinery well designed. As a person who refused to years to read this comic because prejudice I thought that nothing could match the movies and TV series, I can't recommend this masterpiece enough. If you're into sci-fi or comics in general, read this period. You won't be disappointed.
